Milano Cortina 2026: Cortina Sliding Center
This year’s sliding events–bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton–will take place at the brand-new Cortina Sliding Center. Built on the site of a historic sliding track, this new venue came together in only the last couple of years. It features a state-of-the-art refrigeration system that pumps a mixture of water and ethylene glycol beneath the track surface to keep the ice properly chilled. Each section of the track is continuously monitored to optimize the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the refrigerant to keep the track at maximum performance while minimizing environmental impact.
According to the designers, it’s the first competition track to use a glycol-based refrigeration system, which should be more sustainable than the ammonia-based systems used elsewhere. For a sense of what a run is like, check out this skeleton driver POV run from the facility’s shakedown competition last year. (Image credit: LMSteel; video credit: tuff sledding)

Woohoo! The curling's started!
I genuinely enjoy the Olympics. And all sorts of other international sporting competitions, too.
With that in mind, here is a list of hashtags the likes of which I promise to use when mentioning such things, so if it's not for you, get yer mute on:

Back to Suunto From Garmin
Reading Time: 2 minutesI like Garmin Connect and the Garmin Instinct 2. Both the app, and the device are good and they're reliable for tracking sports on a daily basis. Having said this, I felt the urge to slide back to my Suunto devices and the Suunto app. For many, many, many years I was very happy with suunto getting two dive computers, one feature watch an ambit 2, ambit 3, Suunto Spartan and Peak 5.
I used these for hiking, climbing, scuba diving, swimming, running and one or two other sports. For years I had no issues with this brand but I was curious to slide towards Garmin, to see what that experience was like. It has been good so far.
Recently I noticed that with the Garmin Instinct 2, as well as the Explore, and Explore 2 synchronisation between the device and phone app were slow. Sometimes I would finish a workout and it would take minutes to sync rather than seconds.
Aside from the slowness of the app I also notice feature creep. They want us to log food, and to pay a yearly fee, rather than just paying for a device and using it for a few years before paying for another device and using that for another few years.
Digital Sovereignty and Fitness
In theory I should dump Garmin, Apple and Strava, in favour of Suunto, Sports tracker and komoot. In this day and age America forgets that although some people want to migrate to the US, plenty of people spend billions on IT, Apps, devices and more. Garmin and Apple really benefit from Europeans and the rest of the world using American brands, rather than local ones.
Google, Apple and others are actively kissing the ring, so it really pushes me to break from their brands. In contrast, from what I have seen so far, Garmin endures, rather than goes out of its way to please a certain individual and his entourage.
A Desire to Support Local
While the US treats the world like an enemy, rather than a friend, I feel like supporting local companies and products. I feel like supporting infomaniak for some things, and Suunto for others, and Rivella for more, and Galaxus for yet others. I want to cut my reliance on the US.
Suunto and Komoot
Suunto is Finnish, although owned by a Chinese company, and Komoot is German, Both are local to our continent, and yet we automatically gravitate towards the US centric apps and devices, rather than local ones. This is a normal part of life, but in the current circumstances it is absurd. We should support local, to Europe, projects.
Privacy
For a while Strava had better privacy than Komoot. I noticed that we can now give an address and an area will be masked automatically, to hide where we live, work, or where we start activities from a place where friends, or family might live. That's useful, because it means I don't need to crop an activity before sharing it. That saves time.
And Finally
In the end I like to bounce between apps and platforms so I look for excuses to slide from one to the other. In essence Strava and Komoot are fed automatically, whereas Apple Fitness, Garmin and Suunto need to be fed data directly. This means that Strava and Komoot are safe, although I will pivot to Komoot in future. I don't want to stick with Garmin, and Strava, if they both suffer from cost creep.

Psyched to shoot my first roll of large format film on my “new” camera from 1917-ish: a Kodak “No. 2 Folding Autographic Brownie” (sez so, right on the handle). Only 8 pics/ roll, cuz they’re like 4 inches! Shooting Ilford 400 speed B&W. Will find a way to use the timed shutter: release once to open, release again to close.

glad we have the big remodels coming up - should be plenty of work - i need more tools, a mtb, and will probably build out an ai ws? the gpus are down in price but you really need the ws platform which is about 1500 - i have to get working more but i am relaxed about it, website and biz cards plus ads will help #sliding scale work

On this news of the United flight slipping off the runway at IAH, must queue up this song:
Paul Simon - Slip Slidin' Away
"Slip sliding away, slip sliding away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip sliding away" -
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Recently I have been sliding between Windows, Linux distributions and MacOS throughout the day. I use a mac for blogging, and Linux to experiment and learn new skills, and windows to watch Netflix and YouTube. I might be over-simplifying but that’s the simplified version.
Pi and Linux
I find that I have come to be at ease in all three environments, especially since playing around with Raspberry Pi devices. “Why?”, you may ask. Because with a Pi you can try dedicated images for Nextcloud, for PhotoPrism, for Immich and more. You can also try them for Ph-Hole and others. The advantage is also that you use microSD cards. This means that you slot in card A and try A1, then you slot B and try B1 and finally you try C with C1. In the end you’re trying instances with what could be thirty seconds with your Pi being a PhotoPrism server, before it becomes a NextCloud server, and so on. With enough SD cards if you mess up you can revert to something that you enjoyed using with a minute or two.
MacOS
I am using the Mac for blogging for one key reason. The git history for this blog has become too big for a sync in a single go and I need to learn how to sync just the last 10 changes, rather than the entire history, but that requires RTFM. I haven’t taken that time yet. It’s not laziness. It’s about having more interesting projects to work on before reaching this one.
Windows
I use the windows machine for media viewing habits because it’s plugged in to external screens and a monitor whereas the other two aren’t. I practiced using Chocolatey and PowerShell, as well as other windows related experiments. I also use it for flashing linux SD cards. It’s good at that because it has an SD card reader built in so I don’t need a dongle.
And Finally
In the 80s, as a child I played with the CLI, and norton commander, and DOS, and Windows 3.1. I installed games and chose sound cards and more. I used to see displays that recently I have seen quite regularly. It’s interesting that the CLI interface to NextCloud reminds me of when I was playing with computers as a child in the 80s. For decades I left the CLI behind, but now I’m back. I use it daily at the moment.
When I first started playing with Linux in the 90s I had to download the ROM, burn a CD or a DVD, and then attempt to install the OS on a computer. I would often succeed, and sometimes fail. Now, you don’t need to burn a DVD. You just flash a microSD card and you’re ready to go. You don’t even need to prepare a USB key, and wait for an install on a desktop. Experimentation is faster now.
The next step is to install Nextcloud, HomeAssistant, Pi-hole and PhotoPrism to play nicely on a single device.
