We are at S03E08 in a rewatch and it holds up great. S2 is a masterpiece especially. There are some very special episodes in your very near future.

Spent $30 to get a new battery for my 2018 thinkpad. Installing it took 5 seconds and no tools and was hot swap, because thinkpad. Turns out it was a doubly good idea because upon removal I noticed the old one had begun the spicy pillow phase.

Book cover of "Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition". It has a similar wild boar on the cover as the first edition, but it uses O'Reilly's new cover design, and the boar is now slightly colourised.

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. πŸ˜…
