- received processed negatives of a roll from a waterproof disposable camera I used during my vacations in Mexico in november. Suffice to say the result is very deceiving and I didn't even get half of the 36 exposures. Most of the picture were taken in Xcaret park and sadly it was a rainy day si we didn't get enough light.

- mounted flat pedals on my vintage road bike and combined christmas shopping and road riding. The weight of the thick chain I am using as a lock didn't really bothered me in the handful of shoet climbs I took, but could be felt from my back towards the end.
- Acessed the state of the Minox 35 GT
- Found a way to power it taping 4 LR44 batteries together with electrical tape.
- Fixed the shutter following tips other owners
- Timer function still doesn't work. Meh.
- had fun in a bar where a friend of my partner was djing for the first time. He is currently taking classes in music production.

- Received a Minox 35 GT in unknown state. One of the smallest full frame 35mm camera.
- found out one of my colleague doesn't seem to understand what he does most of the time. He also randomly do `git commit -am` without verifying withe a `git status` what he is about to commit. Thanksfully this time I catched it before he put a password in the repo but I am npt sure he truly underdtand the risk. :(
- Received a Philips D8623 ghettoblaster/boombox. How should it be called? As a kid/teenager I used to call it ghettoblaster but most english speakers seem to call it boombox. I thought it was a later word coined with more moderns CD/radio/cassette portable stereos but it boombox word seems to have predated ghettoblaster if I consult wikipedia and dedicated web pages. In catalogs and store at the time we used to read portable radio-cassette...
After a bit of fidling with a plastic tool to open and repair smartphones, I managed to open the battery cover. Since a second test show same difficulty, I left it open while I will wait to buy the Litium battery that should be good for many rolls.
