“The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours.” Alan Bennett, The History Boys

“What better occupation, really, than to spend the evening at the fireside with a book, with the wind beating on the windows and the lamp burning bright...Haven't you ever happened to come across in a book some vague notion that you've had, some obscure idea that returns from afar and that seems to express completely your most subtle feelings?” Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.” Carl Sagan, Cosmos

“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.” F. Scott Fitzgerald

one of my favorite ideas, said 4 ways

A quote sits atop a background image of a panther and leopard looking up from a lake surrounded by greenery and reads, “The more playful you are about it, the easier it all is.”

A quote by James Clear that reads, "Remain playful as your responsibilities increase. It's easy to become serious when people and results depend on you, but nearly everyone's performance improves when they proceed lightly through the world."

An illustration from the Palestine Humanitarian Response Center featuring three children in colourful clothes, two of them holding drawings (one of a dove and one of a house), and the child in the middle holding a sign that says "DONATE".

A big thank you to everyone who purchased my Dove & Olive Branch phone wallpaper fundraising set lately! 🕊️ I rounded up the total and donated 20€ to the PHRC thanks to you, and this was my third donation since I first put it online. 🤍

Doing SQL work with LLM aids as a SQL addict It could be better, it could be worse

This week on Counting Stuff, I write more SQL than most and found that LLMs get in my way in some cases, and are useful tools in others, and it depends a lot on application and whether I have energy to feed it context #dataBS

made my first visit to the miniso near me on south side - fun! got a 0.5 gel butterbear pen 🧸

Infographic titled '5 steps for the perfect cold calling script' with black numbered boxes (1-5) and corresponding descriptions: 1. Determine your goal - Decide the conversion you want at the end of the call; 2. Build a prospect list - Pick prospects that would be interested in your product; 3. Introduce yourself - Introduce yourself quickly and professionally; 4. Identify their pain points - Ask about their challenges and define a solution; 5. Ask for the sale - Try to book an appointment to do a demo or tell them more about your product. Each step has a simple black icon on the right side.

Stay on task, dudes
