Number Nine. Number Nine. Number Nine. There were plans for this month. Multiple different versions of plans. Probably around nine.

So, what was supposed to happen? New York was on the list. As was Vienna again. I also had hoped to release a software I’ve been quietly working on for almost a year now. None of that happened.

Nevertheless, it was a busy month.

Continuing my quest to finish things, I set up more Mail filters, forced myself to not start more books and Netflix series and went through my YouTube subscriptions. There’s still a bunch I could unsubscribe because they are not my area of interest anymore but didn’t for nostalgic reasons. They don’t upload much anyway so that’s okay.

I did write out a bit more design documentation for Fountain and continued writing down my ideas for the future of vuex-json-api. Depending on how things go, at least one of these pieces might see the light of day in the coming weeks. My general aim is to be more public about what I’m working on. Most of what I do ends up being open source anyway, but historically, I have not been very good at communicating my ideas before they get committed to code and pushed.

While none of the longer-term travel plans materialized, I did end up spending one elongated weekend in Dresden with a good friend. We had our days filled with as many museums and cultural experiences as we could but still enough time left to see the Elbe flood slowly falling and revealing more and more of that devastating bridge accident again.

The trip back to Berlin included a lunch stop in Lübbenau. It was way too warm for the end of September. We decided there to come back to the Spreewald next year and do a canoeing trip. That’ll be fun!
