• Back home!
  • After 15 days spent in the US west coast (working) and then Japan (traveling with friends).
  • I slept home in Oerlikon alone as I crashed not so long after arriving due to jet lag; AG will come with Lady Burup later today.
  • I woke up at 6am after only 7 hours of sleep due to jetlag despite only getting five hours yesterday and I decided to just get up and start doing things; I'll try to take a nap later today as needed.
• Non-prioritized list of things I want to take a look at now that come to mind and I wanted to jot down:
  • Cline -- I heard it's a good AI plugin for vscode that is not too opinionated/walled-gardeny (is that a word? maybe it should be)
  • Posty -- something cooked by Oliphant over at the Fediverse which sounds a lot like something I wanted to build/I wanted to see someone build)
  • This talk by Dan Dennett who passed away this year.
  • social.coop activity -- some threads on Mastodon, some on Matrix, some on Loomio surely
• All in all this is supposed to be a free "jetlag recovery day" so I'll just try to enjoy it and also spend time offline.
• I read Alan Watts's Wikipedia page (again? unsure) and I wondered again about his alcoholism and relatively early death at 58.
• I finished The Moon is a Harsh Mistress today, after starting it and reading most of it yesterday during the flights. I liked it quite a bit! In particular the relationship between the protagonist/narrator and Mike/Mycroft, the AI; and how it went straight into the topic of collaborating with AI towards the revolution.
