Happy Piwi Day! https://empireminecraft.com/threads/piwi-day-2025-year-of-snow-piwi.88440/

I'm a bit late, but https://itsalmo.st/piwi-day-2025-ofri! (not sure why the 'ofri' got added, the link does not exist without the extra letters...)

It's great to have found earplugs that work for me. Nuisance at night has been a way smaller factor since!

I am having quite a busy month, and it had been such a long time since I caught up with EMC that I got signed out! :o

I started my Master's thesis at the Netherlands Forensic Institute a month ago, and am really enjoying it! I have been finding it a challenge not to get lost in the details, though...

Hey, I unlocked a new rank. I got the 12 year trophy last week, but I didn't even check if I had got a new rank, because I figured that if I had someone would've posted on my profile about it. :P

I'm starting my Master's thesis soon! At the moment of writing, my sleep has been a little better again, fortunately.

Merry Christmas 607! 🎄

I've been sleeping poorly for two weeks... and I don't know why! It is exhausting, that's for sure.

I participated in an AI hackathon centred around the Bible, and it was lots of fun! I also got interviewed for an article and the Dutch tv news about it. Both were a bit scary, but I'm really glad I took the opportunities as it was a great experience!

I wish my brain had a Task Manager, where I could check which processes are using the most resources.

The end of an era: I just put up my final Pot of Gold auction! ;) https://empireminecraft.com/threads/auction-1-stack-64-of-unused-pots-of-gold.87847/

Inside Out 2 did not disappoint me! I liked it a lot.

This summer I realised two dreams that I've had for a very long time: going to Denmark again and visiting Miniatur Wunderland. :) What was a bit annoying is that the Danish cottage we were staying at had fleas, but we all survived them. ;)

It is fun to play games with people! (I mean games like Ticket to Ride and Dominion)

I'm considering ending the Pot of Gold tradition... I tend to forget about it anyway, nowadays, and there is very little interest in the auctions. What do you think?

We recoded and migrated our student's association's website, bringing the annual hosting costs down from €200 to €0. :)

Don't forget to join the Piwi Day giveaway if you didn't win before! ;) https://empireminecraft.com/threads/piwi-day-2024-year-of-knitting-piwi.87705

I just realised that between my birthday anniversary (April 28th) and today, I have not a single time thought of preparing for Piwi Day (May 26th). Oops!

I attended a concert staging of Wagner's Die Walküre with five people from my student's association, at a 78% discount because we're young. It was very impressive! I was quite confused that the text was only provided in Dutch and English. :/ But we looked it up online!
