Season 4 Episode 9 "Ironman Buchannon"

~740km east of Mackay, Queensland, 90km west of Tropical Cyclone Alfred. Sure hope he's safe.

"He is travelling solo on the rowing boat from... [San Diego] Californian... to Brisbane and was battling winds of 80km/h and heavy seas when he called for help, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) said.

A Cairns-based Challenger jet didn’t spot the vessel on Saturday but managed to make contact with Mockus, who said he was tired. "

A quotation from Montaigne

We must learn to suffer whatever we cannot avoid. Our life is composed, like the harmony of the world, of discords as well as of different tones, sweet and harsh, sharp and flat, soft and loud. If a musician liked only some of them, what could he sing? He has got to know how to use all of them and blend them together. So too must we with good and ill, which are of one substance with our life. Without such blending our being cannot be: one category is no less necessary than the other.
 
[Il faut apprendre à souffrir, ce qu’on ne peut eviter. Nostre vie est composee, comme l’harmonie du monde, de choses contraires, aussi de divers tons, doux & aspres, aigus & plats, mols & graves : Le Musicien qui n’en aymeroit que les uns, que voudroit il dire ? Il faut qu’il s’en sçache servir en commun, & les mesler. Et nous aussi, les biens & les maux, qui sont consubstantiels à nostre vie. Nostre estre ne peut sans ce meslange, & y est l’une bande non moins necessaire que l’autre. ]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essay (1587), “Of Experience [De l’Experience], Essays, Book 3, ch. 13 (3.13) (1595) [tr. Screech (1987)]

Sometimes the best part of cycling is being done with the day's ride. Other times, the best part is the scenery, the people you ride with and the physical high. I miss it so much. #cycling #endurance

“You can’t be a manager in a decently-sized company to make it easier for your night owl underlings.”

I refuse to accept this.

I don’t know what you deem ‘decently-sized’, but for the last 20-some years (since we adjusted our hiring contracts back in 2005 after I stopped working as an employee and switched to employer full time) we have tried to do just that: make it easier for our team (our people) to work when they perform best and that suits them and their life to the fullest.

But it is not easy. Customers and suppliers just do not (want to) understand. And if the moment you work is spreaded across the clock is combined with different communication styles and registration of what has been done is also hard, the cost of getting things completed is sometimes very high.

In the end working like this costs a lot of effort of everybody and every time the team changes you have to go through a cycle of ‘redefinition’ of what is considered reasonable and what is acceptable.

I guess that is why many people just ‘accept’ what is deemed ‘normal’ and adjust, at the cost of those who can’t. I will never! #promise

Phew! I did it! I survived 30 waves of a mode called “endurance” in a game called Save the World.

This mode requires lots of design and engineering mastery. And some snacks.

It’s designed to be played with four people. I soloed it and it took me about 2.5 hours.
