Replied to The Cat Phone Came Back by Dan Lewis (Now I Know) If you grew up in the 1980s, there's a decent chance you had a novelty telephone in your home — one shaped like a football, a hamburger, or perhaps a cartoon character. Dan...
If you only use social media and video hosting frontends - getting fed by algorithms and visiting the same 5 sites everyday on constant doomscroll, then the internet has never been alive for you. That experience is perhaps ~3-5% of what...

I needed to convert file status flags between operating systems yesterday. They are the values you pass as the second argument to open – O_NONBLOCK, O_NOATIME, O_SYNC, O_DSYNC, and so on: int open(const char *path, int flags, /* mode_t...
Imagine you want to learn computational physics and Python as an advanced high-school student or undergraduate. Where to start? Assuming no prior programming experience, a quick introduction to programming concepts won’t go amiss. To get...

All of these people saying that Formula 1 is now like Mario Kart. I don’t think they played the original on the SNES; that was proper racing. There was none of this ‘blue shell’ malarkey and artificially being faster just because you’re...
Recently I've had an odd problem with Emacs: occasionally, and somewhat randomly, as I wrote code, and only when I wrote Emacs Lisp code, and only when working in emacs-lisp-mode, I'd find that the buffer I was working in would...

You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in...
As I have been preparing slides for my coming talk at foss-north on April 28, 2026 I figured I could take the opportunity and share a glimpse of the current reality here on my blog. The high quality chaos era, as I call it. No more AI...

I like to walk quickly. One of my childhood friends did, too. Whenever I reflect on the pace at which I walk, I think of the times when we tried to walk as fast as possible. My friend was much more athletic than I – with longer legs, too...
When I started this blog I only had a vague plan, really more of an idea of a plan, to do some daily writing to get back into the groove of writing and to slowly work on the website. So really mostly for myself and to build up to...

I'm trying out a new post type: Writing about individual things that I own. To avoid writing "product reviews", I will only write about things that I've consistently used for more than one year. Instead of the excitement that comes with...
The headline is about coaching baseball, but let us start elsewhere. Past Basketball Coaching Dreams There was a time when I was a kid that I wanted to be a basketball coach. That time passed. In the end, I never undertook any effort to...
开始并坚持练习剑道 中二病时期，我在『死神』里第一次听说了『剑道』这个词。当时只觉得剑道是一个很帅很强的设定，没有想过现实生活中作为武道以及竞技运动的剑道是什么样。 高中的某天，我去北京市里某拳馆找在那里工作的我哥，偶然发现拳馆和一个剑道馆相接。那是我第一次知道国内也有人在练习剑道，并且有了或许上大学之后可以试一试的想法。...

In all honesty, this is basically just another post to talk about games I haven’t finished yet but that have been very fun, so I just want to go on a quick ramble about how good they have been so far. Some are on hold but still worth...
Apesar do título ser esse acima, eu diria que EU não gosto de me manter atualizado usando tecnologia atual. Talvez fosse um título que fizesse mais sentido mas a vida é assim, muitas vezes não é pra fazer sentido. Eu notei isso hoje...
Dacă folosești Linux Mint de ceva vreme, probabil ai observat că screenshot-urile sunt salvate automat în ~/Imagini/ - sau într-un director similar, în funcție de limba sistemului. Pentru cei mai mulți utilizatori este suficient, dar...
Not much action today, but I wanted to see few things. I mostly did some maintenance work on my character today, buying skills and such. But there has been few things in Jita I wanted to see. Space elevator! Jita has a pretty neat space...
… everything. I need to know less, but I know more. Trying to cultivate a life which allows me to know less while still participating in society requires me to know more and do more than simply laying back and passively allowing the...
Nearly missed this, staying focused can be tricky, to say the least, at times like these. The book crawl was established just last year by Federico Lang, who works at Librería Luces, an independent bookstore in the Spanish city of...
I relate a lot to Herman’s recent post, in more ways then one. His thoughts on travel are very similar to mine, and the fact that he’s writing from Kyoto is even better.You see, I spent a semester studying in Japan 14 years ago (good...

I recently got to explore the Squirrel Hill area of Pittsburgh, PA and had a wonderful time inside the Riverstone Books location there. This shop is much bigger on the inside than it looks from the street and is worth popping in. My...

I mean isn’t it a totaly adult and viable decision to directly buy a tech thing after you read a bunch of blogs writing about it? Yeah, absolutely :) And as some of the Podcasts I listen also mentioned this one I was sold. As you can see...
Está todo inventado Puede parecer una frase muy recurrente pero es que realmente a veces lo parece. Sobre todo en literatura. Y no creo que esto sea además necesariamente malo. Cuando uno tiene leídos bastantes libros tiende siempre a...
Ocarina of Time is one of those games that gets talked about so much that I’ve sort of always felt like a fake gamer for never finishing it, even nearly 30 years after release. That changed last weekend and I would now like everyone to...
April 2026. Wragby. Lincolnshire. Your actual new Wragby Beer Guide pub isn’t a classic, but then the Lincolnshire Wolds aren’t renowned for classics. Prove me wrong. But you do get this extraordinary piece of art in the garden of the...
