Alright, let’s talk about today. Because today was a marathon, not a sprint. And like any good marathon, I started it with the perfect prep: a solid TWO hours of sleep. That’s right—while some people out there are getting their full eight hours like amateurs, I was out here running on fumes, caffeine, and pure entrepreneurial madness.
Destination: Brussels
Why? Because there was a training/teambuilding/hackathon event calling my name, and obviously, I couldn't resist. So, bright and early (a.k.a., before my brain fully booted up), I found myself heading to a customer site, ready to innovate, collaborate, and—let’s be real—carry the team.
The Hackathon: Where My Brain Cells Went to Work
We dove into some seriously exciting stuff. My team? They worked on my ideas. (Not saying I carried the team, but… well, you do the math.)
What were these genius ideas?
- AI-powered data enrichment & hyper-segmentation – Because customers deserve an ultra-personalized shopping experience. You get an article, you get an article—everybody gets an article, but it’s the one they actually want.
- Blockchain-based supply chain transparency for Bio products – You wanna know if your organic avocado is really organic? Boom. Vechain. Immutable proof. No more sketchy labels. Just blockchain-backed truth.
This is the kind of forward-thinking that separates industry leaders from those who still think AI is just for chatbots.
The Great Spaghetti Tower Experiment
Now, no corporate event is complete without the obligatory team-building challenge, and today’s was a classic:
- 20 spaghetti sticks
- 1 marshmallow (because why not?)
- 1 meter of tape
- 1 meter of rope
Objective? Build the tallest tower with the marshmallow on top. Sounds easy, right? WRONG.
Listen, I had a plan. A good plan. A structurally sound, engineering-backed plan. But democracy happened. And as history has shown us, sometimes democracy leads to… well… let’s just say questionable architecture. Our tower may not have been the tallest, but hey—at least we didn’t glue the marshmallow to the ceiling and call it “thinking outside the box.”
The REAL Highlight: Botlord Has Entered the Chat
While all of this was happening, something even bigger was going down in the background. My Hive-Engine Witness node officially signed and validated its first block. That’s right. Botlord Hive Engine Witness is live.
Now, if you’re not into blockchain, let me translate: My node is now an official player in securing and validating transactions on the Hive Engine blockchain. It took some time to restore the whole HE-blockchain (because, of course, the universe loves to test me), but in the end, we made it.
So, here’s your call to action: Go to https://tribaldex.com/witnesses and vote. Support the movement. Make history. Or, you know, just click a button and be part of something cool.
Final Thoughts
Long day? Absolutely.
Would I do it again? Without hesitation.
Am I going to sleep more than two hours tonight? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
The grind never stops, people. The future is being built—one AI model, one blockchain block, and one structurally questionable spaghetti tower at a time. Let’s go. 🚀

What system do you use to run the node?
Voted, but I guess it is some kind of Workerbee token that I don't seem to have? :)
You are funny,so those that sleep 7 hours are amateur,😄. Get things done bro because at old age, no more running up and down, you chill and sleep well.
Happy weekend

Sleeping 2 hours and getting back to work makes you a workerholic, I use to have those experiences while working as a Press. Happy that the hive engine is now running at least your labor of sleeplessness have paid up. Thanks for your nice work.

Well I did the math and found out that you must have given your team a good idea which they followed...(In other words you carried the team along) Correct me if am wrong. Physical and mental health is very important in all we do.
