Sometimes the act of just sitting with the coffee gives me this desire to go on. To write on things that perhaps I left behind or that somehow passed me by. There’s never any rush here to do a thing. To find an answer. It’s like a...
Big news this week! The Media Guide disappeared a bit (again) there for awhile, but for good reason. We are officially launching The Media Guide web app for subscribers at the [+] and Patron tiers. This newsletter will continue being...

Following up on my 4/11 posting “Variability in our mental lives”, about (a)phantasia and (an)auralia, having to do with, respectively, visual and auditory mental experience and their lack: having, or not having, a mind’s eye or a mind’s...

Across gender lines, a vast amount of interior life—the running commentary of thought, the texture of daily experience, the actual content of emotional processing—remains systematically unexpressed. Contemporary social life lacks strong...
Podman is a drop-in replacement for Docker. I chose it because Justus suggested me to look into it while I was interviewing him for the DWeb blog, and other friends encouraged me to try it in multiple occasions. By learning more about...
“To be a Flower is profound Responsibility,” Emily Dickinson wrote. From the moment she pressed the first wildflower into her astonishing teenage herbarium until the moment Susan pinned a violet to her alabaster chest in the casket, she...
April 2026. Lincoln. I’m not adding the Ritz to my extensive “2026 Pubs Visited” spreadsheet, as I didn’t even have a can of San Pellegrino, so terrified was I of needing a comfort break on the bus to Wragby in half an hour, and having...
One of the things that my career break has taught me is that I’m not yet ready to retire. This is good because the kids still need educating and that still needs financing. I also still enjoy playing with computers, much as I did when...
(Not a post about the wave of warehouse fires but also those) Dude you know what’s cool as hell? When you write a blog post detailing a technical issue you’re having and while listing out everything you’ve tried, you get a weird idea to...

I went full speed ahead this week. The vibe Builder mode from start to finish. This week felt like creative momentum, shipping things I am genuinely proud of, and seeing several ideas finally become real. At the same time, getting sick...

I recently read Feminism or death by Francoise d'Eaubonne and I was underwhelmed.
For decades the internet has been a place to make your voice heard, and the cornerstone for most of that time has been blogs. Even in the rise and fall of social media, blogs continue to have their place in the internet. RSS, as old as...
New ideas cannot develop without silence. With constant stimulation to keep our mind busy, there is no growth inside of us. Our mind needs space and time to process new information. You have to be with yourself and let your mind wander...

At the Tech Minimalist, and MacJunky, my job to help coaches and consultants simplify their tech stack, so that they’re not swimming is ‘friction frustration’. However, that is easier said than done. Not because they don’t need it but...
One of my favorite things about the small web is it's ability to casually change your life a little bit for the better. Not in some dramatic, TED Talk, "this changed everything" kind of way. I mean in the older, quieter internet sense....
Why read the book? C.S. Lewis wrote Out of the Silent Planet. It is the first book in his Space Trilogy. Dr Elwin Ransom is kidnapped by two ambitious scientists and taken by spaceship to Mars, called Malacandra by its people. Ransom...
Acum câteva zile am primit un mail de la un urmăritor al canalului meu de PeerTube și al jurnalului. Mi-a scris că îi plac articolele și că urmărește canalul cu interes, ceea ce m-a bucurat sincer, pentru că nu este ceva obișnuit să...
When you start a new project, it feels nice that everything lives in a single main.go file. When things start to grow, you split things into multiple files. We will add tests later, right? Requirements change, someone joins the team, and...
Minor Blog Extensions First I added asciinema support to better show some console stuff. ASCIInema allows to record a terminal session in text and replay it as text. So no wasteful GIF or blurry MP4 for just text. You can see the first...
Ireland pays a select group of artists a basic income for a three year period, an initiative the Irish government claims is a world first. At present, the weekly value of the payment equates to about five-hundred-and-forty Australian...
No, I have not insinuated myself into a new show, creeping like predatory mold on an unwary Senator; The 1940s Radio Hour1 in 2014 was the last time I trod the boards and my tippy-tappers will not know their wooden kiss again until I can...

Everyone, I’m so, so sorry to report that the zombocalypse is upon us. Some domain squatter got ahold of zombo.com in February. I just noticed this today. Pour one out for another lost relic of the ’90s web. According to Wikipedia: As of...
L is for Lazy Every now and then I remember a conversation I had with an friend and old coworker. Where, at the time, I was going on about some framework or programming thing. He had mentioned that not only he didn’t like programming but...
The internet known within China is a very different internet to the one known by the world at large. It is censored, regulated and structured quite differently. It is controlled and managed, rather than organic and sprawling. From the...

What have I been upto? Last week saw me attend the Newton-le-Willows beer festival on Thursday, and for only the second time since I started drinking again, I was hungover. This lead to me being very delicate on the Friday – thankfully I...
I've decided to make my sprints here an hour long now, but even when they were at 45 minutes, I tended to go toward a certain word count instead of writing the whole way through the timer. Usually, I'd end up getting to that desired word...
Progress being made. Still a long road to go.

I had a thought, actually while reading Shubham Bose’s The 49MB Web Page, about my use of RSS. The most radical thing you can do is refuse to be extracted. Close the tab. Use RSS. Let the bounce rate speak for itself. These are vanity...

When my Kobo Libra 2 started to show signs of failing, I looked at getting a replacement. I initially thought I would go for a Kobo colour but then I changed my mind. I wanted to go for something different, smaller, easier to load any...

I just grabbed and opened up the MacBook Air and met this: First time I've ever seen this and I've been using Ghostty for quite a while now. To be fair, the MacBook did update to 26.4.1 overnight and has tried to get back to the state it...

In my quest to make our over-the-air TV experience, almost purely to watch Jeopardy!, I came across Channels. I’ve heard of it before, but never really looked into it. It’s generally considered to be better than Plex, which I’m using...
A while ago, I contacted Sindal Flight Club to inquire about its activities and perhaps joining it. I was about to give up hope of hearing back from them when, out of the blue, I got a reply thanking me for my interest and inviting me to...

When you make speed and “moving fast” the biggest priority on a project or in an organization, the first thing to breakdown is talking to each other. Talking takes time. Consensus is expensive and slow. In a pressurized environment...
