Like many Emacs users, I’m a heavy Org mode user. Some time ago I decided that I need a way to access at least some of my Org files on my (Android) phone.
Monday, Monday, Monday… so, as usual, I’ve got a Fantasy with Friends post for you! All the prompts are hosted at Pages Unbound, if you’d like to join in. This week’s prompt is on anachronisms in fantasy: Do anachronisms in fantasy...
Taking things a bit easier today, after the crash. Pottering around the house and looking the Eleventy docs right from the beginning (rather than trying to reverse engineer). This was helpful. One of the things we did yesterday that I...
I've seen a lot of posts here and elsewhere that have this little badge at the bottom: At first I found it kinda cute and made a mental note to add it to my template, but after a very short time I changed my mind. I don't want to do it....
Book title: Good Writing: 36 Ways to Improve Your Sentences Author: Neal Allen Rating: 4.25/5 I don't know what I prefer: Neal's writing rules (which I added to my editing tool), or Anne's complaints and pushback on her husband's rules....
I'm in a mood and that mood is hot air balloons, steampunk time travel, The Mummy (1999, obviously), discovering Atlantis, mild peril, clunky submersibles, lost jungle temples, cursed relics, accident-prone botanists and their...

I've been writing versions of this guide since 2008. The most recent big one was the 2019 update, which covers the full tactical ladder—education, building a lab, projects, bug bounties, certifications, conferences, networking—and I...
This case naturally raises some questions that Musk might choose to pose to Grok, like: “Grok, is it bad when TOS formation fails?” “Grok, what are best practices for TOS formation and does our current TOS formation process satisfy...
During the month of August I will be participating in Blaugust, a month long blogging challenge. From what I’ve read about this week’s challenge, it seems that this was originally aimed at giving appreciation for games developers. Well,...
Every time Claude Code uses the Chrome MCP it adds a new tab group, but it never cleans up after itself. This was of course already reported many times in the 5000+ open issues Claude’s GitHub.
I spotted this kind of a keyboard shortcut pattern the other day. Here it is in Photoshop: Here it is in DevonThink: And here in Linear: Those “ordinal” keyboard shortcuts feel nice and orderly, and look so elegant, too. But beware! The...
Here I am reading (very incoherently) the opening of my work-in-progress, Leviathan, for the European Graduate School podcast.
In the beginning was the name; or, one supposes, that has always been the way of things. When was it anyhow that we started giving them to one another? Or taking it for oneself, perhaps the way one would a pelt or tanned hide, to ward...
