Today marks two significant (to me) anniversaries. Coburg parkrun - 16 May 2015 Eleven years ago today I was timekeeper at Coburg parkrun # 1. It was a big monment saying “go” and seeing about a hundred people head off together on Merri...
Game dev is hard, but doing it badly is still pretty fun.
I am rebranding my personal Week Notes series.I haven’t done a Week Notes post since the first week of December. There were a few times recently when I wanted to publish one again, but I knew that restarting it would also feel like...
Well, this certainly turned my head (and my ears). The Unlikely Mariner by Cody Fry was something I wasn’t expecting at all, by sheer dint of the fact that this kind of music does not come along every day. It is a cinematic symphony,...
Birding at Dorey Park It's difficult to photograph birds at all times; it's especially difficult when they mostly live in the leaves. I did get this one decent shot this morning of a brown thrasher. We saw 33 species, including my...
Is Bitwarden preparing for a sale?by Jan-Lukas ElseJan-Lukas writes about the warning signs that Bitwarden might be heading for a private equity sale. The irony is that founder built Bitwarden because he didn't trust what happened when...
April Intro April 2026, the month including The New Leaf Journal’s sixth birthday, is in the books. The end of the month means it is time for our month-end review. In this article, I review the month that was in The New Leaf Journal and...

Readers of this blog probably know I have a very low opinion of generative AI -- a low opinion that seems to be shared by many many other folks. At least it's good to not be alone, even if every interaction we have with tech companies is...
Well, this week didn't quite go according to plan, so I didn't get to test out the Steam Controller straight after it arrived. This afternoon, after messing about with code and agents for a few hours, I decided it was high time I stopped...
Despite it being a good two years since I’ve made vim my only text editor again, I hadn’t really gotten deeper into using more terminal (or text-base) user interface (TUI) for a while. With Gemini I started reading gemtext, but that was...
Most of the many “…was the name of my high school band” jokes I’ve made over the years were verbal and are lost to time, but some were here on my website or on social media. Since I’ve imported pretty much all of my social media posts...
I share a design I made for the May 2026 Inkscape Challenge and some general instructions on how to use the Seamless Pattern Template.

I really enjoyed doing macro shots last time, so I did it again! To switch things up though, I swapped my Sony aIV frame with an old Nikon D5100 (my first DSLR). It was kind of a beast to work with. I used the same lens as last time, but...
A continuation to this post. I decided I would get a used bike from a local bike shop. I talked to one of the employees there and he offered me some interesting options. I felt a bit more sure of myself, I had watched a lot of bike...
Hi I was a dumb lizer whole day! I will share more photos when I get home, but it's been fun! Will cosplay bit more tomorrow and then it's trip back home. The character is my own sona. Yea its me
Here it is Sunday in this kingdom of wonder. Woke up with this little beer headache. The result of the evening beering last night. So I chose to do this longer walk to the coffee place I chose. This time to get a taste of Sunday. To feel...
May 2026. Whitby. Dave “US Dave” turned up just as Stafford Paul were contemplating the merits of the pubs across Whitby harbour. Slightly reduced merits these days in the Duke of York and the Board, as Whitby has gone full-on “small...

Like if you had zero obligations and money wasn't an issue, how would you spend your time? I work with a lot of older guys who are all coming up on retirement age soon, and some that are well past that but refuse to move on because they...
One of the established power features of the curl command line tool is its support for “globbing”. It is a built-in way to specify ranges and sets in different ways and have curl iterate over them to simplify repeated transfers. For...

To me, my sweetheart is a phenomenon. With two needles and an indefinite amount of wool in various colours, she whips up all sorts of little marvels at a speed that would take me just to get my fingers back in order. Most of the things...
I haven’t lost any weight—I’ll say that right off the bat. Or rather, I’ve lost just under 1 kg (~2.20 lbs). This public commitment I made to myself didn’t go as I’d hoped. I kept up with my swimming sessions, the occasional brisk walk...
I did a nice thing for a stranger today. I'm not going to bother saying what it was, or give any details about the interaction beyond saying that it cost me zero dollars, just a few seconds of my time, but still made a tangible...
Apesar de todos os problemas e as questões que permeiam os grandes modelos de linguagem (LLM), as questões éticas e a transformação no modelo de negócios e trabalhos, a popularização da inteligência artificial (IA) também trouxe...
Hiked part 4/20 of the Marskramer Path, 21.5 kilometres from Delden to Rijssen. You walk through the stream valley of the Boven- and Midden-Regge. The word regge means 'he who carries water' and impassable swamps once formed the...
In my work on Perfetto, a performance debugging tool, one question I get often is: “how do I split a Perfetto trace into multiple files?” Instead of answering directly, I say: “there isn’t an easy way to do that, but what’s leading you...
Aziraphale, now Supreme Archangel, seeks Crowley’s help as plans for the Second Coming take a surprising yet dangerous turn. I loved the idea of this TV series, but the finale turned sour pretty quick. Production value has decreased, and...
I'm sure it can't have escaped your attention that today is International Day of Light. I must admit it was passing me by until it got a mention on the radio this morning. I've no clear idea what it is – some kind of Unesco invention, it...
Să încep de la ce se știe sigur. În februarie, Michael Crandell, CEO-ul care a condus Bitwarden din 2019, a trecut discret într-un rol de consilier. Nicio comunicare oficială din partea companiei, niciun anunț public - doar o actualizare...
Thanks to my family for coming out this morning. It was fun sharing the birds with both the kids and adults. The indigo buntings and orioles were a big hit and it was really cool having the bald eagles to fly over for us. Even with the...
Took this picture on our way home on Thursday. Hope it makes you smile as much as me!

Back when we did things like “buy a cd and use iTunes to turn the music into mp3s” I used MusicBrainz Picard a lot to get all the metadata I needed. And then I kind of forgot about MusicBrainz.Turns out: it is still going strong. It does...

@foto de Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster Me encanta la elegante y bien articulada prosa, portadora siempre de una lógica alucinada, del eximio escritor barcelonés Enrique Vila-Matas. Sus libros no cuentan nada, al fin de cuentas, y lo...
I wrote a new puzzlehunt tool called puzlink.js, which I’ve hosted on my website. I thought about doing a post similar to my cromulence post where I talk about all the experimentation and implementation, and promite it and stuff. But I...

Bad news about Bitwarden. Apparently their CEO changed, and everything looks like they are preparing for a sale. Bitwarden has also stopped listing “Inclusion” and “Transparency” as tentpole values on its careers page. On his LinkedIn...

I've been thinking more about the future we might be heading towards if things continue the way they do, relatively unstopped, especially in regards to data harvesting and leaks, and how digitalized our society continues to become. I...
