Lately time has seemed to march to a strange drumbeat. The house discourages me so I tend to go walking sooner. It was before I would leave at 830 and get back around 11am. Normally after that I was just at the house unless I decided for...
emmaburnett.uk via bookshop.org It’s been two weeks since my novella was released, and the actions of my publisher, and the online response this has generated, have made it impossible for me to market my book. From what I can tell, the...
The Oculus Go was Oculus’ (now Meta) first attempt at a standalone virtual reality headset. Indeed, it was one of the first commercial attempts at a standalone VR headset entirely. By contemporary standards, it is extremely obsolete,...
I wanted to visit TVC to monitor the construction of the house and help Kiran set up the fiber backbone for internet connectivity. TVC is roughly 90 kms from MG Road. It’s a good distance with a variety of road conditions to test my...
A collection of links found around the web. This time we have three sections, inspiration to do things – things that have inspired me to do something, visual niceness – things that I enjoyed looking at, and creative play – things that...
I noticed the first drops of rain from this event riding back over Wanstead Flats from the Holly Tree around 10pm, thoughts of Messi’s majesty in Argentina’s win against Austria fast being replaced by watching clouds bubbling overhead....
Me ha llegado el perfume de verano de 2026 de Ffern. Me gusta esta marca y su posicionamiento, y como al intentar salirme del ledger me ofrecieron una versión más pequeña (y bastante más barata), decidí quedarme alguna estación más. Me...
Meta — the same company that declared in 2021 that by now you’d be living in the “metaverse” — sold a few million camera glasses for pervs and, all of a sudden, the next future envisioned by Mark Zuckerberg’s unhinged mind is one where...
A compilation, although it omits some well-known cases (such as Mullenix v. Texas, and Carson v. Texas).
You’re forgiven if you assumed 58 Joralemon Street was just another beautifully restored Greek Revival row house in Brooklyn Heights. Built in 1847, it resembles many of the elegant single-family houses on the block, with its red brick...
“ Padre no es el que fecunda , sino el que cría “ . Es una de las tantas frases relacionadas con la responsabilidad paternal , aunque la frase o el refrán en si mismo, describe una de las características en las que la figura masculina...
Ten post zacząłem pisać 15 czerwca, a skończyłem tydzień później, ponieważ w miarę pisania odpalały mi się w głowie kolejne wątki, które chciałem zawrzeć. Finalnie wyszła ściana tekstu, a mam wrażenie, że napisałem może 1% tego, co...
Ich lese schon eine ganze Weile die Posts von Tiramisu, die ein Format (sagt man das so?) hat, dass sie "word vomit" nennt. Das Konzept scheint sich Visa ausgedacht zu haben, die Idee ist, dass man 1000 mal 1000 Wörter schreibt, um am...
A couple of weeks ago there was a conversation at my book club that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. We had just read 'Yellowface' by R. F. Kuang, which follows the story of a middling author who takes her dead friend's...
A couple of days ago I thought I had history working well in the Gemini client I'm working on; I was wrong. It worked, but the more I used it the more I felt it wasn't quite right. The main problem was I had a single history structure...
尖塔、穹顶、彩窗、雕塑是许多名胜教堂的标志性符号。它们确实令人震撼和赞叹，但让我印象最深刻的却是这两个。 一座是 Bath Bradford-on-Avon 的 Saxon Church of St Laurence，另一座是 Bristol 的 Clifton Cathedral。 Bradford-on-AvonSaxon Church of St Laurence...
Esse poderia ser um título de eroge, mas ainda bem que é só literalmente um post sobre pensamentos estranhos. Me falaram que a maior curiosidade deles era passar 5 minutos dentro da minha cabeça. E vocês devem estar se perguntando como...
I took a gamble on some Noctilucents reappearing last night with a 40 minute drive out to the coast, and then a 20 minute walk to find a clear view of the Northern horizon. There is never any guarantee the clouds will show up, but I have...
For some reason my family has phenomenally crappy luck with Macbooks. Our second one in three years just died, right as my wife was needing to put together some slides with it. The thing is completely and utterly unresponsive, suffering...
There’s a steep hill at the end of the block that goes through a park with a nice view of the city. It’s the equivalent of about six blocks long. At one time, I would be huffing and puffing by the time I got to the top. If my wife was...
Trip: 58 Nights: 191-193 Last weekend was the annual Aliner Ascape rally, which has settled at Laurel Hill State Park near Somerset, PA. We missed last year when my career blew up 3 weeks before the camp out, so it was great to get back...
Novelty is a real bitch, isn't it? What, you mean like how I can't come up with a better opening tag? Or the fact I use opening tags at all? Come on man, I'm trying to make art here. Anyway, having small moments (three-hour stretches) of...

For a freelancer, "trusted by the NHS" is the kind of line that makes people look twice. And honestly, it should. Public sector and health work comes with a level of scrutiny that most commercial projects just never reach. Over the years...
Spanish Whenever possible, use operating systems with little or no bloatware—those junk apps added by manufacturers that only serve to track you and drain your device’s resources. For PCs, there’s Linux (it depends on the distro; I...
I’ve had the Xteink X4 for a couple of months now, a £40 e-ink reader small enough to stick to the back of a phone. I’d seen a few posts about it (Khairul Selamat, Neil Brown, joelchrono, and moddedbear among them), so I got curious and...
Consistency serves a purpose in visual design, but it seems to have become the purpose of a lot of visual design. Look no further than these evolutions of macOS icons (image courtesy of BasicAppleGuy): The Creator Studio icons are...

James of the Coffee blog fame made a fun quiz, and I expected to know the result. It surprised me with a second one 😀 You are a Author You love writing and have a growing backlog of posts on your website! Words are your best friend and...
I had my first ever mention on a Spanish online radio/podcast show tonight. I'm feeling very "international" 😊 Esta noche me han mencionado por primera vez en un programa de radio o podcast online español. Me siento muy "internacional" 😊
The fox continues to prowl around our chickens. This morning we caught it in the GARDEN a few feet from our favourite chicken. Luckily the magpies warned us and we were able to scare it away. It's not nice keeping the little cluckers...
Thanks to James over on the Coffee Blog for this pure noughties nostalgia quiz — Blogger Archetype Quiz. I answered the ten simple-ish questions and was duly informed of my archetype; shared below. What I love about these quizzes, as I...

I’ll leave it to Ed Davey, of all people, to sum up what I think. “The British people are sick of being let down by an endless merry-go-round of prime ministers while nothing really changes,” Davey writes on X.“This time must be...
There is nothing like waking up on a Monday morning in the UK and finding out that there is to be yet another Prime Minister. It was no surprise, of course; the media knew all about it beforehand and so did DJT. Meh! The UK population...

In part two of today's big change, I brought a whole subtree of the interactive directory out into its own page. With this, the linklog and static bookmarks are perfectly balanced in size, and much easier to handle. More improvements to...
Over the past few months, I’ve spoken to people across a variety of companies, and one thing has become quite obvious: with today’s tooling, employees are eager and able(!) to build their own applications. Whether it’s a small script to...
