Elizabeth Bishop’s memorial service opened with a reflection by her partner Alice — whose near-loss inspired one of the greatest poems ever written — that included what Elizabeth had always told her was “the only sensible advice she ever...
Today I bumped into this blog post - The Last People Who Know How It Works · unix.foo (https://unix.foo/posts/last-people-who-know-how-it-works/) - which brought back some memories. It reminded me of when I assembled my first computer....
There’s been a lot of talk lately about Mac application icons and “squircle jail.” Inspired by this post from Paul Kafasis on the Rogue Amoeba blog,1 many Mac-adjacent people have taken up his cause to “Free the Icons.” I agree, but...
Mucho se está hablando del anuncio sobre Sony mata el formato físico para los videojuegos (previsto para el 2028). Esta entrada es mi opinión y también mi respuesta a la pregunta con la que termina el texto en el blog de eapl. A mi el...

July 2026. Waterloo/Crosby. Merseyside. An afternoon in Liverpool before a gig that had just been cancelled; what to do ? Loads of museums, but most of the Scouse culture comes in the pubs, and the Globe or the Vines would have been top...

My good friend and colleague Antonio shared some thoughts today about a post he'd just read: The Last People Who Know How It Works. I was composing a reply to Antonio's thoughts on LinkedIn, but then thought better of it, and in the...
An AI agent is its state. Strip away that state and you don’t have a lesser version of your agent; you have only the base model it was running on. This hyle of your weights is much different from the pneuma of your agent. Okay, from a...

I redesigned everything, and there's a new "lists" page but it's empty and ugly and needs work. Please e-mail me if something appears broken (I won't be offended if you think it's broken but it turns out I intended it that way).
Scarcity makes us pay more attention to details. A clear reflection of living with limited resources, one of the things that has intrigued me is the tiny battery capacity of my phone. It wasn’t the biggest when it was new and, four years...

There is a certain type of anime which I despise. I've just learned it has a name - battle of wits. The constant monologues, the constant plots, the genius characters. How will A outwit B? Let's see how it happens and then spend 10...
I added a dominik.md to a project that I only work on once in a while. It contains a list of things still unfinished and a documentation about my decisions I made so far and oh boy is one of my coworkers livid.Frankly, in a time when...
Recentemente me deparei com um plugin pro KOReader chamado FootCream. Além de ser um trocadilho maravilhoso, a extensão é tão legal quanto o nome. A ideia do plugin é escanear o livro por valores no sistema imperial (usado pelos...
A little bit of everything! Migrated to Linux, adding custom emoji to my blog, some thoughts on stuff I've read recently, and a whole mess o' links!
Read on the website: So I was considering starting a wiki. But it seems there are some unsurmountable value mismatches with me and wikis. So here’s a small reflection piece engaging Wittgenstein, literary theory, and a straw man idea of...
Today I wiped my MacBook Pro to factory defaults. I love the feeling of a freshly wiped computer, a blank slate to start fresh with. A chance to break away from bad file organization habits, remove unneeded login items and cleanup the...
In this video I demonstrate how to define key bindings that have a global overriding effect so that major modes cannot change them. This is important if you want to redefine keys that are not meant to be configured by the user. Below is...
This post is part of Robert Birming’s JulyReply, a blog connecting event. I recently came across this post by Michael Harley: “Bloggers, can we make better titles for our posts?” I started writing a reply in the post’s comment section...
The problem of high level playWhy do players struggle when they leave the dungeon and enter the wider world? RPG provocateur Sam Sorensen’s bsky thread on domain play prompted my thinking here. It's enough of a complete thought-arc that...
Lining up at the start of the JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge A fully-packed week with plenty going on. Multiple days of back-to-back meetings coupled with things happening in the evenings. And when things weren’t happening, the...
I mentioned that my wife’s MacBook died in my last post. Yesterday it returned to the land of the living in the dumbest way possible. Before I explain, you have to understand something. This thing was dead dead. Completely unresponsive...

A propos this, philosopher John Dupre writes with an update: The redundancy project is continuing at Exeter, with at least a heartening level of resistance from staff and the staff union. There is some hope that they will succeed: a lot...
To say that I don't write every day to maintain relevance would be a lie. I do want to stay relevant to my readers, but not for anyone else's sake—only for (You). Thankfully, my site is structured so that those who wish to leave can...
Mise en Place 06 Apr, 2026 Putting in place, a French culinary term I scoffed at as a home cook. I considered it a fancy step done by those who have never had to wash their own dishes, all the dainty little containers for every single...

In bloom everywhere around Southern California these days, a branch of bougainvillea in my garden, catching the afternoon sunlight. ブーゲンビリア 最近、南カリフォルニアの至る所でブーゲンビリアが咲いている。うちの庭でも、ひと枝が午後の日差しを浴びている。
Is this metablogging? Perhaps. I’m not going to dwell on that though, there has been plenty written about that avenue / type of post, instead I’m gonna be honest. My writing process If anyone has read any of the entries of Manu’s (now...
Carlota y Laura hacen libros. Propios, porque ambas son autoras, y ajenos, ya que juntas están al frente de Comisura, una editorial que pone en diálogo escritura, fotografía y archivo, y por cuyo catálogo pasean autoras como Leanne...

As any self-hoster would tell you, having a way to access servers running on your home network from the outside world is a must. This explains why services like Tailscale, Zerotier, et al. enjoy popularity with the self-hosting...

This is part 2 of my little webmentions series. In part 1, I outlined my incoming webmentions setup. This one will be much shorter because outgoing is a much more straightforward process. As with incoming, I prefer to avoid dependencies...

You Don't Need Four Specialists mtift Tue, 07/07/2026 - 07:37 One of the statements that I often say before savasana, near the end of a yoga class, is: “we’ve done meditation, breathing, postures, and now it’s time for relaxation.” I’ve...
Early tomorrow I'm heading for Gloucester for a couple of days' walking (or not) with my walking friends. Gloucester is very high on my list of favourite cathedrals, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again after too many years. I'm...

Every Saturday, we would walk twenty minutes from home to the nearest dim sum restaurant. We would order the same dishes: taro dumplings, curry squid, lotus leaf rice, and sometimes Malay sponge cake as dessert for me. Then we’d walk...
Bastian Allgeier talked about "brain lock-in" on his podcast interview with Working Draft and it stuck a bit with me. It came out from the discussions about "vendor lock-ins" when building software (Kirby CMS in this case) and the need...
Now that the IR receiver is working and I can receive key presses from the remote on the Arduino, it's time to think about sending them to the PC somehow. The remote I'm planning to use is the small Apple remote that came with old...
What The Amazing Digital Circus and its AI overlord Caine reveal about real-world artificial intelligence
Why the argument about how capable AI is turns out to be a reading we already have, not a gap we have yet to close. Ask ten people when machine intelligence becomes general and you get a spread of dates. Ask a hundred, and the natural...
