Tak się zdarzyło, że w ciągu ostatnich miesięcy pracowałem nad wieloma projektami programistycznymi. Repozytoria leżały u różnych dostawców, musiałem więc użyć osobnych kont i metod autoryzacji. W moim przypadku były to jedno konto na...
Last time I wrote this out was…2023? I thought things had changed, but it looks like my days of frantic switching have subsided somewhat and this list has largely stayed the same. I’m still using Apple’s horrendous excuses for software...
I’ve been sick for some time — a terrible sinus infection that makes sleeping lying down mostly impossible, so I’ve been sleeping, immense amounts of time, sitting up in the comfy chair in my living room — sleeping fitfully, with...

Some of you who follow me are aware that I published Alcove last month, a privacy centered RSS reader. It follows the patterns of traditional RSS readers: categories, syncing, marking read vs unread, viewing content in-app, etc. One of...
Last Thursday, 11th of December, saw the launch of the new Digital Commons European Digital Infrastructure Consortium. In attendance were delegations from the launching member states (and the observers). Also present were the many...
This is my contribution to December’s IndieWeb Carnival hosted by V.H. Belvadi on the subject where do you see the IndieWeb in 2030, just five short years from now? And my answer is that it’ll probably be pretty much the same as it is...
Functions in binary files need to have unique names, so Rust needs to decide what to call its functions and statics. This format needs to be standardized so that debuggers and profilers can recover the full names (e.g. alloc::vec::Vec...

December 2025. Burgess Hill. If this blog had a Mission Statement, it it would be “to promote the UK’s lesser known highlights” (Leek, Leicester, Leigh) and to warn people away from Maidenhead. I was aware, from a half hour in Quench a...

AutoDescriptor: Added page description via AutoDescriptor bot In [[Blog/2025-12-01/Grounding Your Agent]] I talked about how grounding your agent allows it to make better decisions. This is akin to the approach you would take if you were...
A beloved, timeless classic
Social news aggregator Reddit has filed a lawsuit in the High Court of Australia, claiming the ban preventing Australians aged under sixteen using social media intrudes on free political discourse. The Australian Constitution does not...
2025-12-14（日） 回数：96/100 時間：10:30~11:50 地稽古：TS老师・MY老师・TG老师・IJ老师・SD老师 心得：在要进攻的时候保持身体稍微前倾，就像赛跑的「各就各位——预备」保有一定的紧张感，但在此时要忍住不立刻打击（日语中的「我慢」），在对方要打来的瞬间像发令枪响时出发一样做到打击。进攻的不要太紧张（尤其上半身），尽量不要让对方一下就看出你有进攻的想法，要做出看起来很放松的样子。...
It was July of 2009. Twitter wasn’t a cesspool yet, and I’d released two silly mashups using its API: Portwiture, which built a Flickr mood board from keywords you’d tweeted, and TweetPlus, which discovered where your friends were...
They fired Jannshek and Jannshek. Well, Shah did, but the company made him. I think he was able to choose who to let go, and the gallows humour going around was that it was easier to pick one name than two, a sort of psychological...
Kottke’s 2025 Holiday Gift Guide is worth a look. Were I ever to put together a gift guide, it’d definitely include these objects: Joshuvela’s Keyhook in Brass. I’ve had mine for many years and love it. Toyo Steel’s Cantilever Toolbox....
When Tennyson sat his Cambridge entrance examination, it consisted of four subjects – Latin, Greek, Algebra and Natural Theology. Of those, the first two are in steep decline, especially Greek, though 'classical studies' in various forms...
Nothing else to say than: “wish me good luck for next week”. See you on the other side. Books God’s Madman at the End of the World by Javier Cercas. Much to my surprise, the Vatican has never let a writer follow the Pope around during...
Many websites have a robots.txt file which instructs (often unsuccessfully) bots and web crawlers on proper crawling etiquette. We have a robots.txt file along with several less common .txt files. I previously wrote about adding...
Uhhm sometimes you realize how lucky you been buying your PC Upgrade at the right time. Shortly after Gamescom 2025 I upgraded my home desktop to new CPU and Motherboard also decided to make the jump from DDR4 to DDR5… I read about the...
Back in July, we participated in The Last Camera Project1. This past month, we were finally able to see our photo “developed.” I’m pretty excited to hear about the Grand Opening scheduled for early 2026, as well as the book slated to be...
This is the second post on a series I’m working on, regarding the black-box reverse-engineering of a Sun Microsystems Ray 2 Desktop Unit. The first post can be found here: Tickling a Sun Ray 2 - DHCP Discovery. New Findings In the last...
Why read the book? Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl follows Nick Dunne, who reports his wife Amy missing on their fifth wedding anniversary. As police investigate, clues point to Nick as a suspect, while Amy’s diary reveals a troubled marriage....
My son and I saw this in the theater last night, and we had a blast! The Yautja (the Predator's species) is the protagonist in this movie, and there's some comic relief throughout, both of which rubbed some OG Predator fans the wrong...
I’ve been thinking about the web and how it’ll change with the increasingly…uh…worrying decline of search. It feels like the order of their results can no longer be trusted, the web no longer reliably scraped. Instead, this essential...

Drive my car es una película japonesa que se estrenó en el año 2021. Basada en un relato de Haruki Murakami, ofrece un drama pausado, con elementos sexuales y tensión entre los protagonistas. Muy en la línea del escritor japonés....
I find this sort of thing fascinating. I looked for detailed info before my own surgery because I like to know what I’m getting into. If you’re grossed out by surgical/medical descriptions or photos, skip this one. So I had this spot —...
My girlfriend recently bought a Framework 12 laptop1 with a correspoding stylus and, influenced by my ravings about the power of GNU Emacs, wants to take handwritten digital notes on it for her engineering and mathematics classes and...
FINALLY Man I've been waiting for snow, like snow-ass SNOW for a loooong time; the forecast didn't have any on it (unlike last week when it said 2-3" and we got sleet) so I was pretty surprised to find a goddamn winter wonderland this...
The end of the year is rapidly approaching.As expected this week was a bit busy, but I think I’m more or less on track with my tasks. Still more busy days ahead. (Of course it didn’t help at all that instead of doing anything useful I...
8th December - 14th December Startled awake at 4am by who knows what. I hate 4am because it's too early for an early start but too late to go back to sleep. As I mentioned last week, the work bedlam continues. I have three full-time...
How We Lost Communication to Entertainment All our communication channels are morphed into content distribution networks. We are more and more entertained but less and less connected. A few days ago, I did a controversial blog post about...

Portrait of 17-year-old Arthur Rimbaud (making it clear he thinks you're dirt) by Étienne Carjat. Public domain image via Wikimedia Commons. My first real confrontation with Arthur Rimbaud was in a college French class, where "The...
Something that I've been thinking about lately: there is an immense difference in most prose written in the 21st century as opposed to the 18th-20th centuries. This is an obvious observation, but to me this difference is something that...
It’s Blogvent, day 15, where I blog daily in December! Leading a project without formal authority can be challenging. Having accountability on the success of a project without the authority to direct/prioritize its direction can be...
Ryushiki07’s Higurashi: When They Cry is one of the better-known Japanese doujin visual novel (or “sound novel”) series, with the original eight main entries having been released from 2002-2010. On November 25, 2025, Ryushiki07 posted on...
December is always a fun time here in Birmingham, AL, especially if you like shopping for books. With all of the Maker Fairs and local bazaars going on, there is always something to do on the weekends. What’s been fun is seeing all of...
During my trip down south, I learned a lot from completing the tournaments and taking a chance to try something new. Throughout the journey, I dealt with my fears and doubts, including some sadness about past mistakes and challenges I've...
In modern society, Simone de Beauvoir observed in her later years, “it is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life” — it is something upon which the vast majority of humanity looks upon “with sorrow and rebellion,”...
Used to be better at the Askov Finlayson café—couldn't capture that magic brewing at home, still a little bitter.
