I usually like constraints. They challenge me to do more with less. But that doesn’t mean we always get along.
ARC-1 1.0 is here. When I published the first ARC-1 post, I explained why I built an MCP server for ABAP development and why security has to be part of it from the beginning. This post is not another deep dive into every tool. The...
The folks at the observability platform Victoria Metrics have put together a Go 1.27 interactive tour that shows what’s in the new version! This isn’t directly related to OpenZiti (which is created by NetFoundry, where I work), but it is...
If I'm honest, Smallspace was a lot about resisting temptation this year.Even I have worked out I really don't need any more plastic kit right now. Not Space: 1999 Eagle & Hawk War Games Edition 1:72 Scale Model. Not V.I.N.cent from the...
When Image Comics launched back in 1992 (over 30 years ago, damn I'm old), I wonder how many people thought some of those earliest series would, somehow, continue to this day. Certain titles from that first decade occasionally had series...
Every AI product in a business is a few of six simple machines bolted together. An assembly inherits every failure of every machine inside it.
This was another slow week, but like... in a good way. I spent a lot of time just enjoying things around me. Ironically not journalling, and generally taking it easy. On Tuesday I got my Estrogen Pellet topped up with 2x more implanted....

It's always an amazing feeling to hold in my hand the final product after months or years of work. The Pilgrim Poker project went pretty smoothly. I planned to have it launched during the Asian Board Games Festival in Penang. All the art...
I’m always on the hunt for new music and never use music-rental programs like Spotify/Qobuz, which means I spend most of my time surfing Bandcamp. Lately, I’ve noticed a huge increase in band pages that don’t actually sell music....
I have known a lot of conspiracy theorists. I spent much of my teens in the American homeschooling subculture, which exposes one to the lunatic fringe of evangelical conservatism.1 I encountered some vanilla conspiracies which hardly...
On Monday morning I woke up to find a trench in my front yard and a truck parked outside proclaiming itself to contain 'luxury lighting'. I didn't know outdoor lighting came in luxury. I very easily could have hired common lighting by...
"we have a medical industry that is both financially and ideologically motivated to overstate the prevalence of illness, and we have a victimhood culture that encourages people to view themselves as oppressed by things they can’t...
Into the final furlong as far as the 2026 Plastic Warrior Toy Soldier Show plunder and loot is concerned, and I've split this lot into ancient and medieval posts, with the older soldiers first! So, we'll go back 3000-odd years, to the...
★★★★☆ A fun throwback to the early Might and Magic and Bard’s Tale fantasy games of the 1980s and 1990s. Grid- and turn-based, with old-style pixelated graphics and lots of side quests. Probably most comparable to Might and Magic III in...
