These three essays orbit Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener” from successive distances. The first attacks the narrator, the second attacks the attack, the third removes the hope of a clean vantage point. Each piece eats the previous...
Just got a note in my work inbox: There's a spread of Chick-fil-A in the break room, courtesy of the franchise that just opened its doors next to our district admin building. I cannot eat Chick-fil-A. I have celiac disease, and those...
January 2026. Radcliffe on Trent. When I came to Radcliffe to tick the micropub (temporarily closed so no return) in 2019 I’d asked a local; “What about the other pubs in Radcliffe ?” I asked. “Any good ?” “Nah. Too cliquey”. Well,...
I don't know how to properly raise this, but I've gotten at least 100 emails from various Zendesk customers (no discernible pattern, everything from Soundcloud to GitLab Support to the Furbo Pet Camera). Is Zendesk being hacked? I'll...
Books of January 2026 I started this year with re-reading "Pattern Recognition". This is the first book that I re-read within a year. Because I really enjoyed this book, I followed it with the other two books of the Blue Ant trilogy. Non...
CHECK OUT MY LINK LOG I couldn't write yesterday, which was horrible. The problem was that over the last two days, I've been trying to fix an issue with the blog's codebase. Well, it wasn't so much an issue as it was an attempt to...

I often say that I hate GenAI, but I am not sincere when I do that. It's not that I, as a developer, want to write each if or case statement; I couldn't care less about this. While I'd love to be able to write in machine code, I work in...

日常#11 香港赤柱、胶片 🎵 追太阳 - 施鑫文月 上周去香港打算买镜头，但很可惜都没货，倒是又买了些拍立得相纸和一次性胶片机，剩下的时间就去 赤柱 逛了逛。 从金钟站的 C1 口出来后，就会看到去往赤柱的公交站牌，从这里乘坐 6X 双层巴士，一路坐到赤柱广场就到了，车程四十分钟左右。建议坐在双层巴士的上层靠右的座位，沿途可以看到海，戴上耳机，挑选一张喜欢的专辑，会是一段蛮悠闲的时光，前提是不晕车(つω`｡)。...

In days of old, link shortening tools were all the range. They addressed a specific issue with early social media services; especially Twitter, which had a character limit of 140 (remember those days). If you included a long link to a...

Shortly after I began the year with some blessings, a friend sent me Lucille Clifton’s spare, splendid poem “blessing the boats.” We had met at a poetry workshop and shared a resolution to write more poetry in the coming year, so we...
The final book in Cooper's epic The Dark is Rising Sequence ties all of the loose ends up neatly in a quite satisfying way that doesn't feel forced. There's a lovely twist towards the end that plucks a heartstring or two but I won't...

A buddy in infosec recently asked a question that hits the painful truth about containers: they feel disposable right up until you need evidence. “What logs need to be collected and what’s the best way to snapshot for further digging?”...
Trying to determine what it is that prevents a person, and by that I mean me, from having a series of good days back-to-back has been taking up more of my attention than usual as of late. I believe for myself it has a lot to do with...
