The tote bag was crocheted without a pattern, I couldn't find any online that I liked! The white part is a pocket too. In the future I'll try drafting a pattern for it -- again. (Left to right): Thrifted Swiss Gear wallet Paperback (One...
Ese fenómeno se está dando ya en la literatura de nuestro país con una proliferación de autores, entre la veintena y la treintena, que con frescura, originalidad y riesgo han armado novelas que, sin renunciar a la...

Not sure if it’s the GTK versions or Wayland or Hexchat has been left unmaintained for so long, but it’s pretty slow when I switch buffers from ZNC. I happened to look for alternate GUI IRC clients (I use weechat on the headless server...

I don't like to repeat myself too often, but I see that on this day five years ago I was writing about John Gray's rather wonderful Feline Philosophy: Cats and the Meaning of Life. I'm looking after (i.e. feeding) the Lichfield family's...
i've fallen into a paralysing habit of jotting down, sitting on and ultimately hoarding a series of my past thoughts. thoughts that bubble to the surface and gnaw at my consciousness, mostly when i'm out and about, that i mentally...

These notes on these two books by Fenner Brockway were originally in Books I Read in 2025 Part 2 but I've taken them from there and put them here in their own post. Fenner Brockway, Towards Tomorrow To return to the High Wycombe theme...
I've messed around with alcohol stoves for years since they're fun to mess with. There's no end to new designs. Some have amazing craftsmanship while others are mindboggling simple. The classic Fancy Feast stove is no more than a cat...
22nd December - 28th December There are definitely two Tawny Owls in the village as I heard a distinct and prolonged call-and-response over some distance; one faint over the fields but the other in a tree right over my head — loud and...
In my recent post on the Keyboard Maestro episode of Mac Power Users, I needed a screenshot of a Typinator window and had trouble getting what I wanted. I tried using my SnapClip macro, but I found that when the macro’s user input window...
New Wallpaper - Threading The Needle Following on from my last post I have managed to find the time to put together something new in 2025 so I am finishing the year the way I intend to continue through 2026. Actually making some art!...
Looking back on the media I consumed in 2025, this is a list of just my favorites. 🎮️ Games Dragon Quest V I was always a Nintendo kid, and have played very few Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy games. I’d heard that is one of the best, and...
I haven't written much the last few weeks. A lot going on. The holidays. My daughter's college graduation. Travel. But, that's okay. I'll get back on track soon. My struggle (or blessing) right now is that there are so many things I want...
The shadow of trees in the afternoon sunlight. 午後の日差しに照らされた木々の影。
A fear that I have with writing these entries, especially at this frequency, is that I circle the same few topics over and over again and that I lack the ability to say anything unique with each entry. To me, this fear stems from much of...
For the holidays, I gave myself a little experiment: build a small web app for my wife to manage her travel itineraries. I challenged myself to avoid editing the code myself and just do it “vibe” style, to see how far I could get. In the...
December 2025. Manchester. Walking back from the City v Hammers match I got a text from Matthew; “Fancy a beer ?“, which is exactly the sort of thing you hope a child will grow up to ask you. Quosh had recommended a new brewery tap under...
i'm currently in a brief break where i don't really have any real responsibilities for a month. i don't really have to go to uni and there aren't any classes to attend or exams to take. this was supposed to be a relaxing time yet i feel...
2025-12-26（金） F桑，小我两岁的我的益友良师，K剑今年最后一次稽古最先就找她地稽古了。过程中再次发现自己的架构还是有些偏，她建议我把往右转一下腰，结果竟然有奇效，感觉立刻就对了。中段的架构是左脚在后，所以身体会有点向左后方向偏，以脊柱为轴往右转一点身体才是正的，调整之后再做打击会有左腿→腰→左手连在一起的感觉。...
Está bien descansar en esta temporada. Está bien no hacer "nada". Haber sembrado durante el año y disfrutar de la cosecha. Está bien dejar de hacer lo que hace la mayoría. Dejar de seguir apariencias. Seguir relaciones que quitan más de...
We spent most of the month in Sri Lanka. It is becoming our annual tradition to travel abroad for the Christmas season. What a country, I’m telling you! People in Sri Lanka are incredibly kind. No matter whether they are wealthy or...
Improving engagement of your online content can come down to how it's previewed on social-media services. If you're like me, and not keen on creating these open-graph images by hand for every post then you can generate them...
I like to read. I like to listen to music. I like to watch other people build stuff and make cool things. I have a lot of likes. I think that’s true of everyone. The question I’ve been asking myself recently, however, is what am I...

I wrote this some time ago while on a train; didn't feel like posting it in the moment, for some reason. I’m on a train. I’ve been itching to write for a while, but it’s difficult to discern whether I actually have something to say, or...
It's a gross, rainy, wet, muddy day here on the World's Tiniest Farm. But I needed carrots and it's about to be a gross, snowy, icy, muddy night and rest of week here, so I picked up my spade and went out to the front garden to get some....
I began this year exclusively watching movies from the soviet era to mostly falling for the novelty of 2025 release dates.
Recently Sourceware had to disable git clone over HTTP due to an attack where lots of random Git clients are cloning repositories. This was surprising to me, I thought the Git client didn't need any smarts on the server and most of the...

October:Hallowe'en Party by Agatha ChristieI re-read this for the Halloween episode of Shedunnit, and was pleased to find it better than I remembered. There's a folk horror, pagan element to it that I rather enjoyed.Third Girl by Agatha...
Me gusta escuchar la radio. He escrito unos cuantos posts sobre el tema, por lo que no os pillará de sorpresa. Y de entre todas las emisoras, he ido encontrando algunas que me gustan especialmente, aunque reconozco no ser demasiado...
Nesse mês saíram notícias de que a Prefeitura de São Paulo começou a instalar câmeras de reconhecimento facial do programa Smart Sampa em unidades do CAPS, o que resultou na prisão equivocada de um paciente. Que coisa, né. Imagina só...
Here we go, the final week of the year.As I pondered already all the way back in June I wasn’t near any family on Christmas for the first time ever. Instead I was near a beach with friends, having BBQ at a resort while a band played...
And that’s it for 2025. It was the year i finally quit my job of sixteen years. I’m grateful to have worked in an environment where i was able to (re)invent my job to tackle the biggest issues facing journalism at the moment –...
