As blue as I can get, I can still appreciate the beauty of the mountain skyline around the lake.

Lest we forget
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
May light eternal shine upon them, O Lord, with Thy saints forever, for Thou art kind.
Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
[recipe] Torta de laranja (Portuguese orange cake)
I had this cake when I was in Lisbon for Web Summit. I just had to make it.
500g sugar
50g corn flour
15g baking powder
2 large oranges (zest and juice)
12 eggs
Preparation:
Add the solid ingredients – sugar, flour and baking powder – and mix well.
Add the zest and juice of the oranges and stir.
Finally, add the eggs and beat well.
Grease a rectangular baking pan and line with greaseproof paper. Pour mix in.
Cook in a bain-marie in a preheated oven at 220C/200C fan oven for 20-25 minutes until well set.
Sprinkle sugar on a clean tea towel. Flip cake onto the tea towel, remove the paper lining and roll while still warm.
Almost home
This is why I need adult supervision
At the Portuguese equivalent of Tesco. There was a giant rainbow unicorn as well, but I didn’t have enough arms.

Some of the talks are a bit bleak
A few days before the centennial anniversary of the Armistice, Brad Smith from Microsoft is calling for a digital Geneva convention to protect the civilians in times of cyber war, and that we’re not learning the lessons of the previous world wars.
A few talks before that, Garry Kasparov was saying that AI will widen the wealth gap, as blue collar and white collar jobs will become more and more automated, the education system is broken, there is no plan to address this and there is no leadership to even begin to formulate a plan so, in essence, everyone that is fucked (unless you’re rich).
Someone has a funny sense of humour
The UK and EU pavilions are neighbours at WebSummit.
Organisation, we haz it.
All 4 of us work for in same building, in the same institute, for the same company. Go figure.
Hold on to your seat
It’s going to be a wild ride
As a side note, the police were doing bag checks. Bobble got a funny look and made the people being me laugh.
