Stories, software, and a life lived across several worlds
In Permaculture earthworks is an important design tool. The retention of water is a key element. Here in the Mediterranean climate water retention is even more important - it does not rain at all for several months per year. Sooner or later we will have to use some heavy equipment for moving dirt and reshape the landscape.
Besides that… Isn’t it that boys always like toys and the toys grows but not the boy? :-) Well… I’m an older guy now but I can still play with big toys. Allow me to introduce our new to us New Holland backhoe model NH 75.


Here is even a little video of me driving it onto the property:

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.
