Hi everyone. It’s nearly 11PM as I type this and I originally didn’t intend on writing a blog post today. Then, however, I learned that WordPress is intending on phasing out the classic editor (thanks Di for the heads-up) I almost...
This is a new single-prompt Codex time record for me: 7h 49m 2s. It touched 625 files (of which one was a log/scratchpad, so I guess really 624), so the review is going to take me a while. But at least it wasn’t me touching 625 files…
. Somehow my life has organized itself into one big project per year: 2026: The very first record by The Air Contains Honey 2027: My next novel Desire Without Expectation 2028: The new PME-ART show How Does Change Happen? .
Four weeks ago I was in downtown Manhattan for the world premiere event for C++: The Documentary. It was great to see two theaters full of enthusiastic C++ developers, and getting to mingle with them all before and after the film....
This week was a bit on the warm side wasn't it? This meant I didn't really have much energy left for things outside of work, and staying cool/alive... I think we got to the upper 30s last week and the UK hit hottest June day records...
by Nathaniel R First still from WERWULF. Can it follow in Nosferatu's footsteps and receive craft nominations? We started with Costume Design (we're partial to those threads, don'cha know) but now the rest of the first round predictions...
Everywhere you turn, there's advice pouring from every media orifice. Indeed, there is a concerted campaign running through unnamed (naturally) Labour MPs, the right wing press, and former military brass saying what Andy Burnham needs to...
Status: Spent a lovely afternoon in the garden enjoying the cool breeze, at one point considering fetching a hoodie. Madness. Have been thinking about this blog a fair bit this week. Nothing too concrete — I’m very happy to let it slowly...
What I’m about to share will age me. And while a new development with my health isn’t really good, I somehow feel like I’ve advanced or graduated to more maturity. Maybe it’s like I earned a merit badge? Weird. Well, Friday I found...
While I am hard at work on getting one more big post done before the end of June, I wanted to write up this quick housekeeping matter because I think it will be of interest to people who read this site.When I first started Thrilling...
Been on a kung fu film kick as of late. Old favorites like drunken master and master of the flying guillotine along with watching more obscure or modern films. I think my two favorites are kung fu hustle and master of the flying...
I had a great week driving the Miata back and forth to work. Whatever compunctions I had about the straight-line power are vanquished. No, it’s not as fast as the Mustang, and where I live, in southern NJ, we have a lot of long, straight...
Had a better time at basketball on Monday. It was a fairly low bar, so after a made a lay-up off the first possession I'd already surpassed my own expectations. Was slightly concerned that the sports hall might have been a furnace with...
There are good ideas, bad ideas and the ideas I get when sitting on a couch holding the paw of my dog for two weeks (while she is recovering from surgery). One thing I am really not a fan of is the current landscape of CalDav servers. So...
Another Monday Message Board. Post comments on any topic. Civil discussion and no coarse language please. Side discussions and idees fixes to the sandpits, please. I’m now using Substack as a blogging platform, and for my monthly email...
