👋👋 Hey hey,
I’m Nicolai, a 26-year old student from Germany.
I’ve been meaning to get back into blogging for years, and I’ve finally managed to finish one of my grand website projects! Excting.
Take a look!
If you want to reach me, you can do so by emailing me here:
/uses
For Work and School
- 13" M4 Pro MacBook Pro 1TB SSD (which I dearly love even though I ordered it in the wrong colour)
For Fun
- PC with Ryzen 7 3700X +
Intel Arc A770 (the strangest combination of all time, exclusively for gaming)RTX 5070 Ti (I got a great deal on it and it’s much better for both gaming and ML, sorry, Intel! Please ship the B770/C770) - Kindle Scribe (I love the large screen because I can set the text to be large enough for me to read without glasses while still fitting a somewhat reasonable amount of text)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max + Apple Watch Series 9
- Canon R6 Mark II (which I really should use more, mostly with the EF50mm Æ’/1.8 STM)
- Blackmagic Pocket 6K (borrowed from work to record our plays)
- MUBI (+ Notebook because I love a magazine that’s not meant to be read)
- Sonos Beam + Era 100s
- Nintendo Switch 2 (I’ve been really into Pokémon lately)
- PS5 Slim (got it with my internet contract and I do like it)
Software
- VS Code (for almost all my coding)
- PyCharm (exclusively for AI projects I have to build at work)
- XCode (I’ve been really into silly little one off apps—watch this space)
- BBEdit (for my linguistics data entry work)
- Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve Studio (the latter mostly if I accidentally record in BRAW)
- Alfred (which I’ve come to love more than I ever thought possible)
- Texifier (to spend too much time on LaTeX for things that really don’t need it)
- Adobe Lightroom CC (unfortunately, no one else even comes close)
- Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher (for everything Lightroom doesn’t do)
- Obsidian (which I live in)
- Apple Music
Spotify (for the easy last.fm integration)(I switched back to Apple Music because I always hated Spotify’s UI and podcast-pushing) - Letterboxd
- Fantastical (mostly for the overview)
- 11ty (for two theatre websites and this blog)
- omg.lol for my silly little portfolio (really just a collection of links)
- Handbrake, Shutterencoder & VLC for various tasks
- Apple Mail (it does what I want it to do)
Outlook (it was not for me, I still think it’s a terrible app)
Things I hate having to use
- Teams (for work)
- far too much Google stuff (theatre, my main hobby outside of reading runs on it)
/stats
I built a fun stats page. Find it here.
/experiments
Similar to the stats page, there’s also a (highly experimental) page where I’m trying out some things. Find it here.
