Weeklog for Week 26: June 24 to June 30
Progress
This was a stressful week. I had to finish some tasks in one project, before travelling off to a workshop about AI in Berlin. The workshop was very successful and I expect some more work and projects to come out of it -- but also super-stressful. I was still preparing slides until 1 am the night before, in my hotel room.
I also wrote a little script to make it easier for myself to upload files to my fileserver. Very neat!

Books
- The Hike by Lucy Clarke: I don't like it when characters in a book are stupid. This book is about four stupid women who do stupid thingsThey start out with "finding themselves", which is the first stupid thing right away. for stupid reasons that get them into stupid situations, until they finally face real adversity, and then there's one short moment of not-super-stupid, and then a stupid ending. 3/10
