A blast from the past: found my Evernote account from early 2010s that I forgot about. The only thing I remember was that the native Windows app was very slow on my PC back then.

Anyway, here's the list of software that I used when reinstalling Microsoft Windows around 2010. I don't remember that the second column was about. CD is clear. "i" probably means that it was installed the last time I used the checklist

European Central Bank has announced a contest for the next design of Euro banknotes. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2025/html/ecb.pr250715~39f757470b.en.html

"two themes proposed for the future
euro banknotes:
- Theme 1: European culture and associated stories and motifs
- Theme 2: Rivers and birds and associated stories and motifs"

Out of curiosity, I looked at the "contest notice". It has the theme 2 as LOT-0001 and theme 1 as LOT-0002.

I've learned about the conic sections in seventh grade, but only today did I pay enough attention to notice a parabola on the wall and an ellipse on the ceiling caused by a literal light cone (not the space-time kind) from a lamp.

Do geometry teachers use lamps like this? I don't think mine did.

Though it's also possible that I just forgot that I noticed it before.

I've made a YouTube playlist playback tracker: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/459412-youtube-playlists-playback-tracker

It remembers which video you've watched last in a playlist, so that you don't have to!

It is useful for podcasts, lectures, let's plays, and any kind of long-form content in playlists.
