When I focus on my words I take care with them, I choose them deliberately, sometimes to soften things, sometimes to provoke, but it’s rarely by accident. Since I started being a bit more considered with the things I posted here, in...

I'm still writing my journals on paper. Makes it about a decade of notebooks, most of them Field Notes, kept in the archival wooden boxes[1]. Writing by hand helps me remember and process life. Finishing notebooks give me the feeling of...

I had an AI training session at work today. They talked about how AI might seem new but it was invented in the 60s. They showed us old photos of men and women standing next to computers, a picture of Alan Turing, some moving graphs, and...

Para no perder la mala costumbre de cada verano, los incendios están siendo protagonistas en España. Es raro no despertarte un día poner la radio y no escuchar ninguna noticia sobre nuevos incendios. Es una auténtica catástrofe natural,...
I returned from a lovely summer vacation (family, beach) to find that iOS 27 beta has fucked up the transition between split view and compact — I’ve got a boatload of crashes, mostly on Pro Max devices and a few on iPad. Here’s a...

Over the hills they ran Not just one but many after that. Hill after hill forever.
Si me leen periódicamente quizás habrán visto que hay publicaciones que repito tanto tiempo como ser «Lecturas recomendadas» o «webs interesantes», o publicaciones que persiguen una misma temática como «Libros que leí», entre otros. Es...
They left your rings on. Did you know that? I don't know how long you've been here, but however long it's been, they've left your fingers alone. I saw it. Don't worry. I didn't touch them. Today we did the anterior upper limb, so all of...

OK, so again a month has passed between Weeknotes. This time I’ve been spending time moving my site because, hey, it’s been a couple of years and what’s laze.net without a periodic server move? I wrote a bit about it on the site already,...

What have I been upto? Work has gotten a bit quieter since the last time I wrote. Managed to get back on top of the mountain and one of the builds had gone live, which was nice. I’ve got a few things to chase up, and sort, but with just...
As a young boy I would lie in bed and simply stare at the ceiling. My focus would shift from one pattern to another, but my mind would wander. There was nothing I needed to do, so this was my exact (yet never defined) goal: nothing. I...
I noticed today that the Cubs and Yankees have the same record. I knew that the Cubs have had some extreme ups and downs this year, but I wasn’t sure if the Yankees had, so I decided to plot their progress over the course of the season...

I find it incredibly fascinating how memory works. This morning, I saw a post from my friend Forrest where he linked to http://lostmyspace.com/ . Apparently somebody way back when archived about 500,000 songs from the site, before...

July 2026. Newton Aycliffe. Durham. I was staying overnight in a grim car park in Darlington as I didn’t fancy paying the outrageous hotel prices that kick in during the English summer. That £1,492 a night wellness retreat is walking...
I’m almost fourteen years old when the ghost wakes me for the second night in a row.A cold breath at my chin, a lapping of something that should be wet, leaving my skin hollow. I swat it, but the licking persists, my fingers finding...
Gisteren 22 juli was ik in Met het Oog op Morgen, een programma waar ik al 40 jaar naar luister (ik was er heel vroeg bij), dus ik vond het heel bijzonder daar te zijn! En het was ook erg leuk. Goed voorbereid door de redactie sprak ik...

Fixed the page I just now realized that my /uses page has been invisible because /uses has been redirecting to my old one from 2024. Whoopsie daisy. I probably did that on purpose when I moved my blog and proceeded to forget all about it...

The Amiga turns 40 this week. I had an Amiga 500 as a kid, some time in the early 90s. And I remember being made fun of for having an Amiga, because PCs were supposedly so much cooler and better and whatnot. But the first time I visited...
I honestly don't remember where I got this notepad from. I like it though.

It was really great to be back on the lake in New Hampshire with family. Other than some smoke, the weather was great. The green trees were a welcome contrast to California dry sumer. We swam, kayaked to the island, picked blueberries,...
A quick update to Port79. When I kicked this off I'd set up the FingerURI class so that it was pretty permissive in what it would accept. So, for example, you could do any of: >>> FingerURI("davep") FingerURI('finger://davep/') >>>...
A common financial trick is to have a bunch of uncorrelated assets that you balance over time. Assume you have access to assets A and B, with about similar returns. You can have a portfolio of 50% A and 50% B. If A gets overweight,...

In Argentina we like to tell this urban legend that is somehow kind-of-true, that the ballpoint pen was invented there, thanks to the idea of a Hungarian-born man called László Bíró who moved to Argentina at some point during World War...
Even though the waves were messy today, it was still a great day to get into the water. The dolphins were surfing, too! 夏の波 今日はクローズアウトばかりだったけど、それでも海に入るには最高の1日だった。イルカたちもサーフィンをしていたよ！
All four of my grandparents lived into my adulthood. For most of my childhood, they were close enough that we could visit them often. Even though my parents split up the year I started school, my mom stayed close to my dad's family, so...
I spent most of yesterday asleep, but my body can't keep me from the page for long. No, I'm back here again today, and I have nothing on my mind really—but I still have to write because, well, you know. Some days the flow state kicks in...
