I'm sorry I cannot hit up all the Fourth of July parties because it is a family tradition to sit on the porch that mom picked largely because it was on the route for the Northside Parade.Currently Listening: Jordan Smart “Happy Birthday America”Reply via email
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 wanted right away was a certificate that, in effect, never expires. So with this...
2026-07-10Hello!My internet connection is down. Busy day today, anyways.I won't be writing much, other than to say that I'm rediscovering the camera settings and various menus. It has a suite of basic editing options!I can change some colors and brightness, I can apply filters, and I can add effects like I did here....
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 feed, please have a look at it here. It is a fantastic way to subscribe and read...
“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 follows the same pattern of self-prostration: the willful blindness to the first...
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 do and then there are other parts that feel like it stepped out of Year Zero /...
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 extremo, se cuelga y toca reiniciar forzosamente. ¿No te ha pasado? pues a mi si y lo...
Roshan: Wikipen [[File:{{#setmainimage:Sync_Duration_-_Skybright_ETL.jpg}}|thumb|The view into my ETL system]] Now that we have agents that can analyse our data for us, the question becomes whether to retain our dashboards or not. I think it's pretty clear that the standard answer is right: we need both these...
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。
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 muzzle. Those eventually become part of a routine. A difficult routine, but a routine...
What have I been upto? Busy, very busy. Work has been largely full on with a couple of builds that I’ve been juggling, I’ve also attempting to be supporting partner to my partner as it’s always a tough time for her at this time of the year, with work and a few other things. I did enjoy going to the Foo Fighters two...
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
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 long, staring at it, trying to divine meaning from the word choice. Is it nearly...

The latest links… Can life—all life—be defined in terms of agency? — well what do we mean by agency?

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 that nagging question: Who actually composed this?Historically, these tracks...
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 compression of a specific type of data. Realistic byte streams may contain all...
I like Angela Collier’s videos about physics and I was delighted to discover this 18-minute one… …because it’s a great continuation to the thread about the complexity of Microsoft Office I shared recently. Collier talks about why physicists prefer LaTeX to Word. LaTeX is sort of a nerdy HTML that predates HTML. It...
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 form for the franchise. Super Mario Bros Wonder is a game I completed with my...
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 Crosby hymns that the Salvation Army band played, especially Blessed Assurance” I...

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 your favorite way to eat eggs?Omelette, preferably with grated cheese and parsley...

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)-, Vila-Matas, estaría en los estantes más asequibles. Su discurrir interdisciplinar,...
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 reply and lets them answer in the same thread. He calls the result the least...
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, whistles, and toys. I had my little MG EV for around 2.5 years, and it served me well,...
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, type-specific code. It generates a separate version for every set of type arguments the...
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 sweeping and epic, others painfully introspective — sometimes both in the same...

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 about on the beach with the sun beating down on us and no shelter and us...
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 commercial, nature of the web. And this revival couldn’t be more timely. When...
That's it, I'm a runner now!I’ve been on a bit of a running (and writing) hiatus. Before heading to Wales at the end of June, I had naively imagined I would run and write through the holiday, but neither happened. My last post that I wrote while waiting for Def Leppard hinted at the desire to do them but the reality...
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 watch marching bands. The whole concept is likely alien to them. I contend if you...
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 for a few quid (I think the most I paid was £3 + P&P) I could have some little...
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 that the information was no longer available. I got in touch with him and sent...
Open a window to sunbathed Olympos where three eagles guide mountaineers to the slopes of serenity Pause and marvel as the doves take flight from the ancient oak tree to reach the golden grapevines that bee-eaters now call home
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 – to come face to face not just with one, but two active volcanoes: Etna and...
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 me that would like a more polished, less "casual" appearance, I just struggle...
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 salary so it will always hold a special place in my career. Now that Vice is no...
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 tear pages out when I no longer need them, or when I copy them to either my...
