You know that feeling when you work 340 days a year, always online, and nothing special happens... And when you decide to go on vacation, everyone decides to call you regarding your work, asking questions about your job, or something work-related stuff... That's exactly what happened to me in the last 3-4 days, of my first few days of vacation... lol... 😂
I didn't even reach my destination, and I already had a phone call from a friend who wanted to launch his new business and was asking me for an opinion... 😃 Also, I can't say that I wasn't glad to see that some people asked about the #HHHLive show yesterday, which means that they miss it... 😍 Along with that, I have a huge list of paperwork to do, which I was procrastinating for months (if not years)... So, all in all, I'm (and will) spending a kind of "work vacation" at the moment... Less online, but "solving" offline stuff...

Enough complaining... Let me share some big news... You probably know that I'm a co-owner of the @Liotes project, and the big news is that we will present our project at this year's #HiveFest 2024!!! I have already bought my plane tickets to Split, Croatia, and I hope that @achim03 will make it to the event too! We will try to make some noise about Liotes, but also about new things that we plan to work on in the future! We know that some of Liotians will be at the event too, and we can't wait to meet you guys in person! Check out the newest post by @hivefest, with the latest addition of speakers, including Liotes guys! :)
But, before #HiveFest, I will try to organize another smaller Hive meetup in Novi Sad, Serbia, on Saturday, August 17th... So, if you are planning to come, please let me know in the comment section... You can find more details in the post from a few days ago... I will publish another update next week with more details and maybe some confirmed participants list... ;)

Being on vacation, or not, today is the first day of the month, and I can't miss the #HivePUD!!! As we on Liotes, encourage others to power up some Hive regularly, I can't be a hypocrite and not do the same! Leading the way is the best way to do it, and I have decided to continue with my 1K power-ups!!!
This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

Powering UP ALL liquid Hive as always:

And the final result is:

Close to 93K at the beginning of the 8th month in a year is a good sign of reaching my yearly goal of 100K Hive Power at the end of 2024!!! That doesn't look as impossible as it was 4-5 years ago!!
Powering up some Hive on #HivePUD is great, but powering up HIVE every single day of the month is another level of commitment... I have failed to do that a couple of times, but last month (July), I did it!!! The official badge is still not ready, but my new HivePUM is in the process of minting... 😃

To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP...
So, what is #HivePUD?
Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is shortened for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It is organized by great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork and is held every 1st day of a month.
Check out the official #HivePUD post for August here...
Thank you for your valuable time,
