Esto solo es un script bash para tener una idea de cuantos lectores RSS se tienen. Introducción Esto es solo un proyecto rápido originado por la curiosidad que me dio el post de Manuel Moreale sobre cuantos le leen por lectores RSS, el...
Cleaning up right-click with userChrome.css In my previous post, I wrote about using Firefox’s about:config to cut the right-click menu from a massive 26 buttons down to just 15, decluttering the commonly used right-click menu. Freshly...
Es Marzo 7 y hoy hace 2 meses que vengo blogueando como un campeón en mi flamante blog que nació por la necesidad de tener un blog. Quería un espacio personal propio, no Blogger, no Medium, no Substack. Algo que me permitiera tener el...
These days, I find myself in a relaxing tedium. I'll take that over being manic or depressed every day. For the first time in a long time, things feel predictable. I finally feel like I have some kind of grasp over myself and my...
rdigest is a small CLI-based tool I made in late 2024. It began as a way to manage my daily reading (online digital consumption) because YouTube's UI was distracting, RSS feed readers and their infinitely-scrolling pages were...
Among many other things, this week I was grateful for: The invention of general anesthesia.1 FaceTiming old friends Dreams Strangers writing in my blog’s guestbook and emailing me.2 The Pitt The thought that almost every problem can be...
I feel like I was taught to rush, while growing up at school there was always to be done: homework, tests, projects, presentations, life was busy. Learning how to move around the world of people was busy for me. It was like I have to...
I've been enjoying writing music using code in Neovim — I recently talked about using Lilypond to write sheet music this way, for example. Another way of writing music with code is Tidal Cycles. This is a set of pattern-sequencing tools...

last edited 4 months, 1 week ago Social media has an attention problem, everyone knows it, and yet the design stays the same. I've been thinking about two small structural changes that might actually help, without dismantling what makes...

Southerly winds are bringing dust from the Sahara over the next few days and a good chance for some nice sunsets/sunrises; with both still at reasonable times of the day (no stupidly early sunrise) it's so much easier to try and...
On March 5th, 404Media published Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester, which generated a lot of discussion both online and in the comments of the article itself. This is a complex case, but I want to state...
Today I finished reading a book I have been meaning to read for a long time called “The Crucible of Doubt” by Terryl Givens and Fiona Givens. This is a book I have heard recommended by several faithful LDS who have struggled doubts and...
Une petite semaine, j’ai l’impression qu’elle est passée super vite ! Au niveau des projets, j’ai fait pas mal de choses : j’ai bloqué les bots Facebook de mon VPS automatiquement avec Iocaine et un petit script cron qui met à jour un...
I just wanted to tick off another article that I had marked for “read later”. In Claude Code is blowing me away, Nick Hodges writes about his surprise how well Claude Code wrote a website plus payment connection for him. The story itself...

Exploring the tradeoffs between wrapping errors at every return site versus wrapping only at boundaries, with no definitive answer - just honest tradeoffs for the kind of software I write.

I have remade my website (yet again) and now generate it with (yet another) SSG of my own design. For some while, my I-don’t-have-anything-to-do-but-I-want-to-program project was SSGs, so I’ve written quite a few. They’re fairly simple...
Today I made some purchases that have been patiently rotting in my wishlist for way too long. Zelda & Chill by beat maker Mikel. It is Zelda. It is lo-fi hip hop. No idea what took me so long. A Constant Buzz (digital + x-ray vinyl 🤩) by...
“In light of the awful brutality by the Iranian government against the uprising in late December 2025, the case for humanitarian intervention in Iran is not obviously implausible…” But what about the actual intervention going on now? It...
Work has been hectic. But I can see the end, which is good, I think. Also, my orthodontic work is coming to an end. I should be free of steel cables in my mouth in three months. Magna Tiles are a hit Manju and I did a Big Loop Ride in a...
Recovery from major surgery is not a single event. It's a long, strange hallway of days that blur together, punctuated by vital checks and medication schedules and the weird glow of hospital curtains at 4 AM. I've written about the...
Days without turning off site blockers: 16 I'm starting to get my appetite for art back, finally!
PART ONE: THE DRIVE The lab at 0300 smelled like copper and ozone. Dr. Amara Okonkwo’s hands were steady on the micropipette, had been steady for forty-seven minutes, would remain steady for another thirteen. The neural architecture...
It’s snowing and I’m doing taxes. I’ve mentioned the photographs of Ragnar Axelsson (Rax) a couple of times here in the past. I recently discovered the availability of the short BBC documentary featuring him: Last Days of the Arctic....
One of the most common questions I get on my walking tours, is about sewage. Where does it go? Are the canals open sewers? What about Katharine Hepburn?
I have been working on a few new features for Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain. You can read a summary of what’s new below.Organise subscriptions with foldersYou can now create folders in Artemis. This feature is designed to help...
The new internet provider has connected me up, and boy is it fast. I ordered 1GB and am currently getting ~800 Mbps down. I cannot complain too much about that, especially when our ISPs in the UK have a disclaimer in their small print...
I laughed heartily, thanks to John Mulaney. ⊕Currently Listening: The Strokes “Bad Decisions”Reply via email
So it’s been mumble weeks since I’ve posted; partly because it’s been as long since I’ve read anything, and partly because I have been in a depression spiral that rivals some of my darkest times. Unlike our lovely friend in the comic...
A lot of people have been deleting their ChatGPT accounts in favour Claude. It’s their way of choosing sides in the controversy surrounding contracts with the U.S. government. I was initially tempted to do the same thing until I...

March 6, 2026 Font Awesome Kickstarter campaigns live and die by momentum in the first 48 hours, and ours ran out of steam before most of our audience even knew it existed. Yes. We hit our initial goal, but if we can't email folks for...
Sometimes people as me questions. Not frequently, but they do. Who are you? A human. It's sad that it's no longer given. I can't solve CAPTCHAs, so maybe it's wrong? Still, my name is Michał, and I am a nerd from Kraków, Poland. I am...
There is a growing trend for new protocols to express themselves in the form of a well-known URI. It’s seen as an easy place to stash something where other interoperable software might want to probe for protocol support, as an...
Years ago, an AA sponsor said something to me that bypassed every defense I had against the idea of God. I was in early sobriety, a committed atheist, unable to square the program's spiritual language with anything I recognized as true....
It all started with an announcement of a tribute to David Lynch with screenings of all his films in one of London's cinemas during the whole month of January. For all my love towards Lynch's works, my partner and I, sadly, couldn't make...
This is one of my favorite emoji reactions to chats at work: 🙂 When I hover over that emoji reaction in chat, it reads: :slightly-happy:. I’ve worked with a couple guys who use that one a lot. I think they both use it to mean, genuinely:...
I am developing four new themes for my doric-themes package: doric-almond (light) doric-coral (light) doric-magma (dark) doric-walnut (dark) Each of them has its own character, while they all retain the minimalist Doric style. Below are...
I’m at the waiting room at the doctor’s office. It’s a big space, the entryway to a health center, maybe 50 feet long with lots of couches. I’m sitting at the far end, one of around ten people waiting for their appointments. A nurse...
I've been progressively getting into dream symbolism lately, but it's been a long, slow road because dreams are so abstract. Most of the time I wake up and, even if I remember the dream, I have no idea how to even put them into words....

What do you expect of an email service? It’s probably not at the top of most people’s lists, but it should be: privacy and security. You don’t expect anyone to be spying on your messages, whether it is about a crucial business contract...
I commemorated Columbus Day in 2023 with a photo post of a pigeon perched atop a Christopher Columbus statute at Brooklyn’s Borough Hall. On February 24, 2026, I took a walk in Brooklyn just a day after New York City finished receiving...
February 2026. Edenham. Lincolnshire. Not quite Greater Grantham, more Bigger Bourne. Have any of you ever been to Bourne ? I knew nothing about little Edenham, 15 minutes off the A1 and Newton’s house, just past that Corby Glen I wrote...

A few things I’ve learned in the last few weeks: Good stress is still stress. The way car insurance operates makes very little sense to the average person (me). Almost everything you’d think works one way, works another. (Also: if your...
更新一些近况，最近身体不是很好，一直卧床摸鱼。 这两天终于缓过来了，精神不少。 一部半自传式的漫画回忆录，讲述了一个孩子突然被从熟悉的环境中「拔出来」，被放到一个本应属于自己、却又非常陌生的文化环境里。故事简单又细腻，几代人经历的并置很有趣。 最近买了两套大富翁。一套是牛津版的，是经典规则；另一套是宝可梦的，有对战和抓宝可梦的环节，节奏更快一些，基本算是一个新游戏了。 喜欢Gin里的草本味。 煎饺真香！ 很舒服的热敷眼罩，里面是某种谷物，微波炉加热，能反复使用。...
Kanban Reading BoardI think I finally may have found a great way for me to track my reading without the use of predatory platforms and cloud-based services; a plain text Kanban board dedicated to books and reading.

You can say what you like about Facebook – and many of my acquaintance won't go near it, indeed flinch at the very name – but I find that it does throw up some unexpected gems from time to time. Here's one that popped up today – 'Enough...
The decision to go with Swift brought a lot of unexpected advantages for us. We come from a world of iOS in the frontend, Python, Node, or Ruby in the backend for server-based applications. Compared to these languages and frameworks,...
Music is quite nice I think, and I enjoy listening to it very much. However I must admit I didn’t actually start to support artists directly until I discovered Bandcamp. Everything started when I got a great little videogame known as...
