Just randomly recalled that as a kid, we used to say ‘fainites’ when asking for mercy or a time out. I thought it was a weird word made up amongst some friends. It turns out that it was a real word used throughout southern England.
É estranho como hoje em dia parece tão difícil pra mim ouvir um álbum inteiro. Não sei se me acostumei com o tipo de lançamento de alguns grupos que lançam EP em sua maioria e eles tem em média 15-20 minutos. E esse tempo passa voando!...

I've released blogmore.el v5.3.0. This is a pretty small release but adds a command I realised I'd forgotten to add a couple of releases ago. Now that BlogMore has the concept of a post series, and now that blogmore.el lets you add and...
June 2025. Haydock. Merseyside. I can still get thrilled at a visit to a new place, even if it is a mining village north of St Helens. Genuinely, I’d no recollection of Haydock, bar driving past the racecourse, and that’s virtually the...

Another big 24 hour race this week, this time the Le Mans one. I’m usually not a WEC guy but this one is special, of course. Otherwise this week was a calm one, again. (Next week won’t. Foreshadowing!) Taskmaster Series 21 concluded,...

Emacs features have a discoverability problem, and we’re chipping away at it one demo at a time. The years since I wrote the last one of these have yielded more surprising and useful finds, so it’s time again for a “batteries included”...
This was created for a social-media spot, but it seems to deserve sharing here, which has become the poetry empire of YoursTruly. Now, who's to say that we should tell What's on our minds, to pull from the well Of thoughts and share with...

Good morning y'all. I saw that the Knicks won the NBA Championship. Rachelle and I actually watched part of games 3 and 4 mostly because Rachelle likes Mamdani. It's the first time I've really watched NBA basketball since Michael Jordan...

Let me explain. First, greed-driven, shareholder value-focused businesses turn the web into a cesspool. Then we're offered an option to pay for a cleansed version of it. I don't have an issue with someone asking to be paid for their...
