Almost finished my upcoming Percona University presentation (TiDB 101).

I may add another diagram or two but, other than that, it's mostly done. No need to rehearse much other than one round to estimate timing, since I'm doing a alot of TiDB-related work recently:

• Deploying it to EKS several times
• Moving data from Aurora MySQL to it several times

Improving a DBRE Slack bot.

Looking at ways to visualize different parts of an LLM state depending on the input prompt.

Several one-off DAW plugins to use from Renoise and Logic Pro.

A theremin-like midi controller using Arduino.

Helping my son with some agent-drive (Google AI Studio) web app. They started playing with app generators for a project and, soon enough, things got out of control and I have something new to deploy.

Helping my daughter build an online portfolio for her illustrations.
