Problem statement: Make Google’s Gemini read CLAUDE.md and/or AGENTS.md. By default, it reads only GEMINI.md. Update ~/.gemini/settings.json to either: { "contextFileName": "AGENTS.md" } or { "contextFileName": "CLAUDE.md" } My config: { "contextFileName": "CLAUDE.md", "security": { "auth": { "selectedType":...
I was blessed to be able to get a used HP laptop in practically new condition with decent specs for free, so I installed Linux on it and I'm going to try using it as my primary personal computer for at least the rest of 2025 – about six weeks. Specs Model: HP Laptop 14-dq2053cl Released: November 2021 CPU: Intel...
This year, I had the honor of being one of three grantees of Processing Foundation’s pr05 (pronounced “pros”) program. My task was to develop a new Processing mode that allows to create and run p5.js sketches inside the Processing Development Environment (PDE). That included editor support (syntax highlighting,...
Visto che l'altro post di oggi ha generato un thread tanto ciccioso e interessante che io per primo non mi ci raccapezzo più (il che già ci porta in argomento 👀) ecco il secondo tempo! Partiamo dall'osservazione di BB che mi ha dato lo spunto per scrivere quanto segue
Ball x Pit is the first game I have tried ( and succeeded! ) to get all the achievements for in about a decade. I have let the game marinate for a good while since I "finished" it to come up with why I enjoyed this game so much. I think ( similar to Dave the Diver ) I liked it because of the combination of games...
This is the novel I started reading the Hainish Cycle for. Often said to be on the greatest ever, a gem, a masterpiece. So far, the ride has been a bit disappointing, but The Left Hand of Darkness lives to the hype. Heck! It's often considered to be the other novel about inhabitants of a transsexual planet (the...
The costs and benefits of this somewhat controversial procedure.
I got an Arduino kit 2025-11-18 I got an Arduino kit for my birthday! I hope to become more knowledgeable with electronics and low-level programming.
November was a bit of a struggle, personally and drama-wise. Personally, I ended up dealing with a medical issue. Drama-wise, I’m still recovering from the masterpiece that was Fated Hearts, and finding a drama to fill that void has been tougher than expected. But I did attempt a few shows, as you can see below!...

Install start time: 15:30 UTC Completed install: 15:40 UTC Then, I spent the next couple of hours re-learning Debian. I have really missed Debian, as it has been a long, long while. The immediate difference when compared to Ubuntu server is that Debian is indeed a true, minimum server install. Whilst the net...
Say you want to send a list of consumer records to another microservice over network via JSON. There are three concepts at play in this process: A logical value, which is how we humans treat the data. In this example, this would be “a list of consumer records”. This description does not specify how it’s represented...
Apparently it's been 1 week and five days since my last post. Weirdly, it feels like forever ago. A lot of things happened these past few days. A lot of work trips, conferences, social activities and many, many more. I miss blogging and updating my Listography almost daily, but I've been too drained to even think...
Recently I wrote about how I love to be spontaneous, and I stand-by that methodology. However, I also like a good bit of planning if I have the opportunity. But perhaps, this time, I took it too far? It's all in the listI am away from home for almost two weeks on business. It took a bit of planning, both work and...
Our little party of travelers awakened the next morning refreshed and full of hope, and Dorothy breakfasted like a princess off peaches and plums from the trees beside the river. Behind them was the dark forest they had passed safely through, although they had suffered many discouragements; but before them was a...
These might be my last photos from Washington this year. This was a cool sunset over the bay, but I like the contrast that came out when converted to black and white. Even though I know the sun and sky were bright red, I like that the differences in darkness and textures is highlighted without the color. This also...
It's Week 4 of Nonfiction November and I am offering up a few words and photographs of letterpress and print artist Amos Paul Kennedy, Jr.'s excellent book "Citizen Printer". #NonfictionNovember #bannedbooks #bookstodon #typography #letterpress
If you do Linux systems programming, you will have likely pored over man pages, either on the command line or, my personal preference, using the excellent man7.org or linux.die.net. I’ve always seen the numbers in sleep(3) and read(2) and idly wondered what they meant, but never actually bothered to look them up....
I recently wrote about ordering Copper Moon’s “White Christmas Blend” coffee beans. In my first article (I noted the arrival of the beans in a second article and can now confirm it is good), I noted that I usually buy my coffee beans at D’Amico in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (which has its own White Christmas blend)....
Irgendwann hat das Algorithmus von YouTube gedacht, ich müsse Manhunt Bangkok schauen. Ein großes Räuber-und-Gendarm-Spiel für “Influencer” in Bangkok. Irgendwie sind diese Art von YouTube-Serien wie 7 vs. Wild an mir vorbeigegangen und ganz ehrlich: wäre es eine andere Stadt hätte ich vermutlich auch nicht...
Apple iPod generation 2 webpage, Aug-Sep 2002; via Wayback Machine. After the iPod’s launch in October 2001 — “1,000 songs in your pocket" — Apple sold 125,000 units of the new device by the end of the year. In March 2002, Apple introduced a version with 10GB of storage (approximately 2,000 songs). But it wasn’t...
This past week wasn’t too bad. Work was steady and not too hectic, which is always a nice thing. This keeps my stress and anxiety at a manageable level. Personally, things were pretty good too. I choose to relax and focus on me and my family. I took a break from the couple of personal projects I have going on to...
November 2025. Sissinghurst. Kent. Coming to the end of our year of middle-aged National Trust membership now, but still time for a few late ticks from our temporary South-Eastern base in Rye before we ignore the requests to renew for ’26. Actually, has anyone ever completed a National Trust Handbook in a single...

November 17th 1984 is the canonical birthdate of Lynn Guadalupe Baxter, one of the main characters of Full Circle (2006), UnCONventional (2009-2019), and Peregrine Lake (2024-current). That makes today her official 41st birthday. So, uh, happy birthday to a fake person who mostly just lives in my head I guess? Out...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Sat 11/15/25 - Porygon I will always have a soft spot for Porygon. This creature was wronged by history, taking the blame for something that was not its fault. If you're unfamiliar with pokemon deep lore (I wouldn't blame you lmao), perhaps you've...

I published three articles between November 9 and 14, 2025. All three articles were published last week in part because of things I published (or did not publish) on the same day in prior years. November 9: Investigating John Salley’s Return to DetroitI had originally planned to publish this article on November 10....
my friends and i decided to write a collaborative blogpost on our favourite music and honestly this whole thing is an excuse to gush about our favourite songs, albums, artists or genres. i linked everyone's blogs so you can check their writings out and you really should because they are awesome. mono (me)i think the...
I'm spending a few days in Kansas, helping my brother on our family Christmas tree farm. The work is physically challenging (dragging, lifting, netting, stacking, and loading Christmas trees), but I finish the day "good tired." Not the same tiredness that comes from stress, busyness, and anxiety. Here are a few...
In a philosophy seminar—“my favorite class I’ve taken so far,” she said—Gwen used AI to write almost all her essays just to avoid late submissions. That’s “Gwen”, a student at Yale, interviewed for an article by Alex Moore in The New Journal about how students and professors at Yale are grappling with the use of AI....
Dorothy L. Sayers had written ”Kings in Judaea,” the first play of a series she had been asked to write for the BBC Children’s Service, in the autumn of 1940, the project fell apart when Sayers refused to make changes demanded of her by the Children’s Service staff. But the Rev. James Welch, the BBC’s director of...
One thing I always tell people at work (apart from "it depends") is “the closer you get to launch, the less you know”. This is becoming very apparent at work this week as we start to spec a new product for a client. Unpicking everything that was demonstrated in the pitch and writing requirements, and assumptions —...
I’m going to start sharing some of the music I’m listening to. I’ve finally moved away from streaming music services and I’ve found it very nice to listen to my own music for once. I talked a few days ago about albums vs playlists, but I’ve actually found myself listening to a few albums. It’s been very nice. Leave...
Yesterday I visited, with my Derbyshire cousin, the National Holocaust Centre and Museum. You can be forgiven if you've never heard of it – neither had I – as it is not widely publicised, and it is located in what could with some justice be called the middle of nowhere. To be precise, it is deep in rural...
In October, I reported two security issues to Okta’s auth0/nextjs-auth0 project, here and here. The latter bug, an oauth parameter injection, allows for a range of types of abuse, like scoping tokens for unintended services, setting redirect_uri and scope to arbitrary values to leak tokens, and so on. The patch was...
