Still awake. The thing works. Not perfectly but well enough, which out here is the same as perfectly.

I modified the forum software. Three weeks. I broke it four times before I stopped breaking it. Now it runs the calculations locally. No server. No connection required. The whole loop on the device in my hand.

Marta. You are cleaning glass so wealthy people can see the sea. I am soldering components at three in the morning so we can see what is coming before it arrives. We are both doing what is necessary. I don’t know what that means yet.

The photograph above the window is the one from Odessa. Before. You are squinting into the sun and not quite smiling. I look at it when the work gets difficult.

It helps.

Come back safe from the sea.
