Falko#weeklyreview 23/2026
Last week was again very busy work wise. Current project involves multiple meetings per day. But that’s not the only project I’m involved in. So hard to find time to actually work on stuff and process all the meetings.
AI tools at least help summarise the meeting transcripts and extract action items from them. This is a bit of an advantage over earlier days when you might have had a meeting recording that no-one ever listens to again. Now we get at least half-decent meeting summaries and action items extracted. But still no time to actually follow up on these 😉
Got a replacement battery for the shiny HP Spectre Laptop I recently got from Slamr/Fi. Swap out was easy and now the thingy lasts between 2-4 hours depending on the workload. I love this device. It’s almost like a new MacBook Air. Small, sleek, fast and with stamina. Given it’s about 10 year old hardware I’m amazed.
LiteLLM
started to play around with LiteLLM as an AI and MCP gateway. Part of my job fortunately but also out of curiosity. Idea is to hide all the various LLM providers behind a central gateway/proxy and control access and budgets centrally.
In my case the LLM providers are Ollama on my Laptop and desktop server as well as my OpenAI subscription. I’ve also registered my Paperless MCP server at the gateway so tools can use it via HTTPS.
My use case of n8n here is, that a new Paperless NGX document triggers an n8n workflow. This workflow will summarise the document content and populate this into and custom field of the Paperless document. Paperless NGX doesn’t do this out of the box yet. Also write myself a few SKILLs to analyse and optimise Paperless documents with tools like OpenCode or Claude using my MCP.
Flowers
Near Templin is a field which is planted with poppy seeds this year. Last week that was in full bloom and it’s obviously very beautiful. Many cars stopped for the people to get out take pictures…. so did I 🙂
Reading
Making good progress on my current book “Gödel, Escher, Bach” and quite like it. So much so that I also got a German copy of the book for my kids. I’m reading a crappy version from Apple Books. But at least that way I can read in the gym while being on the machines.
Konnichiwa
And we’ve finally been able to check out the Japanese style restaurant “TOWA” in Eberswalde. Very lovely place and delicious food. We’ll be back
