Woke up with a message on my phone informing me that my childhood friend (and neighbour for the first 20ish years of my life) Michael Fonseca had passed away. Cycled to work today. Really put some energy into it, and realized the max cadence I'm comfortable at on top gear gets me to exactly 33 km/h. So I guess that's my speed limit of sorts! Didn't plan on running (if I did, I'd have taken the motorbike to work) but ended up running 3k anyway. At the end of 3k my legs were already sore - that's a first! Attended a Kotlin meetup after work, the first half of which was about Kotlin Multiplatform (a newish Kotlin based technology that allows multiple native UIs to be built using as much or as little code sharing as desired). Seemed similar to Flutter, which I had first heard of at a meetup a year (or maybe a couple of years?) ago - but they claim it's better, obviously. The second half was about what a couple of newish users of Kotlin liked most about the language. Cycled home around 9pm, cleared up about 300gb of space on the hard disk by deleting more duplicates. This is such a time sink!
