Let's then take a look back together, but I'm sure this will be a shorter post than in the previous months. Cherry Blossoms in Utrecht Leidsche Rijn 🍄 Life At the beginning of the month, I attended the first ever AT Protocol meetup in Amsterdam, which took place at the Internet Archive Europe. There was no plan, besides getting a few folks together that are interested in this world. It was nice to meet everyone, and I hope a new meetup gets organized at some point soon. I must confess that seeing all posts come back the last few days about the ATmosphereConf 2026 gave me a bit of FOMO, but not too much. I did consider going, but I would've wanted to plan it further ahead, since I'm sure Chris would also like going to Canada, and it'd be nice to do a little vacation there. Burnt Basque Cheesecake I also organized one more working from Eindhoven day, where I got all my coworkers to come to Eindhoven. We worked at my place, and I booked lunch and dinner at two nice places nearby. It was a blast. On this sort of days, I feel like I work more as a barista than actually working. It's a good variety. Other than that, not much more happened: visited friends, friends visited, baked a basque cheesecake, made a lot of cold brew tea, voted in the Municipal Elections, went to the cinema, normal things. We also bought a 3D printer, but I haven't done much with it (Chris has!). I want to write about that later. Other perhaps interesting updates will follow in the next sections. 💪 Health I've written a bit about swimming earlier today, so you can read that. Spoiler alert: it's going well! When it comes to strength training, I've been increasing the weight slowly. I've gotten to the point where back in January - I think? - I started feeling my wrist a bit, not pain, but tiredness. Now, instead of cutting back the weight, I just decided to go ahead. And I think it's working. I planned an appointment with the physiotherapy anyways. It's all much better than before, but there are still two categories of movements that are painful, especially bending backwards with pressure. Imagine getting out of a swimming pool: I know use my forearms to climb out, but that's a lot of work. Maybe progressive loading exercises will help, but I just want to check with the PT first. 🍿 Entertainment This past month I only watched three movies, all in the cinema: Marty Supreme, Pillion and Joe Speedboot. They were all nice, but I got very annoyed at Marty Supreme. The character was so irritating that I considered leaving the room in the middle. I think the director really managed to build a film where those feelings passed onto the audience. In that sense, it is very good. We did also watch quite a few shows: from the last season of Bridgerton to binging all the seasons of Trying, Derry Girls and Mayfair Witches. We also ended Drops of God and Talamasca: The Secret Order. Well, I guess more happened than I expected, or at least I had to write more than I thought I would. So much so, I extracted the part about swimming into its own post so this one wouldn't get too long! Until next month!"
