- Traveling to the US today!
- As I write this I'm typing on my laptop on an American flight from Heathrow to Durham.
- I've been reading and listening to audiobooks:
- I started Flowers for Algernon on the flight from Zürich, it's already quite moving (as expected).
- Then I continued Memories of Hadrian.
- Then I started an Introduction to Systems Thinking by Donella Meadows called Thinking in Systems.
- Yesterday I thought again quite a bit about:
- Waking up:
- It turns out there's going to be a community meetup in Zürich on 2025-04-01!
- Maybe I could check it out. For more, see the email from 2025-03-22.
- I need to do somthing to bring todo, do, next action and such under control :)
- To begin with I think I just need to re-pick one as the 'root' and start going through it and try to keep my actual priorities at the top.
- It's going to be painful (because of the amount of stuff I've amassed! and the fact that even after all this I won't be able to have all my todos there because I have a parallel life at work...) but probably worth it, so maybe I should just get right on with it.
- -> done! I refactored todo a bit, and went through very old todos and actually found them even done. Maybe there's a tune to the chaos I seem to operate in after all, at least some of the time ;)
- I think having an offline wikipedia could be nice. Or a language model that I can run locally, albeit slowly, but hey... that will come :)
- I enjoyed reading The discrete charm of the Turing machine by Greg Egan. This was in Instantiation; previously (in February) I read The Best of Greg Egan, a selection of his short stories, and enjoyed them a lot!
- He's definitely one of my favorite living writers.
- Now I'm giving Binding Chaos a taste, after finding it on my Kobo and also mentioned in my long term todo mentioned above.
- Travel day!
- As I write this I'm on the second plane today, about to tale off from Heathrow towards Raleigh.
- Ladu Burup's day as I leave -- I will miss her! She's in good hands though.
