Sunday came, Sunday went, but the notes can be week notes any day they want to be. Current situation: A LIE. This photo is from Sunday when I started these and then did not finish them. It’s Monday now and I’m in bed with rice water...
Últimamente he estado tratando de escribir más, cosas además de mi blog, cosas para mi, pero también cuentos y poemas que en algún momento de mi vida compartiré cuando me sienta cómod@. Además de esto he estado leyendo más, sobre todo...
So today is the day, today is when GitHub Copilot swaps to its new billing system. Watching the relevant subreddit suggests this might not be popular. Some folk think it isn't the smartest move. Some don't feel too friendly towards it...
Last week, I had the pleasure of helping a bit with the delivery of a workshop on “open tools for the production and use of cartographic data” in Venado Tuerto, that Silvina Meritano organised as part of her role as community ambassador...
I have proposed BoF (Birds of Feather) session and discussion at IndiaFOSS/2026. The proposal is yet to be approved as of today. I am logging the same content here for readers of my blog post and also for record keeping. I will update in...
The following is taken from a private exchange. I am publishing it with permission from my correspondent without disclosing their name and contact details. I was curious, what is your general approach to learning something new? For...
You are not your job. This might be a harsh reality for some of you, but a lot of people need to accept that as the truth. When you're meeting someone for the first time, how do you describe yourself? Do you talk about your hobbies,...
One often overlooked benefit of journaling is recognizing our own thinking patterns. Because journaling records our thoughts, after some time we should have an index of the things we think about. We can use this to our advantage to...
Isn't it typical? Last week I probably lost a few pounds working a six-day'er in that heat, with gardening at both ends, tonight I got rained on! Anybody would think the weather's trying to get rid of us . . . oh! Still, before we slip...
Este puede sonar a posteo para nardos, pero les aseguro que, aunque no sepas nada de programación, tiene que ver con la seguridad de las contraseñas de todos. Hace muchos, muchos años me había comprado un...
My mom does not really “keep up” with pop culture. However, she does have great taste—which means that when she recommends a book or movie, I pay attention. Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series is one of those recommendations, so...
Eu tenho reparado que nos meus últimos textos eu não sei escrever. Não no sentido de falta de palavras, mas sim no sentido de que não sei organizar meus pensamentos na reta final dos textos. O começo eu geralmente tenho todo o texto...
May 2026. Cluj. Transylvania. Another nervy wait for a mini-bus at Targu Mures bus station, regretting that morning craft beer/coffee combo before a 2 hour trip to Cluj to complete our Romanian road trip. It’s not so much that the buses...
Whenever someone talks about how they let AI improve their writing, I realize we are still taking the wrong things away from what good writing supposedly is. Not that I am the arbiter of good writing, but we can agree that at its core,...
As regular readers of this blog know, I’ve been trying to catch up with this series for a few years; I was hoping to be ready for this year’s release, but what with one thing and another, I’m still a couple of books behind. So, here we...
Check out As in guillotine... for more. In which I briefly comment on the books I read each month, so a few years from now when I’m trying to remember one of them, I’ll be able to find it here. Since I’m a media omnivore, it also...
Hello and welcome to the new iteration of this site. Let's kick things off with two SciFi books I've read recently. Dangerous Planet I came to this collection with zero expectations. Heh, Soviet short stories? What will they do? Sell...
Discovering podcasts Way back in the mid 2000s, I was still a mildly successful DJ under my alter ego of DJ Cruze. I was regularly travelling to Germany and playing at various clubs and I wanted to share my mixes with a wider audience,...
Let me tell you a story I go to check my email in Gmail’s web UI. I see a few new messages regarding feedback on a project I’m working on. I click through to read one of them and the first thing I’m greeted with is a message summary I...

During the Brazilian Internet Forum (FIB16), in Belém, Pará, I carried a backpack to the convention center with basic items to spend the day there, do the work I was hired to do, and when I had some free time (which was rare), take a...

It’s 6:15 am and I am awake early for the first time in decades. The sun is just barely peaking over the apartment buildings that surround my house, omitting a blurred sheen of blue- gray light, I nudge my dog to wake up and he rolls...

June 1, 2026 For my Drafts friends: FlohGro Every other year I get the urge to change the look of Drafts for me a bit. My Catppuccin themes, especially Catppuccin Mocha, were probably the most loved ones for me until now. But once again...
本月摘要 黄金周见了从高知来的朋友，一起去喝了葡萄酒。已经是第三次去阪神楼上的活动喝酒，渐渐喝得出什么样的好喝了。 除了月底几乎没有外食外出的一个月，为女朋友的申请做了一点微小的贡献，睡眠不足了半个来月。 在睡眠不足的这段时间里，发现自己确实是有一些天赋，今后可以放大这些优势，但是目前还没有一个明晰的想法。 月底去了一次东京，观战了第一届亚洲大洋洲剑道比赛。馆长变得更厉害了，打了竹之内选手一本面，中国剑道也是越来越好了。 在池袋的 Book Off 激情淘了 6 张...
There’s a question that sounds practical and turns out, on inspection, to be the wrong shape. The face it wears is: given that none of us see the world from nowhere, given that every view I hold is a view from somewhere — how do I choose...
2026-06-01Hello!I got back from the New Jersey Renaissance Faire, which I like talking about purely to gloat to my friends (you know who you are) who weren't able to go. I had a great time and I'll be sure to come back next year. Stories...

You probably know the ones: they feel sort of suedey when they’re brand new, but they don’t stay new for long. I work in a public library, and believe me, these covers are grime magnets. Today I handled several that had accumulated a...

上手倉頡輸入法 最近在學倉頡輸入法，分享一下我為什麼學，以及我是如何上手的，也通過寫博客进行打字練習。 大多数人最先學会的中文輸入法应该是全拼，只需要记住 26 個字母，知道字的拼音，就能熟練使用，上手难度是最低的。缺點是重碼率高，即相同的拼音可存在多個候选字，需要选择实际想打的字。 全拼我用了很長時間，後來換成了双拼，双拼也是按照拼音打字，不同之处在於每個字只需要兩個按鍵就夠了。例如， 倉 字，全拼是 cang ，需要四個按鍵，而双拼是 ch...

I think that there is an equivalent of the good/quick/cheap job triangle, but for written communication. It’s the precise/succinct/simple triangle. Perhaps (in most cases) you can only have two of these at any time – it’s a trade off we...
