This comment from Bruno, on Bluesky (pt_BR): Instagram launches new tool that drains your entire bank account and kills your family. Here’s how to turn it off 👇 Instagram doesn’t (yet) do that. His joke references the recent news that...
Every time I look at Sven's blog I get jealous. I loved his previous design so much I copied it (with his permission). His new design is so fun and it's making me want to make mine more fun (no copying this time though). I'm just not...
Missing In ActionI am a bit disappointed at myself for breaking my relatively consistent weeknote habit—missing out on W26 and W27. I am now writing this on Friday to make sure W28 is not cancelled! Life just kinda caught up, and partly...
I came across Martijn’s post on Bubbles today and would like to take this opportunity to answer his question from my point if view … I can already hear you complaining that you shouldn’t use tables for layout. Why exactly? CSS is simple,...
And well, here is another weeknote for y’all to update you on what I’m up to. I’m still following the World Cup, I have done a return to the gym and even went on a Saturday. ⚽ Norway lost against England, so now the stakes are clear. No...
Ayer por fin saqué la bicicleta. Llevaba meses ignorándola, ahí estaba, acumulando polvo, con detalles que necesitaba arreglar y siempre encontrando una excusa para dejarlo para “el próximo fin de semana”. Hasta que la semana pasada...
Here. I haven’t had time to compare this to Professor Kramnick’s rejoinder to the official Report, but if any readers have taken the time to examine both Appiah’s report on literary studies, and Kramnick’s essay, please feel free to post...
Dear reader,For a long time, Mullvad VPN stood as the embodiment of a perfect privacy-focused company. From innovative features and data minimization to responsible marketing, Mullvad checked every box that mattered. It almost appeared...

I’ve been reading 1960s news (my grandpa saved a bunch of news yearbooks) as an alternative to internet and so far the most striking—and this goes for other books I’ve lead from fifties through nineties was that it was from a world of...
Soy algo lúdita al rechazar el uso de lA a la hora de hacer arte. Considero que escuchar música o leer un libro que fue escrito enteramente, parcialmente o ayudado por alguna herramientas artificial no vale la pena mi tiempo. ¿La razón?...
I love taking notes, but one problem that I have is that that I start cherishing every notebook that I start. I can't seem to keep my notes messy. Eventually, I start structuring the notes, doing cleaner handwriting, adding a cover or...

Julia Roberts? She was in that one movie with that guy, and the other one with the other guy, and like 100 more. Whatever. But she’s old news. Like all the other celebrity names I actually recognize, which isn’t a lot, but is some. Just...
I still remember well how I used to save everything: music, photos, eBooks, documents – just everything. The fear of missing out or losing something was simply too great. But at some point, I realized: I had everything, but I wasn’t...
For those of you in the UK. Do you remember who got the coveted Christmas number 1 slot in 2009? Do you remember how it came to be? I ask only because I randomly saw this post from my own blog. Thanks for reading and keeping RSS alive....
I was bored at work and made the mistake of asking a bunch of tankies why their flavor of socialism never worked. Such discourse is rarely productive, but it did get me thinking. My level of political awareness changes with the seasons....
Another quick update to Wasat, my Gemini Protocol client library for Python. With v0.5.0 I've added a method for getting the list of currently-trusted hosts, and also added a public property to the client class for getting access to the...
Started working on a flora section in cosmology, added incantations for hunting otters and reindeer as well as berry picking and milk luck and making leather and pottery, new blog post, page made for Hongatar and Laurukainen in deities...
In the face of impossibly large numbers of things to post about, rising by the minute, I will just pick little bits of stuff, so I will at least be telling you something. Now, about where I live now, on the third (top) floor of the Avant...
Ní haingil atá romham ná soilse an tslua,ná cór na naomh ag canadh os cionn na cré,ach seomra feithimh fuar is cléireach crom,is leabhar mór ar oscailt ar an mbord roimh ré.Ní fhéachann sé aníos, is ní ghlaonn sé m’ainm,ach scríobhann go...
The first things I noticed about 2029 First Avenue were the decorative lintels above the second floor windows. Attractively styled for window lintels on upper First Avenue, I figured this stubby holdout wedged beside two brick buildings...
Repeat that, repeatJames and I have come up with a collaborative writing project that you’re welcome to join as well! The idea is to share your thoughts on a poem through writing: there are no restrictions on the format, as long as you...
It has been interesting going back to work and getting up to speed with my new team’s systems, some of which are third-party and others are Very Much Invented Here. I find myself thinking about this quotation a lot: It seems that...
**Content Warning for mild medical stuff, mention of bloods, damning implications re: that girl being poison, and two guys named Jordan*** I had An Emergency yesterday! My tummybox had been a-twistin’ and a-crampin’ since Friday noon1;...
Got up at 9a.m. Cloudy at first but sunshine in the afternoon. Nell got a new carpet cleaner off Mrs Harris. Took Jane to see the animals at work. Dot took us and brought us back in the car.
It has been a bit since I updated this page, and quite a lot has changed since January. Some of it has been exciting, some of it has been hard, and most of it has happened while I was just trying to keep the normal parts of life...
Collaborative writing is rewarding. In the past few months, I’ve been writing a lot. Not as much here, but for Aphera. Between our newsletter, blog, direct email feedback, and social media networks, I might spin up a draft and then...
Este script para Bash (y otro para la shell Fish) muestra los datos metereológicos de una estación de Meteoclimatic Si hace unos días compartí por el blog el plasmoide que hice para mostrar esos mismos datos de Meteoclimatic en Plasma 6...
Eu não sou muito fã de carros. Ou melhor, eu não sou fã de carros modernos. Acho o design deles iguais e eu já comentei aqui sobre como terem as exatas três cores hoje em dia. Salve pouquíssimas exceções. No entanto eu também não sou fã...
PHP version stats: July, 2026 Written on 2026-07-09 Welcome back to another blog post about PHP's version usage across the community. You can read the previous edition here, but as always I'll include historic data in this post as well....
July 2026. Sheffield. It’s that time of year again, when local newspapers, even the subscription ones without clickbait, send reporters out to find your city’s top beer gardens, and invite comments from folk who like to reminisce about...
Working with lots of changes in parallel on git can be painful. You end up juggling branches and commits, and running scary rebase -i commands that can leave your tree in a half-broken state if you so much as sneeze. jj, an alternative...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Hope y'all had a great weekend! Mine felt exceedingly short. You see, a bigoted, elderly politician who has done untold damage to the rights of women, queer people,...
Replied to Using the Xteink X4, a minimalist e-reader by an author (Schemascape) I now find myself seeking out modern DRM-free e-books from more enlightened publishers. Here are some sources: For (mostly old) public domain works:...
Last Christmas, I published a short article titled My Gingerbread Man Soap Dispenser, which was, as the name suggests, about my gingerbread man soap dispenser. I had purchased him at a local discount store called Lot Less on December 20,...
Yes, that’s Pure Blog. Don’t look at me like that. And by the way, that’s Mister What The Hell Is He Up To, to you. 😉 Reply by email
A couple of weeks ago I read The Last Quiet Thing by Terry Godier, and it made me very conscious of what my devices were asking from me. I keep talking about seeking calm to everyone who’ll listen, and still I hadn’t seen it like that:...
A description of my blogging workflow, from idea to publish and more.

GravityLoops, my gravity simulator in Interlisp and LOOPS, can finally show something on the screen. The program now animates a body of mass like the Moon interacting under gravity with a body of mass like the Earth. The dots in the...
This was back in 2011. I had gone to India for a friend’s wedding and spent time in Japan. Kyoto was so beautiful and unique. Loved it. Kyoto Japan so long ago it seems

A brief tribute to my aunt, Dr Margaret Turnbull, who died recently.
“Americans are probably reading more words than ever before. What has changed is what they read, and how. People are bombarded with emails, text messages, X posts, Reddit threads, Instagram captions. This explosion of textual fragments...
Few things in life are more exasperating than seeing the potential in someone you love and seeing them continually fall short of it, stumbling again and again over the same self-erected roadblocks of character and conduct, comporting...
