I’ve heard this claim now really often: at conferences, in keynotes, even in casual conversations: “With AI, we’ll soon only need to work two or three days a week.” The narrative is seductive, I admit: technology will finally liberate us from the grind, freeing up time for creativity, family, leisure, hobbies – who...
According to the astrologers of the internet, Saturn – that stern planet whose job it is to teach us hard lessons – is leaving my sun sign this week, having been camped out here since 2023. Saturn is a hardass teacher, and whether you believe in astrology or not, I can confirm that the last three years have been...
Ooooh and Aaah at the new KDE release, KDE 6.7! With PlasmaLogin instead of SDDM...
In Dreams Here I play music from the movie Lord of the Rings. Original music by Howard Shore. Mostly played from sheet, with some enrichment of my own.
The main idea here is you post once on your own website, and automagically your content is displayed across the Fediverse (Mastodon, Flipboard, Pixelfed, WordPress, and Threads).
Note: I’m a Brit with a huge self-deprecating streak. So I find some of what I have written here really quite cringey and embarassing. But as I worked hard on some things, and did good at some things, I want to show off for five minutes. I hope that’s OK. I’ve been invited to speak at a fairly prestigious...
Esta semana que parece que ha vuelto el buen tiempo ha habido más actividades outdoor. Paseé un poco, el viernes vi el estreno de un documental sobre la trashumancia, el sábado estuve viendo pasar un rebaño de ovejas que se va a hacer la trashumancia al norte (fueron unos días temáticos), vi algún concierto, oteé...
I took a few days off around the past weekends and turned them into four and five-day weekends. Things were pretty uneventful, but I wasn’t too productive - just being lazy, having a drink or two every other evening, binging on shows and movies but very little gaming. The game I play obsessively had a release right...
Dear Ciara, There is a single name on everyone’s lips this morning: Narelle. Cyclone Narelle made landfall overnight, bringing with her devastating winds and the most torrential rain. We are lucky—we are far enough south that we are mostly out of her reach—but her presence can still be felt. The rain at home is...
After about five months of AI bots hungrily munching on my blog’s free training data, they seem to have abruptly stopped. It’s a good sign, but given they seem to be hammering most other sites on the web, it’s somewhat odd. Here, I have a quick look at the numbers to see what’s been happening. An AI bot, bored of...

I did a telehealth call this week about some third-party blood test results. As with most things in your forties, the cure is to lose some weight, exercise, and get better sleep. For whatever reason I feel like this might be the year I pull it off. 🤞 My brother-in-law told me about a woman who was arrested and...
