With strong winds forecasted, we spent the weekend cozied up at home—it felt like a mini vacation.

On Saturday, I slept in late after a night of binge-watching TV. Hamer kept whispering in my ear until I finally got up. “This is the first time I’ve seen Dad get up this late,” she said. I lost a bet with X... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/13/224152.html

🍿 I watched Bogota: City of the Lost after a nap in the afternoon on April 13, 2025. It was a bit violent, and I didn’t like it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22507374/

🍿 Hamer, Xiaoyan, and I finished watching When Life Gives You Tangerines at midnight on April 12, 2025. I started watching the show first, Hamer joined me, and Xiaoyan joined us for the last four episodes—she cried a lot that night. I liked the show because it was so touching, and IU played the main role. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26471411/

Last night’s badminton game left me with a twisted ankle, and by morning, it was still sore and uncomfortable to walk on. After dropping Hamer off, I grabbed McDonald’s for breakfast—just had a craving.

Later, I visited the dentist to follow up on a previous check-up. X-rays revealed an old filling that m... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/12/000246.html

Hamer’s been waking up early lately, getting ready calmly and playing on her own before school. After dropping her off today, I grabbed breakfast, ate wontons while waiting for corn, and brought extra food home.

In the morning, I subscribed to CapWords—originally just out of curiosity, but the heartfelt s... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/11/000018.html

I started the day by continuing to listen to the ongoing company meeting—by this point, I had followed it from start to finish, which made me feel somewhat involved in the whole session.

Throughout the day, I explored integrating Ollama with MCP to run local language models. I initially tried Open WebUI’s... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/09/225324.html

I went to bed late last night after an online company meeting, and when I woke up, it was still going. I tuned back in and was struck by how open and confident everyone was, regardless of role.

The rest of the morning was filled with more meetings, but our team meetings felt flat—minimal interaction and l... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/08/221229.html

This morning, Hamer woke up teary-eyed, missing Liuliu deeply. She cried as she got ready but gradually calmed down.

After the dev meeting, I reflected on how to make these sessions more impactful.

In the afternoon, I settled on NMEA playback as the focus for this week’s Earth 230 Tips, which gave me cla... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/07/220501.html

Today, I drove back to Beijing, covering 250 kilometers in 7 hours, bringing my total driving distance over the last two days to 400 kilometers—the longest I’ve ever driven. It was a challenging but rewarding experience, and by the end of the day, I truly felt like a “real driver.”

Today, I drove on the highway for the first time—about 150 kilometers. I started out nervous but gradually found my rhythm, and by the end, I felt proud and accomplished.

In the morning, we visited Huanghua Port and Golden Beach, where the wide river and sandy shores created a relaxing coastal feel. Hamer... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/06/231046.html

We got up at 5 a.m. to head to Huanghua, where Liuliu’s dad drove us to visit her at her grandma’s place. Hamer and Liuliu were clearly thrilled to see each other, though they tried to play it cool. I was unsure about driving back to Beijing alone and hoped Liuliu’s dad could take the car while we returned... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/06/230252.html

Tonight, we attended our first performance at the China National Opera House—a symphony and ballet set to The Yellow River. The music, staging, and dancing were breathtaking, and we left wanting to see it all over again.

Since our e-bike couldn’t fit four, I planned to run home—but Hamer wanted to join. W... puran.blog https://puran.blog/2025/04/06/225734.html
