I'm starting to look at places it could be cool to have a Belegarth event. An actual historical castle (rather than the plywood ones they have in the US) would make for a fantastic backdrop, so I started collecting castles, castle ruins, and palaces in the area. A plain Google Maps search doesn't get all of these, I had to vary the terms a bit, and also got some help from official listings. The more I worked on it, the more castles kept popping up. And Munich is not even in high-density area for castles.

    Let's chat about that in the office. I was on some larps etc. In castles or castle ruins. But a well situated castle is often very expensive to rent for any event - or in very high demand.

    I'd love to hear your experiences.

    I realize that renting an actual castle would be expensive, especially down around here, but at first I'd be happy to have it as backdrop, so having access to a lawn with a view would be enough.

#Security weirdness of the day: I followed a link to #Instagram, and it told me they'd noticed an unusual login. Now I hardly ever log in to Instagram, so I imagine any login would be tagged as unusual. But this login - which blocked me from viewing a public post until I answered whether it was me or not - was from two months ago. I have no idea if I logged in then. I might have, for whatever reason, but who remembers where they log in for several months? Not I. The follow-up page had me change my password, without any other kind of challenge. I got a mail afterwards, but seriously, that's some weird shit.

If only the sun flares in my photos were this impressive. Originally shared by Astronomy Picture of the Day (APoD) A Solar Filament Erupts Image Credit: NASA 's GSFC, SDO AIA Team https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap180916.html What's happened to our Sun? Nothing very unusual -- it just threw a filament. Toward the middle of 2012, a long standing solar filament suddenly erupted into space producing an energetic Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). The filament had been held up for days by the Sun's ever changing magnetic field and the timing of the eruption was unexpected. Watched closely by the Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory, the resulting explosion shot electrons and ions into the Solar System, some of which arrived at Earth three days later and impacted Earth's magnetosphere, causing visible aurorae. Loops of plasma surrounding an active region can be seen above the erupting filament in the featured ultraviolet image. Although the Sun is now in a relatively inactive state ...
