July 2026. Saltaire. Bradford. While the organist played us hymns modern and ancient in Saltaire’s United Reformed Church I devised a plot to get Mrs RM to visit a pub (she’s a reformed character this last week). “Mum loved those Fanny...
Many years ago, when I was single and had money, I bought some lego kits and then —for reasons I can’t really recall— went on an eBay splurge on some Lego Minifigures. I don’t think I was trying to build a collection, just realised that...
“Life will break you,” Louise Erdrich wrote in her exquisite insistence that “you are here to risk your heart.” The price we pay for the risk is the great equalizer of humanity. In heartbreak, everyone is shorn of dignity, everyone...
Jensen Huang runs Nvidia by a rule most executives would find deranged: he holds no one-on-one meetings. Whatever he has to say, he says to everyone at once. If someone tells him a colleague is failing, he copies the colleague on the...
The latest links… Can life—all life—be defined in terms of agency? — well what do we mean by agency? From Newton’s few laws to Alphafold’s 93 million parameters: how should we understand the scientific virtue of simplicity today? — Eric...
I have a small notepad (a Rhodia Dotpad no 12) that I use for... well, everything. It's a mishmash of notes, lists, reminders, a personal budget tracker and anything else that I feel the need to jot down. The contents vary constantly, I...
Writing for Jacobin, the leftist magazine, in an article titled Norway’s Vikings Are Reclaiming Valhalla at the World Cup, Mímir Kristjánsson notes: The fundamental requirement of multiculturalism is a diversity of cultures. For...
This problem arose when I was writing a specialized data compressor. Say you want to encode a byte stream, and bytes can be encoded in different formats, e.g. optimized for ASCII, numbers, raw binary, etc. These formats prioritize better...
Listening to AA Williams and feeling blown away. Gothic dark rock music. A slick and polished wall of bassy distorted guitars, solid drums, and plaintive piano leaving room for Williams' vocals that sit in that Tori Amos space. At times...

This is a review for a game I finished in March 2025. I just felt compelled to write about it now, I guess. It’s really weird that I chose not to review this one when I rolled credits on it, because it really is a fantastic return to...
Unmasking the UnnamedIf you’ve spent any time in the retro scene, you know the drill. You’re browsing through old demos or cracktros, and a killer tune starts playing - the kind that stays stuck in your head for days. But there's always...
We all consume online content by different means. The majority of the people prefer mainstream social media while a small number of people use newsletters or RSS/Atom feeds. I am in the latter group. Those who are not familiar with RSS...
“You are not your grand plans. You are your daily patterns.” I love this quote from James Clear because it hurts me in all the right ways. At my worst, I feel like my daily patterns are at war with my grand plans. When I’m fighting a...
The resurgence of personal, independent, and non-commercial websites has been with us for several years, propelled in part by the IndieWeb/SmallWeb communities, and a heap of discontent — to say the least — with the present, excessively...

Lately I’ve felt the blog is my best daily starting point. I peruse fediverse once every few days now but this thing is daily. I just enjoy writing it. Whether I have something I want to say or just some time to see where a thing goes....
Drowning. We used to surf the web. Now we're trying not to drown. I said that this morning to my brother, then realized that's a whole thought iceberg on it's own. Especially since I grew up with the special interests of...

Aquí va mi reseña de la edición #228 de Full Circle magazine. Se trata del número correspondiente a abril de 2026 y está disponible para su descarga desde el 24 de ese mes. Consiste en un PDF de 53 páginas y de 4,3 MB. De la sección de...
Yesterday (in “A new leaf”) I reported on moving house, ending with so, so tired — bone-exhausted — but extremely far from settled in [at Avant, my new place], just enough to take my meds and eat some food. Barely able to speak anymore....
Omnibear v2.3.0 has been release with some improvements to the login flow. But more importantly, it is now available in the Chrome Web Store! If you have a website that supports Micropub, check it out. Also posted to: news.indieweb.org
Someone submitted an issue to one of our open GitHub repositories a week ago, suggesting a new feature. We didn’t respond, since we didn’t notice it. Today, someone else submitted an implementation of the feature in a pull request. I...
The good There are a few pieces of equipment I got for this trip which I absolutely enjoyed using: Vaude AquaBox I got this just one or two days before the start of the trip because I realized my current front bag was very small and...
Andrew Webster, writing at The Verge:Since its inception, Apple TV, née Apple TV Plus, has built a reputation on quality over quantity. It has far fewer shows and movies than the likes of Netflix or Disney Plus, but generally speaking,...
Enrique Vila-Matas es un escritor de primera magnitud. Original en la concepción de su obra y honesto en la aplicación de la misma. Si tuviéramos que establecer un canon de autenticidad literaria- (que por fortuna nadie nos lo pide)-,...
This was published on Vice. It was a good journalism piece, I feel, even though I am no longer a journalist. Still, this was great because I got paid well above what I was expecting. It was my first publication where I negotiated my...
I think I need to start doing less shit. Even less than what I've already been doing—can you believe that? I had to surrender Arthur to the shelter yesterday, so that was a hard day. Somehow I made it through to the next morning, weirdly...
This is simply amazing. Very strong Pink Floyd vibes for me. I feel like Zimmer has stepped out of the shadow of John Williams and may now be the premiere movie soundtrack guy. There are some parts that feel like something Williams would...
While going through the Go generics proposal, I got curious about how the compiler implements it. Compilers usually handle generics in one of two ways: With full monomorphization, the compiler turns generic code into concrete,...
Richard, Elinor and I went to Dunwich Heath on Tuesday afternoon. We had originally thought about going in the late morning and having some lunch in the National Trust café there. However, it became too hot and the thought of wandering...
This is part two of my photographic review of our journey to Sicily in May. Views. And the island has so many of them – and in those two weeks we were only able to see just a few in the north. It was truly impressive – and a first for me...
I've made a quick update to Wasat, my async Gemini Protocol client library for Python. Now that I'm at a point where I want to add client certificates to Rogallo, I'm essentially shaking down the support for this in Wasat. One thing I...
CHE story here. It’s obviously true that “deals” with a criminal like Trump are almost never reliable, but, contrary to what the article suggests, there is no “academic freedom” right to engage in unlawful discrimination in admissions....
Probablemente te hayas encontrado con este problema. Tienes preparado tu sistema y esta todo bien hasta que el swap entra en escena. Todo empieza a ir mas lento hasta que en un descuido en el que el consumo de la RAM llega hasta el...
Early this year, a blogger, Christian Lauf, expressed dismay over my decision to remove all the comment sections in my blog. Christian explained that he wanted to link to a blog he encountered in a comment on my post and was disappointed...
This past week was filled with July 4th, a lovely visit from family, and lots of music. The music in this case took the form of drum and bugle corps, of which me and my family are big fans. To the outsider, it’s like paying money to go...

The afternoon fog begins to drift in, and the coastline fades into the distance. ポルトギーズ・ベンド 午後の霧がこの一帯を覆い始め、海岸線が遠くへと消えていく。
I'm not a high maintenance girl, cause high maintenance costs money. I sometimes watch those videos on YouTube of girls showing off their monthly "self-care routines" and it's honestly insane. Although I have to admit, there is a part of...
This questionnaire is based on Davey's article, which is an adaptation of the Dish Podcast's Quickfire Quiz. It is inspired by Peige's post as well. The following questions have been slightly modified for spelling and style. 1. What is...
No one really prepares you for this chapter of loving a senior dog. At least no one has prepared me. I thought the hardest part of it all would be the frequent vet visits, the scheduled medications, or the peppering gray around her...
I was waiting for Claude to answer a token-heavy question at work the other day, the little “Thinking…” label flickering into “Wibbling…” and then “Moseying…”, and I caught myself doing the thing I always do when a spinner takes too...

I recently bought a new Peugeot and the experience of getting setup on their online platform has been painful to say the least. Yesterday I picked up my shiny new (to me) Peugeot E-3008 GT. It's a beautiful car with lots of bells,...
