Soy un gran aficionado a los podcasts, sobre todo sigo podcasts de tecnología y algunos de misterio. Pero hoy no vengo a recomendaros un podcast normal, es una ficción sonora de una calidad de producción increíble. Se trata de Los Perseguidos, basado en la novela de Fernando Benzo. Se ve que Onda Cero ha apostado...

It keeps happening. I can't control it. Sometimes, I feel nostalgic for some old piece of tech, and before I know what's happening, I'm already browsing eBay looking for one. That's how I ended up with an old Thinkpad from 2004 recently. And now it happened again, and so I'm now the proud owner of a Sony Cassette...
OverviewThis week kept circling the same operational lesson: the boring control planes are where the damage starts. Remote support, SharePoint, phone systems, firewalls, Microsoft 365, developer packages, and AI workflow servers all showed up because they sit close to credentials, admin access, customer...
As I write. As I type. As I adapt manifestation of expression. Minimalistic approach to words. Elegant simplicity. Poems hidden in lines; lines hidden in words. Games conjured by accidental voice in my head. Head full of narrators and whispers of collected memories. Ghosts of something deeper. Coherence lost a while...
I am an absolute sucker for female protagonist urban fantasy surrounding books and libraries, and this is a good example of that sub-sub-sub-genre. Sitting in the Venn diagram intersection of library-based urban fantasy and disabled characters as protagonists, this is quite a rare book indeed. On the main...
When I was a little girl, I had a secret reading spot.We had an attic that you could only reach via a wooden ladder that was hidden behind a ceiling panel. In my eyes, that little rope on the ceiling was the gateway to my reader’s heart.The roof was slanted, and on the sides, my mom had made curtains to hide all...
Quick bump to BagOfStuff. v1.2.0 adds something I totally forgot yesterday. While adding the del method to the history classes, to make it easier for me to manipulate them as if they had the interface of a Python list, I totally forgot to add a clear method. Rogallo will need to be able to 100% clear history, as...
I'm off to London today, so here's a post from some years back, in which I marked the July 3rd birthday of the actor George Sanders...Born on this day in 1906 – in St Petersburg, whence his family wisely returned to England in 1917 – was the actor George Sanders. With his good looks and crisp, sonorous upper-crust...
We have collectively been recovering from a physically and emotionally draining two weeks of marching band. We all were caught napping at some point throughout the early days of this week! It’s been nice to have activities wind down this week, and we’ll have a bit of relaxation for a few weeks going forward. It’s...
Uno de los problemas mas molestos de administrar un droplet minimo es que el espacio de 25GB se sienten limitados en poco tiempo, por lo que no que mas que administrarlo de tal manera que no se desperdicie nada. Introduccion Este es un problema que se resuelve facil en entornos de escritorio o incluso en moviles,...

A nice and I think effective notification preview in Retro, with a verbatim sample text of a notification right below its name: Not only you can see exactly what you’re going to get and make a much better-informed decision, but the app even uses actual names of your in-app contacts, so you can relate to the...
The best thing that happened this week It's been a really productive week with a lot of meetings (yes, those can be productive) and work done. I'm currently moving slowly on the migration of our production cluster to use Envoy Gateway. So far so good. It's almost suspicious how smooth the migration is. My iPhone...
In philosophy of mind, people sometimes say things like the following: If functionalism is true about consciousness, then digital computers could be conscious; all it requires is that they instantiate the right programs. And yes, most functionalists about consciousness do think that. But the claim about digital...
June 2026. Apperley Bridge. West Yorkshire. Back on the Cask Camino last Sunday, which seems to be the regular date solely on account of the Travelodges on the way being £30 rather than £189 that day, at least till we get to Skipton. We park at Shipley, take a 5 minute train back to where we left off at Apperley...
(You can click on these.) Addendum to last week’s newsletter: I learned from Leia that the last words of David, the patron saint of Wales, can be translated in part to “be cheerful and do the little things.” What a lovely coda! Thanks, Leia. Let’s not get stepped on today. —Brendan
You wouldn’t have bet on it, the frail famous poet teaching at Harvard as a visiting professor and the athletic secretary of the campus residence half her age. But every great love exists against probability, belongs to that region of the universe where the wildest bet may be the winning bet. When she met Alice...
I blog because I want to share knowledge. That’s how I have fun. It feels rewarding to sit down and formulate your thoughts after spending a week researching a topic for a side project. Oftentimes, such topics are largely unexplored: with the basics being too obvious and other topics laid out clearly, the remains...
Hidde hosted an AB meeting this week in his home city of Rotterdam. I’m grateful that the heatwave had broken before I got there. I missed the first half-day—I had been in Geneva that morning, and only got to AMS in the early afternoon. Fortunately, the airport is only about a half-hour’s train ride from Rotterdam...
A month ago I was in Asia on a long trip, and so I was excited to see some temples. Temples are huge tourist attractions, especially in Thailand, but not all of them are equal (or so I've learned). Although these were legit holy spaces (you have to take off your shoes, can't wear shorts, have to cover your...
Go 1.26 rebuilt go fix from scratch. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a spin: it rewrites the code in your module to use modern language and library features. It has quickly become one of my favorite features, and LLMs are a big part of why. Models tend to use old APIs, and sometimes they deny that a new API...
El de fútbol de 2026 ha conseguido por méritos propios coronarse como el mundial más contaminante de la historia. Centrándonos en las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, el informe “FIFA’s Climate Blind Spot: The Men’s World Cup in a Warming World” estima que el campeonato celebrado en Norte América será...

It’s been a hectic week. Lots of work, meetings, and things to get done. I still have things on my list. I might have to work a bit tomorrow. I continued with my regular P.T sessions. I could also play last Saturday, which was fun. BTW, welcome to the second half of 2026. Yamaha at Hive Club, Thanisandra. Looks all...
Es tan raro leer un libro escrito en los 50s donde se habla sobre cómo todo se volvió rápidamente consumible, resumido y sin sustancia. Me hace preguntarme qué hubiera pensado el autor en la actualidad, el "contenido" que consumimos se volvió aún más corto, si en ese entonces ya se sentía corto, no me imagino como...

My Pa sent me these clippings from a local paper. It is from my Great Granny Jackson's 100th birthday party. Us kids all loved her she had a real twinkle in her eye. I remember her chain smoking until she gave up for her health at 96. She had a cuckoo clock that used to fascinate us. I must have been around 12-ish...
Another small update from me today. I have news! It's small news, but still, I hope the Bear Blog community can take this and use it. I finally have a theme based on my blog in Bear Blog's theme directory! It's called Low Vision Reader. Of course, it was made with low vision readers in mind by having large text by...
2026-07-03Hello! Short article today after yesterday's ramble.This is just some props that I had lying around: a deck of cards, a cardboard box, some paper, and a printer. And a flashlight. I set the cards at the perfect position to stay freestanding.Abstract photography is always a bit strange, since by its very...
main ul.no-multiline > li, main ol.no-multiline > li { margin-bottom: 0; } My blog has a ton of lists, some of which contain only 1 line per item while others can have more than 1 line per item. I find that for the latter, the list quickly becomes a dense block of text and lacks a visual separation between each...
So this is a bit of a regular feature – I’m going to share piece of tech that I’ve been enjoying that doesn’t suck. Because let’s be honest, technology sucks. Here’s something that’s good, fun, and doesn’t take the piss with their terms & conditions. Late last year I’ve stuck in a new system in my house – the...
Terence Eden recently published a post titled This blog is written in en-GB. Before I even read the post, I knew what it was going to be about, and that I had to make that change myself too, for the same reasons as I'd guessed he was going to explain. Terence expresses those reasons very well, so I won't try to...
Where one would like to see less "meta posts", another starts a month of reply collecting... Gotta love the vibe there!
Welcome to the firt day of our hiking-vacation in the Fränkische Schweiz. If you think that we had a relaxed and lazy start .. you might be wrong. It was a day full of caves, forests and gorgeous views ...
Hey everybody, I have a really important update for you all. Anastasia has found a new spot to sleep in, and it’s fucking fabulous. She found it the other day when I was going through an old cabinet for my lady things (pads), and OMG why have I been hiding it for this long!?!?!?! It’s got a box to sit in inside of a...
Luis Carlos Pando - Sobre el anuncio de Sony y la muerte del formato físico Este tema ha generado mucho ruido en redes.

TALKIN SHIT Cardinals all the way down, man. Quick sidenote: celebrating my country feels pretty gross in normal times and these are far from normal times, so if you too are in the states: may your weekend be hopefully filled with like, barbecued food and good vibes instead of inhospitable temperatures, weird...
Every judge of your work can be escaped or fooled except one. The advice was go collect your nos. Send so many asks that rejection stops costing anything, and the yeses fall out of the pile. It works, where the asks are cheap. But it smuggles an assumption past you: that a no is a verdict worth collecting in the...
Gestern Abend habe gesagt ich gehe jetzt nach Hause um meine 1000 Wörter zu schreiben und dann bin ich auf der Couch eingeschlafen … [8/1000] Wie gesagt bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob das mit der Abgrenzungsarbeit auch auf Plattformen und im Verhältnis von Journalismus und Influencertum funktioniert. Denn die...
Today’s question is, “What do you do to improve your sleep?” and frankly, I find the question offensive. But if you must know, my current sleep strategy consists of being a night owl until about 3:00 AM, getting a light dusting of unconsciousness, and then waking up for work feeling like I was hit by a bus. If I’m...
Happy Birthday America! You did it. 250 years old. Well done!We just won’t ask those guys over there about it though (you know, the natives). Anyway, as Aimee Mann says: Today’s the Fourth of JulyAnother June has gone byAnd when they light up our town I just thinkWhat a waste of gunpowder and sky You’ve still got a...

J’écris pour pratiquer la langue et je lis pour apprendre de nouveaux mots. Maintenant c’est plus facile d’écrire une note peut-être philosophique parce que il y a plusieurs termes qui ont les mêmes entre grec, français, et anglais. Je peux parler aussi, mais ça va être un peu plus difficile, donc j’ai besoin des...

Do you remember the little drama with Apple and Google proposing two contradicting ideas about the native CSS way for masonry layout implementation? It is all over, and what we got is a beautiful compromise between the two in a the form of display: grid-lanes. This is super exciting as it has been a frequently...
