May 12, 2026 I’ve been refining my file-over-app workflow lately. For things like blog posts, daily notes, journal entries, and notes, I prefer working in a markdown text editor. In my case that’s MarkEdit. At the same time, most of the...
This post by Daniel Gilbert immediately resonated with me, because I struggle with procrastination and have found AI tools to be surprisingly helpful in overcoming it. I have a stale task waiting to be done, but I just can’t bring myself...
Firedove is Anna Lapwood's release from 2025, a rich set of works for the king of instruments. It runs to 76 minutes across 15 tracks on Sony Classical. It came to me long after release and earned its place. Why listen? The playing is...
Building this blog was the work of several evenings of hyperfixation. Agonizing over every small detail felt strangely delightful rather than burdensome. I’ve always told myself I’m not a creative person in any sense of the word, but...
To provide some context, I have a long-term goal of becoming a solo game dev, but I’m new to animation. I haven’t even read The Animator’s Survival Kit yet! 🙀 Still, I’m interested in the tools that are available. Moho ❤️ So what...
Okay maybe this is platforming heresy but when I was little I hated the “coyote time” in platforming games. Still do. It’s there in order to make the game more welcoming and forgiving atd I applaud that sentiment but what happened was:...

I have another busy day ahead of me, but we cannot forsake our daily Pook-Emu Bee links. 1. Syncthing 2.1 adds group organization and proxy support options (Fla for AlternativeTo. May 12, 2026.) I approve of having “the ability to group...
This week was definitely characterized by a return to a lot of nostalgic things. No complaining, you will see what I mean as you read :P 🤱 It was Mother’s Day in México! I feel bad because I didn’t do breakfast for my mom. But the rest...
2026-05-12Hello!I was hesitant to take this image, because it's just some leaves that I see all the time. But I'm sharing it today because there's a chance that there's a reader that doesn't see this all the time. I go to gardens and see...
Following up to my agentic consent piece, a reader (Shugo Nozaki) shared with me some interesting perspective around human consent (both by email and post) that I felt like was worth exploring and discussing! He pointed out that while...
Almost two months ago, I switched back to Ubuntu as my primary operating system. While I still have a Windows 11 VM, I never really use it. Ubuntu 26.04 fits all my needs I had since switching to it. While I installed it during the beta,...

May 2026. Sheffield. I’m no glory-hunter. Not for me the trip to Crewe Alex to see Cambridge United promoted. I couldn’t get a ticket. I chose the last Saturday of the grass roots season to watch “Proper Football”. Bramall Lane, home of...

RSS feeds are really great and I use them a lot for keeping up with personal blogs, corporate tech blogs and what's new at AWS. I don't think there's any other medium, apart from maybe email, that's so scalable, easy to understand and...
Not much to share, but I had two nice fights. And I saw cool things in the game. Was just roaming about with my Hookbill as usual, until I spot a Catalyst Navy Issue. Ended up being rather tight fight, but I managed to stay in right...

For years I've been having a love-hate relationship with Instagram. I'm still there because I value the interaction with my friends, some of them remote, but I'm always annoyed by the quantity of ads that show up in my feed. Now that I'm...
Micah Nathan: Writing, I told them, isn’t supposed to be easy, and of course it can be tedious but that doesn’t make it rote. Writing isn’t just the production of sentences – it’s the training of endurance by way of sustained attention....
I never understood what people meant by “strategic thinking” or “being strategic.” I couldn’t accept the feedback when I heard “you need to think more strategically” as well. Nobody could explain what that “strategic” word meant. I...

I read a story I wrote and published last evening: https://protesilaos.com/books/2026-05-12-mask-of-phantes/. It is about a magic mask. Whoever wears the mask gets all the attention. The themes I explore in that publication are about...
I drew this from a photo of Derwentwater taken by my partner’s sister. Digital drawing using Sketchbook on my tablet. There’s a lovely brush called tattoo inker that I used for the outlines. It feels very nice to draw with. I actually...

One of my morning things along with the coffee is the writing. My journal grows every day and since it’s merely a markdown file that is edited in iA Writer, it’s easy to manage the spiral of words. I get a new chance at it every morning...

Man, novelty sucks. I think I feel this way because whenever something new gets introduced in my life, I get so into it for a little while, and then once the dust settles, it just gets tossed into the proverbial dumpster. For me,...

Este post del blog Rubenerd, que a su vez cita este toot de @evacide en Hackyderm, me parece una reflexión corta y acertada, sobre todo para los que empezamos a movernos por Internet a mediados de los 2000. En general ya sabéis que me...
