My combined total log of hiking and walking for this summer has been now 932 km! So I'm upping my total ledge to ALS research, in honor of Rainer Grimm up to 932 Euro!

Please consider also giving to this underfunded field, if you can afford it.

I'm getting very close to publication of my latest book: The Programming Puzzles Big Book (Fun for ages 7-99)!

leanpub.com/programming_...

This is your last chance to get it for the pre-release price of only $4.99 and help me find any remaining bugs.

This is 400 pages of puzzles!

Message from my wife: if you squat to pee, and are hiking, don't be this person, leaving trash in the woods!! Buy one of these instead (reusable pee cloth)!

She says it's the best $14 she's ever spent and recommends it to everyone.

I finished the Pieterpad over a month ago, but I can still talk about #ALS awareness!

Please consider giving to research for this under funded area!

Check out this actual real usable test case ("test" but it does actually work and could be put in production code AFAICT) of using C++26's reflection with cross-language bindings!

simple!

We finished the Pieterpad today! I logged every lodging to lodging track. (Which sometimes included groceries, food, etc)

558km, 749k steps, 22 days

I'll be donating 558€ to als.net in honor of Rainer.

I've heard from 3 others who will also be donating!

Currently 435km into the Pieterpad! Looks like we'll end up maybe closer to 560km of the expected 505.

This comes down to things like detours for lunch and dinner food and "side quests" to get to the hotel and back to the trail.

Support #als research!

Officially over halfway into the Pieterpad!

286.6km logged so far!

#ALS consider donating to the underfunded field of ALS research.

24.5 km on the Pieterpad yesterday, 21.75 today! 173 € pledged to #ALS research so far.

We had been to the Netherlands many times before this, but seeing lots of new things (and countless km of canal paths :) )
June 2, 2025 at 11:22 PM
35.5 km yesterday, 22.5 km today logged on the Pieterpad! Already at 126.9 of the 500km!!

I'm pledging 1€ per km logged towards #als research. I invite you to join me with your exercise and pledge to help this underfunded area.

Remember, there's a facial hair opening in the C++ community, if anyone is interested.
