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:
-
Yesterday I thought again quite a bit about:
-
[[light]]
- led me to read [[photon]] in Wikipedia, very nice article!
- [[momentum]]
- [[entropy]]
- Quiz: what do momentum and entropy have in common?
-
[[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.
