Unfortunately, we blindly trusted a Chinese cycling app called #XingZhe, which on two occasions let us astray just "tiny" bit, which was annoying but taught as a valuable lesson.

Instead of flying somewhere I bought a carbon road bike (I promise no #midlifecrisis) and we rented a car to drive to Taihu (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Tai) to give it a spin.
If you live close to #Shanghai #China and like cycling, it's definitely a must do. It was just amazing. Some impressions:

My mind is blown! Thanks to @ozvardal.bsky.social, I can now run MS Word from the comfortable of my #linux operation system.
Check out: github.com/xiagw/winapps
It worked for me but I have to warn you. It's an involved process where you have to carefully follow the instructions.

The difference in recent years is relatively negligible though.

While being in the final stretches of working on a revision, I had enough with fiddling around with each #ggplot in #rstats until it looks good saved.
So, I wrote some custom code & might put everything in a guide if there is interest.
I would love to hear how other deal with this problem.

I've just added a personal trainer function to my python-based heart-rate monitor that I created for my personal use.
While I am far from viewing LLMs & AI etc. through a rosy lens, this is a perfect example to illustrate the strengths of these tools.

Also a thing that happened today is that I gave an interview about my experience of being a post doc in China and Fudan.

Amazing #RegisteredReport led by Sumaiyah Raza from @mrccbu.bsky.social.
We (again) found evidence against a memory benefit of spatial novelty. However, this time we did find a retroactive benefit of rest, which highlights that more work is needed here.

Snippet of code to create flat map figures for surface-based #neuroimaging #fMRI data all inside #Rstats using the amazing ciftiTools package.

Did you ever wanted to see a visualisation how two common brain 🧠 network parcellations (Yeo 7 vs. CAB NP) differ?
Here is a small something I quickly cooked up because I was curious myself.

I am very proud of this one but I didn't think I will get the next achievements.

For #rstats people working on computing environments without GUI, you should check out the package `txtplot`.
E.g. this density plot is pretty useful to get an idea what my data looks like:

I finally had time to do a really cool thing I wanted to for a long time, which is to do a cycle trip to and around #Tiananmen #Beijing.
There are no restrictions at all for cyclists. So in my mind, it's the best way to explore the city on a nice day. Beijing's spring is magnificent.
