We gave up on car ownership in the Netherlands, car taxes here are insane. But we rarely need a car.
So instead we rely on car-sharing.
According to Greenwheel stats, this has saved us 2114 EUR this year.

I wrote a small POC AI tool, but my implementation sucked.
But destiny brought me a new friend who took over technical implementation.
It's already way better than my first prototype. Soon to be released!

We migrated from GitHub Issues to Fizzy.
Before we had a garbage dump of issues, but not we're ruthlessly debating if we should not do most of them.
That's the discussion I love to have!

I'm at the crossroads.
My family wants another kid and my wife is close to age where having kids will be hard or impossible.
I recently started a business, it's doing fine. But have bigger ambitions.
It doesn't feel that both of these things are compatible.

I grew up in a household without a father or husband figure. And learned by example, how important men are in our society and family.
Please take a moment to appreciate the men around you. Happy men's day to all!

Family - or, more generally, the people who depend on me - is probably the main reason that the self-destructive forces within me stay at bay.

For the next release it would be nice to roll out a couple of more 'tools' for LLM's.
- Token counter
- JSON to TOON converter
Toon is a nice little format, that helps optimize token usage with LLM's.
If anyone wants to take a stab at it - I'll be happy to see PR's.

My son reads comic books at the rate of 4 books a day. That is roughly 40 euro a day.
I'm trying to calculate, which will happen first - I will run out of money or we will run out of comic books to buy?
