  • The Call of the New And Cycling

    Reading Time: 3 minutesThis weekend I cycled 160 kilometres with the Bike Club Switzerland Group via Meetup.com. In the process I find that I appreciate the community more and more. I appreciate that the groups are small, but also that people are like-minded. By like-minded I mean that people are sporty. Today we went for…

  • The Desire to Cycle on Saturday

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteI am in the process of forming a new habit and that habit is to cycle on Saturday mornings. In cycling on Saturday mornings I keep Saturday afternoon free for other things. I can take care of washing clothes and more. It also gives me time to rest and recover before…

  • The Absurdity of Commuting by Car

    Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday I drove to an event in Geneva and I parked at the P&R étoile. I went by car for a simple reason. I wanted the trip home to be fast and efficient. It worked. What wasn’t fast and efficient was the drive into Geneva. I left with at least one and…

  • Playing with AI Agents

    Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday evening I was at a talk about AI. The person had written an AI agent that scrapes news sources for information, and reads reports, and then provides a summary of this information as a report. We often think of AI as a chat where we ask a question, and then get…

  • A Morning Run to the Lake and Back

    Reading Time: 2 minutesThis morning I ran towards the lake. If I had continued going west I could have gone to the Piscine De Colovray, had a swim, and then walked home or taken a publibike, once I was tired enough. In fact I live along the course for the Nyon Triathlon so I could…

  • The Burning Desire to dump Whatsapp

    Reading Time: 4 minutesToday I went for a long hike after going for a long bike ride yesterday. I am pretty tired. I shared three photos that were directly relevant to a group’s activities and they were deleted. I wouldn’t mind, if they were not linked to the community, and to an activity organised by…

  • The Train from Eaux-Vives to Nyon

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteWithin 31-34 minutes you can be in Geneva-Eaux-Vives by the RE33 train. Yesterday I tested it on the way back from Silicon Chalet Event 39 about Infrastructure as Code and Security, a combination for success. The talks were interesting and informative. It’s an opportunity to see people from the Geneva tech…

  • A Ride Towards Fort L’Ecluse

    Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s very easy to fall into a routine. Our routines can revolve around cycling, hiking, work, scuba diving and more. It can also revolve around local walks and more. This weekend I saw the chance to go for an overnight bivouac and I am not tempted. I saw the chance to cycle…

  • An Urban Walk to Silicon Chalet 38 – IA at Infomaniak

    Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday I went to Geneva early. In the process I dropped into the GoSocial Co-working event at Ruby Hotel, before then walking towards the Orthodox church in Geneva. The doors were open so I visited the building. It smelled of incense and someone was cleaning. Co-working There is a GoSocial group on…
