Just found out that a lot of people don‘t know that you can use a ”C7 figure‑8 power cord“ with any Apple power adapter in case you forgot your travel adapter. Way cheaper to get one of those usually than a full travel adapter. #travelhacks

I finished all videos of #kirbykonf of day one yesterday already. Watch @getkirby.com to see what and when they go online.

All packed for @getkirby.com Konf number one in Mainz. Are you ready? 🤘

While we are at it. Just dropped in and well, did I ask for it?

Screenshot of a cold pitch email in white monospace text on a black background, addressed to Marc. The sender offers their 35 years of senior event-production expertise for upcoming projects — apparently unaware they're pitching this to someone with 25+ years of event experience of their own.

Great to see @matthiasott.com give his fantastic "Painting with the Web" talk at the @typo3.com developer days! 🙌

Matthias Ott stands at a lectern speaking to an audience at TYPO3 Developer Days Karlsruhe 2026. A projected slide on the left reads ‘Let devs design & Let designers code,’ with ‘design’ underlined in green and ‘code’ underlined in pink. A TYPO3 ‘Room Sponsor’ banner stands next to the lectern, and attendees are seated on wooden chairs in the foreground.

I love the Telekom. That happens if I click “Widerspruch” (means: objection) to not get their advertising emails …

Screenshot of a Telekom website page titled 'Widerspruch' (Objection) with the subheading 'Empfehlungen zu vertragsähnlichen Produkten' (Recommendations for contract-like products). The page explains that users can submit an objection to stop receiving such recommendations via email/SMS. A pink 'Widerspruch' button is centered on the page. In the top right corner, a black error notification reads 'Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten – Ihre Änderungen konnten nicht gespeichert werden' (An error has occurred – Your changes could not be saved).

Short sign of life from me. Wanted to have a few videos ready already, but I guess I start as soon as this is better. Longer story of what it is, but I must have done too much last week at @beyondtellerrand.com in Berlin. 🤷‍♂️ Give me some time and videos and other post event stuff will be done ;)

What I said about the talks recently (bsky.app/profile/marc...) counts for the amount of published #btconf #videos of the #talks also. 😳

Marc Thiele @marcthiele.com · 16/09/2025

That is actually pretty crazy. 😳🤩 So many speakers over the last ~15 years at #btconf

Similar over here. Just that I also have an overhead mic in addition to have the mic out of the picture. Sound I record can be heard on the last two @neu-gierig.fm episodes ;)

In those rare moments, where I open Facebook again, my Facebook stream looks like this 10 seconds after opening it and hiding everything that I get shown, but don't want …

A screenshot of my Facebook page. You see all suggested posts hidden as “don’t show again” and all sponsored posts collapsed as “don’t want to see”. All that is left: no posts at all.

Good to see @johnfallsopp.com again. On stage at @cssday.nl and in person. Way too long since last time. Can you imagine that it is 11 years since he spoke at @beyondtellerrand.com

Look how happy I have been, when Gustavo gave the finished, handpainted sign to me 😍🥰

A hand-painted sign by Gustavo Ferrari. The background is green. In beautiful letters it says “beyond tellerrand” in yellow and white with a pink and violett drop shadow. The words are surrounded by a blue floral frame. Everything has beautiful and amazing details.

Having a look at the photos of last year's @beyondtellerrand.com in Düsseldorf make me look forward even more. Can't wait to experience this again. All the lovely chats, the great talks, the joy and positive energy of everybody.

I always question if I have something interesting or relevant to say, if I get invited to an interview (or also to give a talk). But this one waAl-Mosawithe nice ones as Rainer asked good questions and turned it more into a conversation. marcthiele.com/notes/a-litt... (Photo: Celine Al-Mosawi)

Does anyone know why, since a few weeks, my icon in google searches looks different? Looks smaller as if google wants to make sure the whole icon is shown. Had a look at other websites, where the icon looks fine, but they integrate the favicon the same way. Thanks for insights and help ;)

In Düsseldorf today for an interview and photo shoot. Enjoyed all of that and am energised to make #btconf Düsseldorf, 15 years after I started it, an enjoyable experience for anyone being part of it again! So many stories written, but many more waiting. ☺️
