Summer Fields of VetiverEncre Noire is often referred to as a "modern" vetiver, and few can get through a sentence about it without mentioning Iso E Super, so let's just get that out of the way first: there's quite a bit of Iso E Super...
K.: “Just because things don’t go according to plan doesn’t mean the world is going to go up in flames. You need to relax and just let things happen.” How do I do that when it feels like a moral failing? When it feels like proof that...
Act One They woke her first, the way they always did, because she came up slower and Aaron liked to be awake when she surfaced so hers wasn’t the only face in the room that had missed him too. The waking room was warm. That was the first...

I woke early — it has been warm lately. It is strange how you can find a burst of energy at 5am, but today it came, for I decided to organise my bookshelves, sorting what books I am ready to donate to the local charity shop.I picked up...
One of the most challenging things about the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) exam isn't subnetting, spanning-tree, routing protocols, ACLs, or calculating longest prefix match. The most challenging thing is figuring out what...
We went for a wander after soccer yesterday and the little one picked the Frog Pond. We grabbed a treat at the Tartan Coffee Company truck at the parking lot and headed for the trail. Of course I only brought along my new-ish 50mm on the...

You should be so bold as she Who made so much money. Amazing, you say to the trees On which cash should be plucked Like so many potatoes, weighing The longest branches low.
That's the reason I've always felt that private journaling isn't for me. Is it an attention-seeking look-at-me kinda thing? I honestly don't think so. For me, writing in public adds more reflection to the words. I can sit for a good...

I've just bumped Port79 to v1.0.0. There's no significant change in this release, other than the addition of the usual dunder-based metadata that is common in Python libraries; somehow I'd managed to leave it out in the last couple of...
July 2026. Sheffield. Back from Darlington and a disappointing Chinese takeaway (life lesson : never go back) I popped next door (ish) to see how many folk were going to watch the World Cup Final at our local. The Blind Monkey had decent...
I remember this legendary software engineer at Facebook. His name is Bob. Bob is a prolific engineer – he was responsible for shipping Facebook Groups (among other things). He was also a hackathon legend, delivering hit after hit. At the...
Bookmarked “You don’t have to blog like me” by Dan Q This is your reminder that having a personal website entitles you to blog however you want. There are lots of patterns communities have developed but it’s basically all optional. The...
Titles are not posts! (See what I did there?) / rant My RSS feeds are increasingly full of posts that are just titles. Some titles are just posts. No additional words, no explanation, no other thought, no verbiage, nothing. A statement...
I’ve managed to fit in three sessions of life-drawing so far this month—on three sequential Fridays—with the possibility of another session next week. It’s reminded me of how valuable it is not to leave large periods of time between...
We can do some pretty clever things with "xargs".
I’ve been trying various and sundry journaling apps lately. I don’t know why. It has just felt this thing to do. To get a sense of how I could be doing things. I’ve always felt that this markdown based journaling thing fit my life best....
I just watched The Dink (★☆☆☆☆) on Apple TV, and yikes, is it a stinker. It’s easily the worst movie I’ve seen in a really long time. Do not watch.
Let's begin this week's reflection with the highlight. Rio Roller - Mayhem II Quad Roller-skates Finally got Rio Roller - Mayhem II Quad Rollerskates! I also wrote a post about roller-skating. I am looking forward to Wednesday, given...
For some time now, I’ve been wanting to try using <aside> elements in this blog for … asides, I guess. You know, those “btw…” sorts of comments, but in cases where a footnote feels like too much faff. Thanks to the neighborhood crows,...
