Happy New Year! Somewhat belatedly. An interesting year so far, not personally God forbid, but in the world. The Venezuela business is curious, difficult to fathom whether we're looking at a return to real countries rather then clown world fictitious ones or just the actions of a few loons. There are of course other options, many I'm sure that haven't occurred to me, it's all a little above my pay grade. Personally it's been more AI stuff, some Common Lisp learning and a fair amount of beer. Not enough Kurrentschrift letter-writing as per usual. We'll see how the year goes, kommt Zeit kommt Rat. .
