Últimamente todas las conversaciones, en redes y en persona, se sienten algo así: Sujeto 1: Ir muy lento en la autopista puede provocar accidentes, se debería ir lo mas rápido posible siempre. Sujeto 2: Ir muy rápido en la autopista...
Dad: “I was pulled over for drinking and driving. It’s only a 24-hour prohibition. Don’t tell your mom.” I thought he’d grown out of it. I thought I’d grown out of feeling anything for this.
Mail from me to Elizabeth Daingerfield Zwicky (who is, in principle, away on holiday with Opal Armstrong Zwicky for the Independence Day weekend), sent at 6:06 am on 7/4 (hugely expanded here): AMZ > EDZ at 6 am on 7/4. Slept, very...
I’ve recently added a banner to the top of my site with a countdown until September 1st, 2026–it’s on the main site, so if you only visit the blog, you probably haven’t seen it. This is the date on which Google will roll out a change...
# Ttile Category Genre Comments 1 PEACE -ChRocktikal Song Rock The vocalist is from a K-pop group called Dreamcatcher that I used to listen a lot. I always thought her voice suits rock really well and now she's in a band so it was a...
I find myself becoming a lot less rigid in my prayer life, which to some might sound like a good thing. For me, I don't see it as a bad thing so much as a slightly scary notion; there's a sense of fear in becoming complacent, telling...
Another data point for my thoughts about blog posts and especially weeknotes being personal or not: Roy read my post and decided to be less personal. Which is interesting – he does also mention that he is writing a private journal as...
I just got home from a family holiday in Italy’s beautiful Umbria region. We had a great time enjoying the breathtaking sights: the rolling green hills, the gentle mountain streams, and cobblestone medieval cities. And the food. Dear...
This year the Web Standards podcast for the Russian-speaking community celebrated 10 years. You might’ve spotted the podcast in the State of JavaScript 2025 results and wondered what it’s doing there. For almost as long, we were...
Yesterday I announced that I'm planning to build a USB-IR receiver for my media centre. Let's look in a bit more detail at what I'm trying to do here. I have three components: An infrared receiver An Arduino A remote Infrared receiver,...
Argomento leggero, carino e coccoloso che fa seguito a un post altrettanto leggero. Regà, di 'sti tempi va così, va bene? Accolliamocelo.Comunque, dicevo, moderazione sul Fediverso. L'altro giorno nella timeline di Phanpy (best client...
I created and maintain Luxury Yacht, a desktop app for managing Kubernetes clusters. Think Headlamp, Lens, and k9s. It's that kind of app. Luxury Yacht is a solo project, and it's been quite a challenge to get it to where it is today. I...
Time to start this. I ended up meeting Bill last night. We talk usually about his family and his experiences. I think he needs someone that will sit and listen. I guess I can do that. He has been here for some years and I don’t think...
I was originally going to title this “Find the cat” but it’s not terribly hard to spot the shy one. Been checking on Oliver through the week in exchange for cold lemonade. (Who am I kidding, I would’ve visited without anything in...
Building your own keyboard is a rite of passage for those caught up in the ergonomic rabbit hole. So, it was only a matter of time before I went all the way and did so. However, as a complete noob when it comes to soldering, I had a...
It's perilous to disagree with someone as wise and thoughtful as Jeremy, but for the past fortnight his post in response to Apple's iOS 27 marketing invades my quiet moments like a cricket in the attic. "Why", I ruminate, "should someone...
I made some updates to my notes blog, including a change to how my “Shuffle” feature worked. Figured I’d blog about it. Shuffle? On a Blog? At the time of this writing, I have 974 “notes” that I’ve published. For fun, I have a “shuffle”...
I've had a busy last 6 weeks or so, probably something to do with getting married and then a honeymoon (it was great btw, some photos from the honeymoon of Sweden's High Coast to come when I get a chance to compile them). But That didn't...
2026-07-05Hello!I photographed the July 4 fireworks at night with a long exposure. Some fireworks gave sparkles of a golden color, and others lit up the night sky with big embers of yellow and blue.Whether the fireworks were timed at the...
Life Notes Monday was a day off, already can’t quite remember what I did with it. Oh yes, a wander round the shops and some sushi. Nice to hang out with my beautiful wife, sans Jack for a change. Tuesday was the day of the Alanis...
Late with the highlights, but at least the blog is now virtually up-to-date, or was before this week’s Proper Day Out in Sawley. Always best to start the month with a Dalek. A typical looking June map, lots of Lancashire, Yorkshire,...
[10/1000] sind schon 1% … Ich unterbreche hierfür mein Youtube schauen und Balatro spielen! Gestern noch über Baudrillard und den Sport geschrieben, heute waren wir im Trampolinpark. Es war spaßig für die ersten 30 Minuten, dann bin ich...

I thought there’d be no better way to celebrate Miles Davis’s centennial than to listen to his whole discography in chronological order (more on that later). Little did i know it’d change the way i see music. And it has nothing to do...
My first JulyReply! Replying to OnlineGoddess.net
Llevo ya bastante tiempo tomándome en serio el volver a meter la carrera en mi rutina de ejercicio. Como ya comenté hace algún tiempo, este año conseguí realizar el reto de los 101 km de Ronda. Para conseguirlo nos tuvimos que plantear...

29th June - 5th July It's light at 5am, the memory of last night's thunderstorm still lingers in an overcast sky and fat wet raindrops falling from leaves to the ground with a slow. rhythmic. slap. The birds are clearing their throats to...
As a person with a modest passion for archivability of internet ephemera, I find the single-link-in-bio model to be so, so tormentful. How could a creator ever confidently say “check out the link in my bio” if they know that in the...
“One of humanity’s oldest disciplines and one of its newest inventions feel distinctly made for each other.” That’s a line from an article published in the New York Times today about the demand for philosophers working on artificial...
英国的盛夏，热的睡不着，结果隔壁养老院着火了… 好久没去动物园，还挺开心的。 Cotswolds 的微缩小镇，在 Bourton-on-the-Water 闲逛是真的很舒服，不愧为英国最美乡村。 玛莎和 Kew Garden 联名的饮料，还挺好喝！ 第一次看到这么小的南瓜。 意料之外好吃的薯片，特别上头！ 落日的美好，照片拍不出。 划了次船，腰酸背痛，一直在转圈圈。 一直想玩一次万智牌，看到有降世神通版的新手套装，忍不住入手了。...
Well, I didn't make it to London on Friday. The Euston train got no further than Milton Keynes (of largely evil memory), where damage to overhead cables up ahead had ended all serious possibility of getting to London, short of limping in...
A few things I shared over on social.omgmog.net between 29 June and 5 July, without much comment at the time, but worth a second look.
The reason I write more Go than JavaScript nowadays is not because there is anything wrong with the language, but because I’m tired of the ecosystem. The language on its own is really good, it is the first programming language that I...
Using an iPad as a desktop computer I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my new iPad, it’s pretty much replaced my personal laptop in my day-to-day. Surprisingly it’s also replaced my need for a desktop computer. Through the use of my USB-C...
I recently got an Xteink and it is a really cute little e-reader device! I thought I’d try hacking around on it, and it’s been fun to tweak. Custom firmware The most popular custom firmware for The Xteink is called CrossPoint Reader,...
După ce am citit articol-ul A week of session-strength blogging in smaller measures mi-am dat seama că așa fac și eu în mare parte, doar că o fac tot timpul. Și până la urmă acesta este blogingul corect: nu contează că articolele sunt...
Welcome to the 94th issue of De Programmatica Ipsum, about Killer Apps. In this edition: Graham argues that the “Killer App” phenomenon is in danger of extinction. Adrian enumerates some examples of “App Killers”. In our Vidéothèque...
Books fall into different categories. Some are more suitable for reading over the summer than others; it is hard to define exactly what makes a book a "summer read," but I think it involves a combination of storytelling, world-building,...
In colonial times, almost all of Manhattan was farmland. These farms—with hundreds of acres of vegetables, fruit orchards, and livestock, anchored by a clapboard farmhouse—were slowly given over to the development of the asphalt city....
