Like the falcon I shall live in cliffs and wild mountains there I will build my nest on the land that rejects the opportunists Through my everyday life I will demonstrate to people that honour cannot be sold integrity cannot be bought...
Când eram copii, adolescenți sau chiar adulți, și înainte să apară public inteligențele artificiale, când ne uitam la un film SF sau la un clip cu roboți și alte automatizări, sigur 90% din populația lumii ne întrebam sau ne gândeam cel...
It's hard to look away, even when Tori plays some deep cut you don't know, as the music is entrancing and everyone's locked in like a spell has been cast.Currently Listening: Tori Amos “Past the Mission”Reply via email
This has been updated with better links, better commands, and some extra optional advanced configuration tutorials. Notes about writing manuscripts in Markdown are after the conversion tutorials. You can also find other Shun Manuscript...
First: hi, this is the official Kaijuville entree into RSS Club. Email subscribers to this site got a second ping last week, because somehow while proofing my previous entry I managed to delete the last image and had to send a...
The last year I have been experimenting a lot with my computer setup. I used both Omakub and Omarchy for a while, and even tried Windows(!) and plain Ubuntu. All of the experimenting inevitably made me end up with the following setup:...
This storm was way out in the North sea and whilst quite active with lightning, it was really difficult to see through the haze and capture anything decent. This was probably the best shot from about an hours worth of watching. And a...
Every once in a while, I keep track of everything I read for a day or two, mostly out of curiosity about what I’m actually reading and how much I read online on a given day. It’s been a couple years! More at the bottom of this page. Via...
At the end of May I made a list of 12 games and decided that I should complete at least 5 of them. Here is what happened… 5/12 completed! The minimum requirements of the challenge were met. To be honest, I’m content with having completed...
I really enjoyed this fable of the product that’s built too quickly. I’m sure it’s extremely familiar to many of you. It’s the story of a startup that aims to build a next-generation oven. They get funding on the back of a pitch deck,...
Bouncerate (Absprungsrate) 98 % ,yes I canHi, ich bin die Ann Hané. Ich bin eine SEO-Beraterin, die auch eine Nahtoderfahrung erlitten hat, und die sich über diese Absprungsrate gar nicht wundert. Voilà, das bin ich. Unter dem Begriff...
Once upon a time, on a train in Spain, a man peered across the carriage and saw none-other than Pablo Picasso himself. Mustering his courage, he approached the debauched artist, “Pablo, why does everything you paint look so strange?...
I've just made a small but important bug fix to Rogallo. Currently, I'm working on a more comprehensive approach to managing client-side certificates and, in doing so, I noted a bug with how such certificates are currently created by...
My journey to using and programming computers started around 1983 with a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K, the very first I owned. At the time I was clueless. For example, I wondered whether, once I loaded a program from tape, I needed to write...
They’ve been dubbed the Maryland 400: a regiment of volunteers considered the state’s most disciplined and well-equipped military force. In July 1776, with thousands of British soldiers already in New York readying themselves for war...

A friend asked for help setting up a blog, so I went with #Pureblog (obviously). We went from nothing to fully working blog, with all the customisations she wanted in about 25 minutes. I know I'm bias, but I love how flexible and...
I really like the IndieWeb Is Punk initiative by Jim Mitchell, because the eight points in his manifesto express exactly what I think about the IndieWeb too. “Own your domain. Own your data. Own your identity.“ … “Have fun, or what’s the...
Of course it’s okay to criticize people for their tech choices — for returning to X, for instance, as MacStories recently did. I’m not on X and there’s no way I would return. Fuck that place and fuck Elon Musk. (Yes, there’s a...
Montag, 24.08.2026 Montag. Es zieht sich. Aber wir müssen das nicht tun, richtig? Also fangen wir ganz niederschwellig an. Vermehrt Schönes sehen, aber als Tagesziel. Ganz allgemein bin ich ja für mehr Flamboyanz im Alltag. Aber was weiß...
Web3, the ‘era’ of the web supposedly ushering in blockchain technologies and other such fluff, has undoubtedly been a bust. Perhaps not for the bank accounts of manipulators, but a bust in general. Blockchain has very few legitimate...
Apesar desse mês eu ter escrito mais sobre alguns CDs do que eu jamais imaginei, eu ainda salvei mais música pra compartilhar do que eu imaginei também. Eu achei que esse mês seria bem menos cheio de músicas do que os anteriores, mas pra...
♠ Problem statement: I often type commit (only) what you changed in coding agent harnesses. Can I make an abbreviation out of it? Pi turns a Markdown file in ~/.pi/agent/prompts/ into a /slash command. This one gives me /commit: ---...
Spent my down time at work today elbows deep in the files for my book in eternal progress. There are things in my notes that I’ve both completely forgotten about and that I’ve completely forgotten what I was going to do with. Happily I...
Dos años es muy poco para un blog, pero teniendo en cuenta que muchos son abandonados dentro de los 18 primeros meses, dejando la mayoría de publicar a los tres meses, dos años ya dejan de parecerlo. Otros blogs desaparecen por varios...
This is kinda silly to point out but here we are, I mean, yes a game will be best played using the controller it was designed around. This isn't a thing to dwell on, but I had some notes. This weekend I saw an ad for preorders of the new...
There’s an idea the old discussion forums, once a fixture on the web, fell out of favour because after a decade or two, people wanted a change. Social media was that change, and we all flocked there. But from the late nineties (though...
August 2026. Cardiff. I’d dragged Mrs RM down to South Wales for a few days to escape the monotony of that Yorkshire-Cambridge-Kent run, and treated her to a couple of nights in the Zip hotel on the corner of David Lloyds sprawling...
They're everywhere, we might as well photograph them As summer starts to trundle to a close (I know, I KNOW I'm mad too) I realized that I've accumulated several weeks worth of photos of random rabbits I've photographed while out on...
What is my north star to guide me?
I think about this all the time. I'm in my 50s, so Gen X. I grew up with great fucking music, y'all. And now all these Gen Z assholes get to discover all my favorite music, plus all the new shit coming out. God, imagine discovering Tool,...

I had a best friend in middle school. Our birthdays are two days apart, except I’m a year older than her. For two days every year, we would joke that we were the same age. It was one of those silly little things that probably didn’t mean...
A collection of old computer games that run directly from the browser. (Get ready for some big downloads.) Saw this link in the Codecon newsletter [pt_BR].
We’re back from the weekend with a new edition of the Pook-Emu Bee links. 1 | OpenAI builds dedicated ChatGPT experience for teens with parental controls and study features (Eric Revell for Fox Business. August 18, 2026.) This is...
Language is the chalice we lift to our lips to taste our own experience — a vessel that constrains what it contains by giving it its own shape. The more complex our experience, the more muddled the emotions that comprise it, the more it...
Earlier this month, the journal Philosophy & Public Affairs published an article largely written by an AI. [Rubén Núñez – “Kinetic Experiment”]The article was described as an experiment by the philosopher who submitted it, Simon...
Context: Placemark is a tool that lets you view, create, and edit geospatial (map) data. I ran it as a company for a while and open sourced it when I shut down that company.Yesterday Placemark got a pretty big PR from Birk Skyum,...
At least three literary birthdays today – Max Beerbohm (born 1872, a birthday I've marked more than once on this blog), Jean Rhys (born 1890, on the Caribbean island of Dominica) and Jorge Luis Borges, mentioned here the other day as a...
Since I’ve got an exhibition of my life-drawings coming up in September I’ve been thinking about the importance of observational drawing, and life-drawing in particular, within my artistic practice. The act of drawing plays an important,...
香港雞公嶺 🎵 你知道天空有多蓝 - 椅子乐团 The Chairs 上周二和女友去爬了香港 雞公嶺，之所以想去，是之前看到了一些別人拍的圖片，山頂大片的綠、天空大片的蓝，還有雪白得刺眼的 濃積雲，就像是宫崎駿動画裡的埸景，一直想去看看。要看到這樣的景色，得在夏天去才行，這時山上的草還是綠的，也更容易看到大片的好看的濃積雲。...
I don’t tend to follow the work of an author, whilst I read my fair share of novels (25-30 a year), I switch up between various categories as I’m more interested in the wordsmithery, the imagery, and the storytelling of a novel than the...
One of the topics I am currently investing a bit more research in, given my recent move to cut my hair, is razors, shaving, skull shaving, shaving blades, electric shavers, and everything around that. I even created a subpage listing the...
Tune in to other writers My overarching theme for this month has been music: I’ve been listening to it, playing it, and also writing about it more often in August. As the well-known quote, writing about music is like dancing about...
And that’s true! When I’m browsing someone’s personal website, I probably want to explore all their pages, and I feel like a sidebar helps much better than a navbar at doing so. There is so much more real estate that links don’t feel...
this has been an idea file in my blog folder for weeks, and today, it just wrote itself. The world is overwhelming, and it’s hard to find ways to deal with that. I know one way, a way that has been part of my life since my childhood:...
This is a response to James' posts about inspiration from physical artifacts and how to organize them. My home bookshelf is almost full, but it still houses a bunch of reference books that can be used for my creative projects. Most of...
The Paper Jam Comics Collective will be making comics at Jesmond Library this Saturday. Pop along and join in! Make a mini comic, join a drawing game! If you think you can’t draw you are doubly encouraged to join in.
Since we changed the plan, I decided to write on the first three days here and let it go. Then write our last two days. This is kind of a mashup on the days. A bunch of almost organized thoughts which may wander around a bit. Much like I...
Dass dieser Post nur 725 Wörter hat verrät vielleicht schon, worauf sich der Titel bezieht. Das Experiment findet sein vorzeitiges Ende, ich kehre zu ge- und bekannteren Formen zurück, jedenfalls ein bisschen. Habe in den letzten Tagen...
This is a first. I have NEVER shared a recipe with anyone, let alone online. Not because I am selfish, but because I am NOT a cook. Keeping that in mind, here is my recipe for "elevated" mushroom toast (made for my wife). Elevated...
El tipo tenía cincuenta años. A esa edad, quizá creía que ya lo sabía todo. Puede que fuera de los que piensan que ciertas advertencias son exageradas y que algunas prohibiciones coartan la libertad individual. Es posible que gozara de...
R's post on Cara's situation presented all the context that's needed, so please check that out (it's not too long, don't worry) and come back. I want to do something, and I'm sure most of you reading this do too. The issue is, odds are...
Today I was on vacation and I have been watching YouTube videos all day long for some reason. I could have finished a videogame or a book in all this time. However, I was watching a long playthrough of Outer Wilds. Because I have...

Modern IDEs let you jump from project to project with ease. Neovim doesn’t have this feature, so folks usually keep a few terminal windows or tabs open or jump between Zellij or tmux multiplexer panes. As you can imagine, there are also...
I linked this article by JA Westenberg in my last linkdump, and in it she mentions that she has a "How I AI" section on the about page of her blog. A different post I read this week talks about the authenticity of digital art in an age...
