Gains without measurement. The weight fell off. Literally and figuratively, the device that now occupies my wrist is simple. It’s much smaller, tells the time, and the date. It requires no battery and is powered by my own kinetic...

I recently decided to fork and maintain a new version of the Gixy nginx security tooling, calling my fork Gixy-Next. The official website is https://gixy.io/, and the source code is available on GitHub at MegaManSec/Gixy-Next. The Python...
Dear reader,When I was scrolling the internet some weeks ago, I encountered this article by MakeUseOf, where the author boldly claims that people don't really want privacy even though they might think they do. As a privacy-advocate, I...

A weeknote? Yes, I think I'd say so. Certainly a note. Certainly about a week. Should qualify. The omelette really was very good.
My wife is a historian, and sometimes, she likes to look up really old German recipes. One of those recipes was for strawberry soup from 1752. “Durchklaube die Erdbeer, und wasche sie schön, zuckers nach Genügen; gieß gemeinen oder, so...

I can’t stop thinking about a series of blog posts by Eleanor Janega I read a couple of months ago. The first is called There’s no such thing as the ‘Dark Ages’, but OK, where she writes: The medieval period was not a period of...
Case aborda como reestruturei a arquitetura da informação de um ERP legado atuando na semântica e na estrutura — não na UI — para reduzir entropia, preservar estabilidade e criar uma base sustentável de evolução. O post ERP Desktop...
Recently, I've again started going to cinema quite regularly. My prior non-cinema-going wasn't because I'd strongly decided against it, but because, in general, the local cinemas are dry as the Sahara (or any other) desert with the...
Eu não sou o maior fã de futebol em jogos que existe. Eu acho que antes do ano passado aonde eu participei de um mini-microcosmo-campeonato-de-bomba-patch-20XX o meu último contato com jogos de futebol tinha sido no World Cup 98 do...
The weekend and the week were busy as we wrapped up at Thrissur, traveled, and got back to work after the holiday season. Uma’s school also restarted this week after the holidays. We are back to regular programming. Saturday was spent...
Photo by Siegfried Poepperl In 2025, and now in 2026, I've been leaving and will continue leaving several beloved services I once enjoyed. This series will chronicle my exits and remind me why I did it. First on the list: Twitter. A few...
I gave a short talk today to some students at Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College about AI, a career in tech, networking, and getting jobs in general! My friends Lilly and Johnson from FSH Tech are teaching a J-Term course at these...

Happy past Holidays everyone! I hope y'all had very lovely and pleasant holiday season last year. I had a delightful season myself, although very filled up, hence my total absence here. With my wife we saw 2 movies in cinemas in...
I started my timer, as is custom when I sit down to write. Usually, the timer sets off something in me that makes me able to come up with a structure for these entries on the fly, but this time I don't have much of a structure at all and...
When I’m having fun with a hobby, nothing kills my motivation faster than learning about a better, more efficient way I could be doing things. I was playing Fantasy Life i – chopping trees, making boots, fishing fish, and just generally...
I go to the grocery store at least twice a week because we are a house of 6 people, 4 of which are adult level eaters. When I make food there are rarely leftovers. (Unless it was a failed experiment where I gave an online recipe the...
Leí ayer que Genbeta ha cesado su actividad. Publicaron un artículo hace unos días que creo que no mucha gente entendió como una despedida, a pesar de la última frase. A mí me da mucha pena; Genbeta es de los primeros blogs que empecé a...
I did it! I finished it! And with that ending I NEED to start the next book NOW! 🤣
New year, same attackers. I’m kicking the Weekly Roundup back into gear for 2026 so we can track what actually matters: the patches worth prioritizing, the campaigns worth watching, and the patterns worth learning from. No...
Not even two weeks ago I wrote about “Reproducable Vibecoding” and that the specification as a permanent context to document all decisions is important. I just stumbled across the article “Notes on Six Months of AI-Enabled Building” by...
January 2026. Hastings. Hastings ? Again ?! Although the wonders of the Kent and Sussex coast are on our doorstep in Rye, they’re not much use if you don’t get out the caravan till noon. It’s still dark by four down here, and Hastings is...
As #LEGO are releasing the SmartBrick soon, it's a good time to point to this article from a few years back with IMO a much cooler "smart" LEGO brick with embedded screen and capacitive touch studs. Please, James Brown, sell me some of...

This was my longest length of time between Weeknotes but come on… you didn’t even notice, right? The holidays and new year were nice and I certainly enjoyed two weeks off from work. There was plenty of time with family and friends, nice...
Most Nooses weren’t built as extraction. They started as Ropes—legitimate coordination mechanisms solving real problems. Then time passed. Context shifted. The original problem disappeared or transformed. But the structure remained,...
Once again, Google threatens the 3 billion (!) Gmail users with Gemini (AI) features. This time, the change is dramatic: the inbox will be “smart”, which would be tempting if AI models were capable of summarizing correctly (they are not)...

The light was always there — our star is a hundred million years older than our planet — but it was learning to see it, to harness it, to transform it, that made this rocky planet a living world: photoreceptors converting sunlight to...
Escribir es una actividad que disfruto más allá de lo que se puede leer en este blog. Para ello, utilizo una pluma estilográfica Parker IM con punta F, entintada con Quink de color negro de la misma marca. Además, un portaminas Pentel...
Everyone wrote one of these and I wanted to too. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my incomplete projects, and then recently about my unproductive but joyful holiday break. And currently, I’m busy procrastinating on my media recap,...

Oh, I wished there were some rays of sunshine through all the dreariness, and I wanted everyone to wash their hands. It also took its sweet time revealing the final act, but I thought Hamnet was brilliant. I cried. +Currently Listening:...
Emma Orchard's debt to Georgette Heyer is evident throughout A Gentleman's Offer. Orchard, a former copy editor at Mills & Boon, makes this overt — she writes in her acknowledgements how she began with Heyer fanfiction during the Covid...

In my first post on contrast-color() I demo’d using color-mix() to change a background-color on hover, but I will be honest… mixing black and white isn’t always what you want. It would be cool and helpful to coerce contrast-color() to...
