iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Sorry for the thinkpiece nobody asked for in my earlier posts. There have been some incredibly kind replies which make me feel it’s worth continuing to post on here. And I would miss the feedback. Learning is the absolute freaking best, so I will see you tomorrow for day 462. Thanks again.

It probably shouldn’t have taken until September 2026 for me to spend more than 30 minutes in Ostrava. Glad this is resolved now.
