weeknote #250719 We decided to stay at home. We had flights booked, and then it just didn't feel right to travel (again), to be in action (again), we just felt we want to stop. Especially since there is some work still left to do and we'd be working on it on holidays, so it was really a better decision to split time...

Luglio sorprendentemente ricco per essere stato così mortalmente torrido e incasinato...

I moved to Hastings a year ago today, so it seems like a good time to look back on how it's gone so far. I haven’t made as much artwork in this first year in Hastings compared to previous years. Some of that is due to the process of moving and settling in during the first few months, and some is due to not having...

De cuando en cuando ocurre que se genera un debate sobre temas de licencias de software libre y open source. En este tipo de debates siempre suelen haber acérrimos defensores del software libre que defienden la GPL y la AGPL a ultranza y acérrimos detractores del software libre y, más concretamente, de Richard...

Hace unos años me aficioné a las estilográficas. Y una de las razones por las que me gustaba escribir un diario en papel (aunque lleve un tiempo con mis dudas sobre ello) era, particularmente, tener una excusa para escribir en un papel bueno utilizando una estilográfica y una tinta bonita. Y con el paso de los años...

Things I read this week

MX and antiX are both Linux variants that offer some hope to people who want to keep their old-ish computers running. Both tip-toe around the systemd rabbit hole, but in different ways. But which is better?

The Challenge That Is Getting Away From Me. Lol. I stumbled into this whole thing through some RSS rabbit hole that led me to blogroll.org, then to forking mad’s completed challenge, and eventually to Lou Plummer’s 50 Ideas for Blog Posts. The prompts looked fun, the challenge seemed doable, and I figured, “Why not...

This website I redesigned my website!!! here's what it looks like. if you're reading this via rss, you should go look at it. In some ways it’s not that different—the overall layout is the same, with centered content and all. The fonts and colours are new. I’m excited to look at something new though, because I was...

July 19, 2025 There's a tech podcast that I listen to (not naming names) with three hosts. One of them is a smug, know-it-all asshole who makes the show almost unbearable at times. So why do I keep listening? Well, because the other two are great, and I often learn something. I've deleted the podcast from my feed...

Today I have another small update in the scheme of things, but it's a step forward. My sci-fi section now has new microfiction, that better reflects my current mood and style. Maybe it will even inspire some new stories.

In the last three days, in addition to my regular day job, I’ve recorded 10 videos for my YouTube channel. Some of them I’m very happy with. There’s a certain feeling you get when you’ve done things you had to do. But there’s a better feeling you get when you do things because you want to do them. For a while now,...

And that's it. The website design is back to normal, the OCC 2025 is over. How was it? I would say I achieved what I set out to do. I wanted to set up a Windows 98 machine and see if I could recreate the feeling of going online in the late 90s. And I feel I was successful in that. I listened to internet radio in...
