Summer has come and gone—or has it?

Queen's Log #010 Originally sent as a newsletter

Ahoy Shipmate,

Summer has come and gone—or has it? We are experiencing some kind of heat wave here in Oslo, with temperatures higher than those of a typical Norwegian summer.

As you might know, my mother (the formidable CTO for hire) has early-onset Alzheimer’s. She’s only 63 and lived next door to us until June! It’s taken me relaxing this summer to realize how tired I actually am from caretaking, so you’ll probably see me showing up inconsistently here for a while…

However, streaming is one of my energy sources, so we’re back tomorrow 🥳

Crew Highlights

🌱 My focus for the next months is Lovely Everyday Life, and I talked about that in the last episode of Slow&Steady 🎧

💥 Ola is working on moving the POW! marketing pages from Gatsby to Astro; you can see where he’s at on https://pow-site-astro.netlify.app/

🎙️ All the Data in the Wild episodes are released: Navigating Geodata with Mathias Hansen, Demystifying DNS with Anthony Eden, Simplifying Developers’ Lives with Ivar Østhus and The What, Why, & How of Data Modeling with Dan Singerman.

💪 Secured the last young-folks-with-dementia care home spot (out of 32) in Oslo for my mother. At Furuset Hageby.

🏕️ We spent a weekend on an island in the Oslo fjord with the Pirate Princess’ class, highly recommend!

📺 Ola’s has kept up with the short’s production; take a look at coffee & co-working or degu cage building.

From the archives

JavaZone was on this week, and it made me think back to the inaugural end-to-end encryption talk there in 2019.

See a full recap of the day on Instagram.

Doodle time 🎨

All the best,
Queen Raae
