Now

Work

• Working on CoachMe v2: iOS portability with iCloud sync, support from macOS 15 and iOS 17 up, and a few surprises, including a deliberate minimalism. Filed under "work," but really it's for the fun of building the app I badly missed.
• Client-side, still the same company work: an ERP migration on one hand, building a culture around cybersecurity management on the other. And AI, in the background everywhere.
• Also just published Standing Watch, a field report: a daily security watch that runs itself, driven by a swarm of local agents.

Reading

• Walden, by Henry David Thoreau. Nearly done. I love its slowness and its call to reconnect, like its author, for real, with nature.
• And a few essays on geostrategy: Europe's place among the great powers, AI research, the ecological transition.

Headphones

Got myself a Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 250-ohm studio headset for the MacBook Pro. Sheer comfort. Plus an iFi GO link 2 Max adapter to plug it into gear that was never meant for it (phone, tablet). Done with Bluetooth and its compression, batteries to recharge, radio waves. Back to wired.

Off-keyboard

My Canadian neighbor and friend is back for a few months, maybe more: we're planning good bike rides and a few drinks. And the holidays are coming, with mountain hikes, as always. When you live in the south, by the sea all year, you need the cool of the peaks and the beauty of the valleys.
