Intro There are many reasons I’m glad that I’ve born in Adana but a more recent one is that what Europe and this part of Turkey calls heat waves are the regular summer weather in Adana. Which means I’m prepared to deal with this weather both physically and mentally. The number one rule to...

Intro In my hometown, Adana, summers are really hot. Which means most people do the bare minimum during the summer months and just wait for it to be over. That’s why my brain just doesn’t want to accept the fact that I’m having a really busy June — and possibly a busy summer in general — and it...

Intro I was hoping to post a Weekstarter from Brussels last week but hitting my all-time low sleep score according to my Apple Watch and then not being able to sleep again rest of the day made it impossible to write anything. Instead, I’m writing you from Ankara. After staying at home for...

Intro I know missing three weeks in a row is not a good look but things happen and sometimes the best you can do is just let it go and pick it where you left off. On the plus side, the weather is getting much better and I’ve completed the upgrades needed in my office to be able to work without...

Intro One of the risks of having an injury like I had is that you end up overthinking how you ended up with something like this and get angry at yourself for letting it happen. Which is certainly not an healthy thing and not recommended. Greetings from Sangarius. Hope you’re all doing...

Intro About a month ago my on-and-off back pain decided to stay on and forced me to see a doctor. After a month long process (two week wait for MRI, then another two week wait to see the doctor again for results) what I was hoping for a simple and easier to manage muscle issue turned out...

Intro I skipped the last week partly because I’m still dealing with the problem on my back and leg. Hopefully I’ll get some clear answers about it in two days. It’s been a month since our adventure with our health system and even though it’s a bit slow, it’s nice to see my insurance payments to...

Since October 2025 I have been daily blogging at notes.peteashton.com featuring a status update and a bunch of links I feel are worth sharing. A classic web log, in other words. After six months I thought I'd see how the status updates work as a monthly digest, so here it is. Saturday 1 November...
