Re: The most American thing about me is the coffee I told him I think of coffee the same way I think of beer. Is it the best tasting? No. Can it be bitter? Yes. But it's weak enough that you can drink several cups of them and get a nice...
I am reduced to reporting on the minutiae of daily life; everything else is overwhelming. (Half an hour this morning finding out where something I was absolutely sure had been moved had been stashed in my new place. At least I did...
Here it's a Sunday. I found I needed to reboot or reset some things. Some kind of need to see my things differently. Why it comes up and then what I will do. I walked from the house this morning realizing I needed that change. There were...
I. The Height of the Mark The soil-reader came to the Vask terrace on the third morning after thaw, chalk in a tin box, an assistant to carry the ladder. Odrun stood in his doorway with Sennet beside him and watched the man measure the...
Tell the demons to go fuck themselves by living anyway. Every day is a small, but beautiful act of resistance. Divine Liturgy was great by the way, thanks for asking. I'm writing here this evening under some fatigue, but what's new? I...

I’ve already posted most of the following photos in my first post about Sicily, but here they are all again, along with the ones I’m not using as header images. Colours and shapes… you know what I mean ;)
On day 4 we spent less time driving and more hiking! Starting from Gößweinstein, through lush forests, discovering a cave and walking along the river Wiesent. And some history on the way as well!

There are two wolves inside of me, lol. Some days I want to be a “designer”. Other days I want to be a “developer”. On the days I find myself wanting to feed the developer, it’s often because making something “work” seems easier (and...
I tend to punish other people in a very specific way. If they do me wrong, I want to let them know. I want them to owe me one, even if it doesn't make the situation better. It is purely because it puts me in a position of power. Now they...

Canon de cámara oscura crea en el lector una tensión sutil, pero persistente: ¿Está Vidal Escabia, el narrador, construyendo realmente su Canon literario personal e intempestivo, o hay otra inteligencia junto a él, trabajando en la...
I just read that a couple of days ago Pika announced the ability to add custom code. You can’t do too much, but a few things are possible. So today with a little bending of some (coding) rules, I was able to add the Bubbles upvote widget...

Speaking of The Odyssey, this is a great essay on teaching it—the book, not the movie—to a class at San Quentin.
I was heading to my local coffee shop when, seemingly out of nowhere, a guy jumped into the sidewalk chasing a bouncy ball. Based on his outfit, I assumed he was homeless. He clumsily tried to grab the ball a few times as it headed...
"A great deal of feminist theory and literature has nevertheless assumed that there is a 'doer' behind the deed. Without an agent, it is argued, there can be no agency and hence no potential to initiate a transformation of relations of...

Opettelin kirjoittamaan fiktiota, selittämättömiä tarinoita. Se on mielestäni fiktion ja asiatekstin, tai tietokirjallisuuden suurin ero. Fiktiossa tarinaa ei selitetä ja kirjoitus ymmärretään tarinaksi.

Well, my impulse purchase of Damien Wilkins's Max Gate turned out to be a good one. Since I last mentioned it, I have finished reading it (at my usual snail's pace), and found it thoroughly enjoyable (apart from a few jarring...

In this ~22-minute video I explain how Emacs performs completion in a buffer. I cover what happens behind the scenes with the variable completion-at-point-functions. Then I also go to the frontends, which affects the modalities of...
I close my eyes and listen to the church bells reverberate through the city — the air, the street, the park; the hearts.Usually when I go into a bookshop, I find myself looking at all the books. Often, for nothing in particular, but...
I just read an article by one of my favorite writers, Henrik Karlsson, about how his work on his major pieces — which often take him months to finish — benefits from having a small, lesser-known "waste book" or "shit blog" for...
TL;DR QCon is one of my favourite events, and I’ve been to a lot of them over the years. 2026 was the best yet, so kudos to the programme committee and C4media organisers. The most fun bit was hosting the security track, where I got to...

Ideea de a scrie liber despre viața de zi cu zi, fără să porți mereu grija consecințelor, e atrăgătoare. Dar anonimatul real pe internet nu se rezumă la a alege un pseudonim. E un lanț de decizii, iar orice verigă slabă anulează tot...

Acabo de implementar algo en mi blog: un pequeño indicador que dice “Respondiendo a” cuando un post mío es en respuesta a otro post, ya sea de alguien más o uno propio. En algún momento pienso platicar los detalles técnicos de cómo lo...

How many times in your career as a software developer have you been handed a “requirement” that turned out to be difficult and costly to fulfil? I’ve been there many times, and I imagine you have, too. The hack I discovered a few years...
