It’s such a weird snapshot into someone’s life when a customer sends you a screenshot of their entire desktop. Oh look, there’s your family. There are your vacation plans. Now run this command in Terminal and the app will start working again.

View from an office window. Sunrise over a city landscape (Jätkäsaari, Helsinki). There is a canal crossing the view and snow on the ground.

The clouds outside my office window are acting all dramatic

These houses are just ridiculously cute though?
