Stories, software, and a life lived across several worlds
There is something emotional about having your first meal at a new place you call my place. The farm is not in any shape to allow humans to live there at the moment. It’s not like buying a house or apartment. But we wanted to make that positive experience.
So I got into the truck and went shopping. First I went to the lumber store to buy some 70x40 mm pine wood, we got a kitchen counter top of 180 cm length, purchased a gas stove and a sink. As we needed electricity we also purchased a power generator and a few additional tools.
Then everything got loaded up in the back of the truck and we went to the farm to pick a nice spot for our temporary base camp.

After a little while we had a kitchen set up in the shade under an oak tree.

Lunch was delicious. It’s always amazing how different food tastes when prepared and eaten outside.

About me
Hello! My name is Stephan Schwab.
I build and rescue software, and I write fiction about the human side of how it gets made. Here you’ll find my stories and novelas, notes on craft, and field notes from a life lived across several worlds.
Working with software teams is what I do professionally — see how on caimito.net. You can also read about my experience since 1986.
