Last year I wrote 12 notes posts, which is better than the 2 posts I wrote in 2023 when I tried this trend. I’m hoping to do better this year, but we’ll see how it goes.

This past week as been composed of resting and chilling with my partner. We started an overdue rewatch of Schitt’s Creek, finally watched the first episode of Pluribus and cooked a lot of good food. The past few years have not ended well for us. It became almost a sad tradition to have to travel back to France at the last minute because of a family emergency of some kind. This year was quiet which we really appreciated.

This year I’ve signed up to run the BMO marathon in Vancouver. A friend planted the seed in my head last year and I toyed with the idea for a few months before finally signing up. I’ve been running for long enough that I know I can run a decent half-marathon without training too extensively, so I wanted to challenge myself and see if I could commit to a more demanding schedule. I didn’t set any goals besides training properly and hopefully finishing the race. During the past couple of weeks, I’ve been slowly ramping up, running longer distances and counting the dogs I see. I’m supposed to run 19km on Saturday, so that should be interesting. I’m excited to meet weekly with my running buddies every Saturday morning for the next 5 months.

I finally took the time to look into the issue preventing me from using Bambu Studio 2 and I’ve been printing a lot of different objects, from stackable boxes to sort LEGO or puzzle pieces, to a lithophane made for a friend. I took a fun quote from their child and made it into a tiny box that lights up, which was pretty fun.

I was fairly excited to go back to work today. We’ve released Spilled! and announced Go Ape Ship! last year (as you can see here), so things have been moving fast.

I’m planning on sharing links of stuff I’ve enjoyed in the past week but I didn’t prepare them ahead of time and it’s already Monday. For this week, I just want to give a shoutout to this transcript of a talk about the CI infrastructure for Servo. I was a little thrown off by the format at first but I quickly got into it and couldn’t put it down. Truly fascinating stuff.
