  • [[New Years Eve]] was great, [[2025]] started great!
  • [[Yi Jian Mei]] is stuck in my head (in the sense that it comes up spontaneously every day or so) and I don’t mind

  • [[j0lms]]: [[plurality]]
  • [[flancia meet]]
    • was quiet but it still felt good to be ‘back’ :)
  • had coffee with my neighbours, it was great!
  • cleaned the house a bit
  • talked to my mum, I enjoyed it and it was great seeing her
  • started a new notebook (ha), this one is a square with a pixel grid — a gift from the [[nintendo museum]] by [[mpd]]
  • share photos
  • run collect over notebooks and papers, this usually makes me feel better (I have a lot of context all around, putting it back in one place/pile usually helps manage it/consolidate)
  • [[december 2024 adventure]]
  • [[agora writing]]
  • had interesting conversations in the [[fediverse]] about:
    • [[ai]]
    • [[sustainability]]
    • leading to [[ilich]], who I still haven’t read — will try to set up his book in my [[kobo]] to read it tonight/soon
  • I read about [[recursively enumerable]] sets and languages — I remembered these were some of my favorite back when I studied computer science when I was 27 or 28. This led me to read again about complexity classes, hierarchies and then [[diophantine]] sets :)
  • Also had a great time playing with [[Lady Burup]], and we even watched [[3blue1brown]] together! Pictures likely in the Fediverse :)

  • 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.
