🏠 Personal

October was a very mixed feelings month. I started at Vigo with the trip back from Geocamp. We had a few friend gatherings but by mid-month we were devastated with a friend's 6 years old kid passing away after a three months fighting leukemia. Just the very same week we had a weekend trip to Lleida were the pretty good weather gave us some chance to visit the city. The rest of the month was pretty quiet and easy.

👨‍💻 Professional

Not much to report on the work side. I mostly finished some work on the company serverless effort (that I still need to document) and other internal stuff.

❤️ Community

Not much community effort to report this month. Maybe worth mentioning that I recorded a quick video about my mapping participation to help on the Morocco Earthquakes that should be posted in the company Instagram reels profile. If you see it let me know because I don't use that social network 🙃.

📚 Reading

This month:

I finished reading Vapor Negre, Barcelona 1911[1], a collection of short stories all around the same characters and location in a fictional steampunk ambient.
I read in a single seating Cuando el Trabajo Mata[2], a graphic novel telling the story of a French vehicle company that was pressured by his work (people, assignments, etc) until he killed himself.
I started Els Planificadors[3], a Korean thriller novel (translated into English, then to Catalan) about an assassin and the personal and work relationships he develops through the years.
