Linear has this hierarchy of layers to track, say, a feature. Not too dissimilar from all this "epic, story, task, sub-task" kind of nonsense that goes around. Linear calls it "project -> issue -> sub-issue" etc. I am going through a project I am working on and someone has set up projects for each feature, and each...
This month’s Emacs Carnival, my first participating, is titled “Mistakes and Misconceptions.” This story happened over the past few years, behind the scenes, and was just resolved this month when I posted about an annoyance I had with how I thought eww, the Emacs Web Wowser, just worked. Turns out, it was me all...
SpoilersMinor backstory spoilers in the first paragraph Our heroine, Zélie, has suffered immensely; her mother is dead, killed by the tyrant king's soldiers for the crime of having magic, her father beaten for the crime of being married to her mother, and her own latent magic stripped away leaving only the...

I mentioned a bit of this a few years back in a post where I shared some early computing memories. At the time, I only recalled what the games were about, but I didn’t remember the names or specific game mechanics. However, through vague descriptions and looking in some abandonware sites, I found the games and...
Last night as I was lying in bed I was thinking “wait, wasn’t there some book I was reading that I wanted to continue?” and that thought made me happy but then I became sad because I remembered that I already had finished it that morning. Reading this was a mistake because it was so much better than all the, I...

Remember this? 21 March 2020. We were two days away from total lock-down in the UK (and most of the world) due to the COVID pandemic. Speculation was high that it might happen, and the supermarkets were struggling to maintain stock. Looking back, it's difficult to comprehend.
But otherwise they are just like humans... Every single beast story.
Note: This post introduces my new on-site Blogroll. You can view the Blogroll, which will be regularly updated, here. I have had a long-time interest in maintaining a blogroll on The New Leaf Journal and had a couple of blogroll pages in the past. However, I was never satisfied with my blogroll idea, and for that...
I really like reading blogs. I also really like Mastodon as a social media, to keep in touch with people or to have a quick chat about random things. One thing I'm not a fan of though is when people post long articles which would be ideally suited for a blog as a "thread" on Mastodon. Here is a Mastodon thread I saw...
A rather curious Venetian fashion, with the curls set high, as a pair of horns, and as a sign of chastity and virtue.

In this article, we propose an alternative approach to digital identity that replaces user profiles with trusted digital relationships.
I love that I am so passionate about a topic that makes me research and learn so much, that I go to conferences for, that I get newsletters and magazines about. I especially love that I feel so intensely about it that nothing could stop me from it. I’ll find ways to engage with it anyway, somehow. Nothing can ruin...
“Often the places we grow up in… influence how we perceive and conceptualize the world, give us metaphors to live by, and shape the purpose that drives us.” “Place and a mind may interpenetrate till the nature of both is altered,” the Scottish mountaineer and poet Nan Shepherd wrote in her lyrical love letter to her...
March 21, 2026 I've been busy working outside for the past three days. A friend and I started by cutting up the remaining log stack and splitting about half of it for firewood. Then Thursday and Friday we cleared the cart path through the woods, part of our property, that had been blocked by fallen trees and broken...
My dislike strong opposition to engaging with “AI” generated things, be that texts, images, code or anything else is well-documented. But avoiding the mindless slop is still getting harder, as it seems that more and more developers, writers – and of course SEO-scum trying to make quick buck – can’t avoid the siren...
One of the boys at work is gone for the weekend while he celebrates his wedding anniversary. Typically on the weekend we are all there, because that is when it is the busiest. The boys always seem to have plenty of work to do, and they always stay busy throughout the day. Sometimes, when it is really busy they seem...
March 21st is World Poetry Day. I am not a poet, nor do I read much of it. I have a friend who is an amazing writer but sometimes it's too deep for me. I am a simple person! I've written three in my life, so here's one which helped me with my emotions on the death of my dog.
I was thinking the other week about how I should write weeknotes more often. Last year I wrote fewer, after getting tired of them and finding fulfillment elsewhere; now I’ve come back round to it. It may do me some good again to document such things. I suppose this cycle is natural. Projects I remain scatterbrained...
D hatte mich beim letzten Nachbarschaftsabend im Kunsthaus Kalk zu ihrer Ausstellung mit A eingeladen, auch um die Räumlichkeiten der Produzentengalerie Zoozmann und das dort ansässige Künstler*innen-Kollektiv ARTverwandte kennenzulernen. Das Kollektiv hat eine kleine Kunst-Oase in Humboldt/Gremberg geschaffen; in...

Erin Kissane: There is a lot—like a lot a lot—of research suggesting that using social media to keep up with news does not actually inform us but does makes us feel more informed. Many studies of many populations have found for knowledge about what’s happening to us, social media essentially magnifies the...
“Writing online” can mean many different things. A social media post, a forum entry, an essay, a poem – you name it. But my favorite format remains the short blogpost. A couple of paragraphs, talking about one experience, one idea, one epiphany, but always something to take away or something leaving the reader...
There are some terrific episodes in ST:TNG season 5, but more than anything else this is The Season When Worf Gets in Touch with His Feelings. This happens over the course of several episodes, primarily through Worf’s interactions with Troi — and yes, I know they become an item later on. But let’s forget about that...
Here I go again, knocking on things I haven’t tried and probably won’t. Don’t take it the wrong way, though. My goal here is to be informative, not pejorative. Mistral is Europe’s answer to all the other generative AI companies. While it is easy to find articles about this company, they haven’t quite made much of a...
In May 2010 we merged support for the RTMP protocol suite into curl, in our desire to support the world’s internet transfer protocols. RTMP The protocol is an example of the spirit of an earlier web: back when we still thought we would have different transfer protocols for different purposes. Before HTTP(S) truly...
Oftentimes, there exists more than one truth. I learned that today at an athletics event, where one of the workshops was dedicated to weightlifting for track athletes. Exercises like cleans, snatches, and more of the sort. Types of exercises I've apparently been doing wrong for the last couple of years. Or well,...

The search for the strangest Adobe setting continues in Lightroom, where the first option in the Interface section is… end marks: Presently, only one option is there… …but at least back in 2012 there were many more: What does it do? It adds an old-time’y glyph at the end of either left or right panel. The internet...
March 2026. Cologne. Germany. Our first day in Cologne, six Kolsch down and no plan. Let’s just admire the Old Town, and let Mrs RM take photos she’ll wonder why she took a week later. Wandering down through Salzgasse, towards Martinswinkel, perhaps the architectural highlight after the Dom. At that moment the Noddy...

Noble Friends and Free Software Communities mtift Sat, 03/21/2026 - 08:24 In yoga and meditation communities, there’s a concept called kalyāna-mittatā, or noble friendship. The Buddha considered it so important that he called it the entirety of the path. Noble friends don’t just make you comfortable. They help you...

I climbed a mountain this morning! This is actually my second climb for the year but, today writing resulted! This was my usual local training hike, a mere 750ft-ish assent. I like it because it's usually not too busy in the mornings and only a few minutes from wherever else …
It's World Poetry Day today (though it should be World Music Day, as it's Bach's birthday).To mark the occasion I've assembled a little collection of poems in which one poet addresses or encounters or hails another – thereby doubling the poetical headcount. Or even tripling it, as here, where Keats encounters Homer...
