Went shopping for 🏠 improvement. Some paint and primer, degreaser, lacquer roller and brush, tape, system to catch the mail from mashing cat teeth. Not much, still 160 euros 😣

I thought my body deserved an interval training for my 🏃 It’s an acquired taste, I believe. I ran 200 m pretty hard, eased down 200 m, and did that five times. I needed 4:56 min for that fast-paced kilometer.

Someone in my hometown using a Mac (or a hacked Mac, overtaken by a criminal elsewhere), guessed my Google password, and the next day got into my iCloud account. I changed my passwords and turned on two step verification. I hope this is enough.

I wonder if 📚 lovers are prepared to goes as far as Ray Bradburry’s Fahrenheit 451, in which book lovers can recite their favorite book. Obviously, George Orwell’s 1984 would countermand this, by Newspeak, removing the words from those books out of the language’s vocabulary.

My cats have been quite behaved today, despite I had to catch them earlier than usual, because renovation workers needed access to my house. Maahir was easy enough, but Aziz is always suspicious when things go out of the ordinary. I had to mix 🐱 diplomacy and human determination.

The roof workers are done for today. They left a mess from removing the cantilever window. They’ll clean up as soon as they’re done, which can be in a few days. So I cleaned it up a bit, so my cats won’t hurt themselves on sharp wood nor rusty nails, or roll in the dirt. 🏠

Renovation 🏠 Tiles on back roof removed, including the cantilever window. It’s a mess inside, so it’s good the workers protected my carpet with plastic canvas.

🏃 with 23℃ in the shade was a challenge, so I did, again, 🏃🚶🏼🏃 9 km (900 m : 100 m). It was very traffic-heavy with commuters, who either aren’t allowed, can’t, or don’t want to work from home. Luckily, where I crossed the road motorists must let non-motorists go first.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and nice to be outside, though it was more crowded than usual (10 people instead of 1).
Ah well, I did an easy 🏃 🚶🏼 🏃 of 9 km (900 m:100 m), followed by 1 km fast.

Question to the community…
A responsible and accountable person doesn’t measure their wealth in Snickers bars. So what budgeting solutions do you recommend for someone who has no clue about (nor experience with) double-entry bookkeeping? 🏠

I made a very basic and working 1-pass cross-assembler in Pythonista. It was more of a proof of concept, to help me understand the book I’m reading (Assemblers and Loaders) 👨💻
PS Notice it’s still big-endian, while it should be little-endian. 😬

Today’s 🏃 was easy run-walk-run. It was raining slightly, but still warm, which made the heat worse.
For those interested, I ran 8,1 km in 55:46 min (6:53 min/km). Considering the circumstances, not bad. For more deets, see my Garmin page.

I wondered about how to build (in Python) a linked list of tagged items, and how to print its tagged items. Each item has three containers: a link to the next same-tagged item (-1 if it’s the last item with that tag), a tag and a value. Here’s my solution. 👨💻

Today’s 🏃 was an easy walk-run-walk (800 m 🏃 200 m🚶🏼) of 9 km. Ran 7.2 km in 48:20 min (6:43 min/km), for those wanting deets.

Learning about iOS’s sandbox limitations. Pythonista has full access to its own private folders (on device and/or iCloud). You can edit external files, even run Python scripts, but iOS gives scripts no access to files outside mentioned private folders, unless files are shared to it. 👨💻

To bring variety in my 🏃 training, today I did an interval training. It was hot, 28℃ (82℉) in the shade, me in the sun. Still, well-hydrated, it was doable.
In case anyone wants to know, 5 times 200 m, with my heart rate above my LT heart rate, or 5:15 min/km on average.
