Summary #7 for 2025-04-21

Good morning Alex!

Hope you had a good Easter Sunday. Just a quick heads-up as you get into your Monday – it’s Easter Monday today, a public holiday here in the UK!

Here’s a look at things:

• Exercise First! You have a Run planned today. The weather forecast shows rain is likely to start around 2 PM and get heavier into the afternoon. To keep dry, the best times for your run would be before 2 PM today. There’s plenty of daylight until well past 7 PM, so you’re good on that front as long as you beat the rain!
• Work Check: Looks like your Backend stand-up was just before now. Your Frontend stand-up at 11:00 has been Canceled, which probably fits nicely with it being a holiday!
• Joke time: What’s the difference between Tara and a trampoline? You take your shoes off before jumping on a trampoline! (Sorry Tara, couldn’t resist!)

Some bits and bobs from the wider world and tech:

• Sad news from the Vatican: Pope Francis has died, the Vatican camerlengo, announces. This kicks off A centuries-old process of electing a new spiritual leader now begins.
• In tech news: A court declared Mass Collection of Cell Tower Data Without Warrants Unconstitutional. Also, Judge rules Google built illegal ad monopoly.
• On the science front: New research identifies 9 elements in the chemistry of romantic attraction (Positive interaction is key, who knew?!).

Have a cracking Easter Monday!
