Mar 16 - Mar 22

Outdoor temperature went down a little bit so there was no bike pleasures for me this week. However I've managed to get 2 good 5 km runs at least. Spring is in its full (even though winter officially ends just by the end of the week), birches started to bloom and I'm managing my allergy. Maybe thanks to colder temperature its milder than last year.

Magnolia nearby is blooming and I felt pity for being able to see it just once really. Soon its petals will fall off.

Last week I've started my kombucha-project at last and this week I was finishing it. First fermentation should stop between PH 2.5 and 3.5.

Second fermentation took just a 2 days and I was satisfied with final result. I've utilized glass bottles that Veronika gathered over time so It gave some grandiosity to whole project. Taste is good.

On Saturday we went to Museum of Contemporary Art at Novi Zagreb just to make sure we still dislike contemporary are. I'd say that situation got even worse and we both borderline hate it.

Cake after and a walk was good though.

Work-wise - First I got a message that there will be no pay-rise this year for contractors, but later this week I got an affirmation that we'll get small pay-rise to cover inflation. I was kinda relying on small one so getting this messages in this specific order had a positive final effect and was a nice surprise. Otherwise I'm trying to utilize AI more and more and plan to do some exploration next week since I was postponing this whole AI trend waiting for a dust to settle down. It still is dusty but it looks like things are getting shape.

Also I started to play with Ubuntu dual-boot. It was bit tricky to install and there were few moments when I though I just fucked up my computer, but I've managed to get out of it without harm.

Sport

• 2x 5 km run (pace ~5.5)

Horizons

• Start with Copilot CLI (expand AI usage)
• Progress Ubuntu work setup
• Start second Kombucha batch
• Arrange doctors appointment in Prague

Notice

• There are more magnolias in the area. All of them are beautiful. Some are darker, some are brighter. Interestingly I've never noticed them in Slovakia (and I was observing nature as a kid quite lot). Thats the reason why I still find them bit exotic. Yet I saw few in Prague so I must have been wrong with my assumption.
