Hoi,
What makes me happy is that a public discussion is happening about the
performance and the future performance of the query engine of the Wikidata
query engine. Not only are things in the open but it has triggered
responses from knowledgeable people making it plain that there is room for
future growth.
Oh and Magnus is sprinkling his magic making his software perform better,
taking less of a toll to the update process of the query engine..
Thanks,
GerardM

What’s making me happy is also sad (how can one
separate hapiness from
sadness as you obviously need one to measure the other). My mom is in
hospital, her breath cancer spreaded again with metastasis. Yep, looks bad.
But I discovered a thread which was shared on twitter by francophone
wikipedians by the sixth form poet and we laughed so much... I had to stop
reading the puns as she held her sides telling me it was hurting her.
It was great she could forget the pain for a moment. #metoo
Here is one of his puns :

People found guilty of not using punctuation deserve the longest sentence
possible.
We also appreciated the story of the cemetary. Weird but sweet.

And another thing, in times of great pressure, I take time to make myself
a vegan jogurt, very very slowly. This is how it looks like :
Cos wikimedian geeks need to get involved in some kind of earthly
activities for a change and to balance the sometimes extreme emotions we
experience in our heated debates. I will also at one point when it stops
raining take a book and wander of the Rhone with my kayak to find moments
of peace :
If you come to Geneva and you want a ride, shout (you will probably have
to bring earplugs too if you want a peaceful ride as I am an awful
chatterbox).
That’s all geeks!
Nattes à chat
