Josh Withers, quoting Chris Martin, quoting a post he saw on Twitter: Treat your body like a data centre. Consume as much water and literature as possible. Upset local city councils with your existence.
My library in progress #3So happy with this! After playing with the flat version, I decided to apply the logic to individually cloned shelves, about 5 hours later this is the result! #blog #pixels #website #redesignThank you for following my feed! â„ Leave a reply here.
Heute gelernt: Kardamomsnurre. Das ist ein skandinavisches, kunstvoll verschlungenes HefegebĂ€ck (âSnurreâ bedeutet auf DĂ€nisch oder Norwegisch drehen oder zwirbeln). âSonne, Kardamomsnurre und Kaffee im Bettâ, schreibt Lili, und ich: âHeute möchte ich mich in ganz vielen kardamomsnurrigen Momenten rĂ€kelnâ, und, oh...
Aujourdâhui jâai Ă©coutĂ© Ă une chanson par Patricia Kaas qui dit «les hommes qui passent, maman, me donne jamais rien que dâargent» (plus sur la chanson ci-dessous). La superficialitĂ© caractĂ©rise les plusieurs affaires humaines. MĂȘme quand ils viennent et quand ils partent, les gens te donnent rien que dâargent. Ou...

đĄRead Dinosaurs Are Too Big now!So what do you have against heavy-duty, industrial sized dinos like the Triceratops? What did they ever do to you?!You know what, this is a valid point, it really isnât fair to the dinos to put this all on them. In real-life I have an intense amount of anxiety around motor vehicles. I...
Il disco del mese va ai Dreadnought con Wars of Spirit // Wards of Light: prog metal, folk e atmosfere psichedeliche!
Cuando me paso el peine por la cabeza sus dientes empiezan a escarbar en mi piel y entonces todo pensamiento se va, se esfuma toda la maraña, se desenreda al mismo tiempo que se deshacen los nudos del pelo. !Funciona tan bien! No puedo esperar a mostrårselo al mundo. Solo falta programar unas cuantas funciones mås,...
2026-09-23Hello!While doing menial office work, I found myself bouncing between twenty different projects and tasks. They're not challenging tasks, but the sheer number of incomplete things overflowed my capacity of clarity.I hate to talk about productivity or self-help, but given that this is a mere anecdote to my...
Iâve been thinking about where I stand in respect to the current state of the industry. This is more of a journal note than a post, apologies for that. I usually leave this stuff private, but I thought Iâd post this as a trial in case someone relates to this experience and feels less alone. All opinions are my own.
September 2026. Goldthorpe. South Yorkshire. A real ale gain in the unlikeliest of places, as Goldthorpe becomes the latest South Yorkshire mining village to get a micro, and a CAMRA Pub of the Season micro at that. What are those numbers below the letters ? Scrabble ? In a village of 6,051, any pub needs to appeal...
1:4 Itâs like a curse⊠on the first matchday after the coach was fired, the guys (finally) scored 2 goals and beat Fortuna Köln at home to nil, only then to concede 3 goals at home against Duisburg within 15 minutes of the first half just 4 days later. OK, MSV is currently at the top of the standings and on a hot...
Llevo ya unos meses trabajando presencial en oficina, luego de dos años trabajando home office. En este Ășltimo tiempo observĂ© como cambiĂł por completo el trabajo de muchas ĂĄreas con la IA y la forma en que las personas trabajan con ella en el trabajo diario. Veo que ahora hay muchos informes que se hacen de un...
In 1996, Street Fighter Alpha 2 was ported onto Super Nintendo Entertainment System, a 1990 machine on its way out and not really up to the task of running such a modern game. The team put up a hell of a job, involving adding a custom compression chip, with the game being much better than anyone expected â but still...
Iâve said in the past that I find posts written all in lower case to be hard to read, and I stand by that. I need a few capital letters here and there to get my bearings. But that doesnât mean I donât have an appreciation for lower case. In fact I downright prefer it. Capital letters have a boring lack of variety....
Consider a client who wants multi-factor authentication turned off because the extra prompts are getting in the way of work. The complaint deserves attention. The requested fix deserves scrutiny.Something may be wrong with the setup. A session policy may be too aggressive, a device may not be registered correctly,...
Whatâs a guilty pleasure song? I do not believe any pleasure is guilty. If something brings you pleasure then that is a good thing! Celebrate it!! I understand the thinking though, Iâm sure there are some songs that we enjoy that fall outside the genres most of our friends would recognise as âoursâ. For me, my...
The September 2026 release of CAP is out. This is the first minor release following the major release upgrade in June of this year, and brings CAP Node.js to 10.1 and CAP Java to 5.1. It's "only" a minor release, but goodness me there's a lot of great stuff. Let me take you through some of the highlights, which are...
Photographer Maya Barkai gathered dozens of depictions used at the green light of pedestrian traffic lights around the world and exhibited them outdoors in some cities in the early 2010s. She also made another collection with âmen at workâ images.
âThe poets (by which I mean all artists) are finally the only people who know the truth about us,â James Baldwin wrote. âSoldiers donât. Statesmen donât. Priests donât. Union leaders donât. Only poets.â No matter how slant they may tell it, that truth tells us back to ourselves, helps us tell each other what it is...

I met with a friend yesterday and the conversation got to what the next hype might be after the current bubble pops. We live at the height of the âAIâ-hype and bubble, the hype that took over from the short Metaverse hype which in turn came after the crypto bubble. And the main actors are often the same. The same...
â Problem statement: how to roll back a self-hosted app upgrade when its database migrations have no down path? A new release of an internal tool started to enforce a license limit that the old one did not. Pinning the old image back in GitOps was not enough: [ERROR] Migration failed - inconsistent migrations...

Eight years, and doneby Bryce WrayA departure post from Bryce where he talk about his exit from blogging and his motivations for doing so.Read post ⥠It's always sad to read these kind of posts. Yet another blog has fallen by the wayside, but I understand Bryce's rationale. I've been quietly following his blog for a...
I've more and more become passionate about trying different fiberarts, and it makes me want to be an advocate for crafting, especially when the world overwhelms. I'm a long time crocheter and knitter, and lately I'm adding more and more to my arsenal. I'm learning a lot of (sometimes ancient) crafts, and I love it....
Yesterday was a lovely day to go to apple orchards and pumpkin patches. I did look for the farm I didn't buy, the farm on the way to the orchard, which I blogged about in this post yesterday. The house no longer exists, and I'm almost sure that the property has been transformed into a housing development...
Actually a little sooner than I was expecting -- look what turned up today! When I saw this morning, based on tracking, that it had made it to the national distribution centre down in England, I was expecting it to head up this way today and perhaps be out for delivery tomorrow. But, no, a little later in the...
The anonymous source behind one of the stories the White House cited to justify banning POLITICO was none other than Vice President JD Vance, Status has learned. On Monday, Vance himself also defended the White Houseâs decision to ban POLITICO. âThey can still report on the Trump White House,â he told reporters....
I was listening to the episode âMake Your Own Thingâ from the Off Protocol podcast where Jim Ray interviews John Gruber. They cover a variety of topics, including Gruberâs thoughts on the dilution of personal brand by publishing through âchainâ platforms like Substack (I quite enjoyed the metaphor of a personal...
Happy birthday, Kathleen! Here she is at Sandhills with EJ in 2023. đ
I woke up this morning and saw my disk usage bumped up slightly. My first thought wasnât âmaybe I built something and it took up spaceâ, my first thought was âit surely fucking isnâtâ. I left it at that. I disabled siri, surely it mustâve not installed the bullshit models that are a time and space waster Then I went...
Whatâs the most spontaneous thing youâve ever done? Nice try, but Iâm not turning my blog into stateâs evidence. If I were to recount the most spontaneous things Iâve ever done, this post would read less like a casual musing and more like a tell-all memoir. Weâre talking about the kind of decision-making that makes...
There's a quote I saw somewhere on the internet around 2012 and I used to repeat to myself whenever I was preparing to give a talk at a university. I can't remember who said it, or even the exact wording. I've searched for it more times that I care to admit, but it either disappeared from the internet, or my...
