Swiss Rolling Stock in Ardèche, France

S. Golov | 16.08.2026 | rev2.6 projects-hobbies

Quite by accident I discovered Swiss rolling at the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais or more commonly known as the Train de l'Ardèche during my summer holidays. This is a crude documentation effort of some of the stuff I discovered there.

Watching the Solar Eclipse

S. Golov | 13.08.2026 | rev4.3 science

Yesterday, I observed the solar eclipse of August 12, 2026 from Switzerland. Although it was only a partial eclipse, hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of curious onlookers gathered to witness this beautiful, rare natural phenomenon.

I go off on unrelated tangents to the movie about where the fascination for watching the world end comes from and what the business side of selling tragedy is and has become.


A380 Flight-Sim Progress: Part 2 "Before It Gets Better, It's Getting Worse"

S. Golov | 11.08.2026 | rev1 projects-hobbies

In this installment, I'm reverse engineering how the main throttle, FLAPS, SPEED BRAKE and PARK BRK control surfaces are connected to the FDS-FS1 joystick controller.

Furthermore, I decided to take a look at the pilot chairs again. This time at the cushions and some new labels I found.
