A Hacker News post on Deepnote, who have announced that they are going to be an open source replacement for Jupyyer Notebooks, drew my attention to another alternative that is highly recommended in some comments - Marimo.
Note to self: I should test this out sometime.

"We all learn through the generosity of others, and I think it's important that we find ways to support and enlarge the realm of generosity."
This observation by digital historian, @wragge is so true for all of us, no matter what profession, trade or industry we work or volunteer in.
Tim's work and generosity were instrumental in me gaining the skills I needed to work as a digital historian and more recently as a technical writer. I owe him a lot. He has helped so many people.

After taking a break from job applications I am doing them again. I got terribly stressed by doing job applications a few weeks ago and basically seized up. I was fortunate enough to have a little bit of money coming in through my small client, so decided to give myself a break from job applications.
Turns out that was a good idea. I have started the job hunt again and this afternoon submitted an application after doing a thorough review and update of my CV. I am happier with this new format.
I will put a lot of effort into drumming up business for our new venture and submitting job applications during November. Not so many rjobs are advertised in December and January, so I can put a month of high energy into the job hunt and not feel guilty about needing another job-hunting break in December.
Now, I need to work on my next application.

I had a lovely meetup coffee to start the day with fellow technical writers. Thank you to Swapnil for organising it.
