国立情報学研究所〔五〕

Month five of six nine!

Anki was not bad; sport very much insufficient; most importantly though my stay got extended by 3 months. :) Time to take a step back, shake off the oh no I’m leaving in a few weeks mindset and take a deep breath. :3

Anyway, here’s the listy thing:

• general
  • went to a meetup for people interested in i18n/l10n innovations and found myself walking up to a nice reception lady in front of a room with classic music playing and not a single person not wearing a suit in it — until I entered, that is. After reassurance of the event’s host that this is a casual get-together, an immensely butchered self introduction to the group from my side, free Dr. Pepper and some interesting presentations, the following 懇親会 was great though. Exchanged a lot of 名刺 and had good conversations with the folks there
  • had my frist proper VR experience (as in not just a headset) in the form of a planetarium / VR attraction using a Japanese VR system called ABAL
  • watched Stranger Things, ちはやふる -結び- and way too much AoE2 videos on YouTube
  • finally did some geocaching in the area where I’m living currently
• at the institute
  • diving deep into linked data stuff lately (if someone knows how to configure a few arbitrary* inference rules for data stored and accessed through a Fuseki 3.6 instance PLEASE tell me)
    *meaning not just RDFS or OWL statements
  • arranged my workspace as a standing desk (very improvised but it works)

On to the not last month!
