Hace poco en este blog había mencionado que me encontraba usando Bluesky después de haberme tomado unas vacaciones del fediverse, para cuando escribí eso llevaba como un mes ahí. Pero la luna de miel se acabó pronto, bueno, no del todo,...
A few days ago OpenAI released Sora, which was not only the latest version of their video generation model, but also a social app. Humans sign up, but the only content is that generated by users through AI. If you’re like me, the very...
I had planned to install Ubuntu Touch on my Google Pixel 3a XL. While I did eventually install Ubuntu Touch, I first had a brief adventure with Droidian.
Added this to my Salvation of the Reader essay as footnote: Hoe lossen we de leescrisis op? - NTR Wetenschap : the end of this video is exactly what I mean about starting with the love of reading, explaining what they read and why,...
Neighbors waved me over as they were stoking a new fire pit. We chatted about work, technology, current events, shared recipes and regarded color of the light on clouds.
already talked about that here. I'm kinda suffering from a creative block season and this is the main reason that I kinda stopped looking at this place, even though this is not a part time thing or I'm even aiming to earn money or...

Just some brief stuff:
How to jailbreak Microsoft Surface RT or 2 (Tegra ARM 32 processor) and install Linux, with Raspberry Pi OS, based on Bookworm. Using Yahallo, Golden Keys and Open Surface RT. The process is a bit choppy, but eventually in part 2 I will...
When you create this file on macOS: % touch ~/.hushlogin New shells spawn without noisy (hush! hush!) login messages. Nelson illustrates it with a couple of screenshots.

September 2025. Sale. What a joyous thing the Beer Guide is for alternative UK tourism. BRAPA in Rochdale tonight, and me in Sale a fortnight ago. I thought I was struggling keeping the blog up-to-date till I saw Simon is still in...
Today is a public holiday in Germany, as we celebrate the reunification of East and West Germany that was finalized 35 years ago today. It's kind of unbelievable to think that when I was a child, Germany was divided into two very...
I crashed and burned like crazy yesterday. I think I ended up going to bed at around 6:30 PM or so. I came home from Starbucks and immediately wanted to fall asleep. On the short drive home, I was extremely frustrated at how tired I was....
Today, I added a bundling script so that the common JS output from the Purescript files can be run like a (node) executable. With some basic esbuild configuration and this line: spago build && node bundle.js && chmod +x...
One of the things I’ve noticed in a lot of adult fiction, is that authors tend to have their characters swear way too fucking much. Now, I’m not opposed to swearing. I think that it adds flavor and personality to dialogue that would be...
i thought of marriage as dramatic entrances. flowers in our garden, roses in my car seat weekends by beaches and city lights pretty smiles. intertwined limbs, endless kisses in every corners and gaps yet marriage is constant barrage of...

The people at Kurzgesagt are pretty clued-up. They must learn a lot, about everything really, in their line of work. As a result of this ceaseless learning, they might have found a way, for whatever lifeforms are still present, to evade...
For most days of the year, the name of my website – James’ Coffee Blog – is followed by a coffee cup emoji. But, on some days, the coffee cup emoji changes. I have a calendar of events for which the emoji changes, including International...
Sometimes I set the bar so high for myself that anything short of flawless feels like a failure.
In previous entries I explained how I have reworked the modus-themes to optionally work as the basis for other theme packages. The official documentation is in the manual of the Modus themes (my manuals are the only source of truth; blog...
"Loggietta" from the "Habiti d’huomeni et donne venetiane", published by Giacomo Franco, c. 1610.
I noted in my most recent New Leaf Journal article that I am temporarily daily driving Ubuntu Touch on my phone. One problem on Ubuntu Touch is its limited native app selection. But that may not be a problem for my feed reader. I run my...
