Early tomorrow I'm heading for Gloucester for a couple of days' walking (or not) with my walking friends. Gloucester is very high on my list of favourite cathedrals, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again after too many years. I'm travelling by train, so, knowing my luck, I'll probably end up...

Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this as much as I hoped. Which sucks cause I love vampires. Arc is alright, but I did not enjoy being in Shiki's head. He was so incurious, and the way he stalked and killed Arc was super uncomfortable. I appreciated the gore,...

More than 1,600 court filings have been caught citing cases the AI invented, and the lawyers who filed them are getting fined and thrown off their cases. The tool wrote each brief in seconds. Checking it and signing it was still the lawyer's job, and that part never got faster. That pattern...

Speaking, as I was yesterday, about the 1960s Fantastic Four, there has been, for many years, a big debate on how much Stan Lee contributed to the early Marvel output versus Jack Kirby. Some say Lee did the bulk of the work and Jack was just a hired hand to illustrate Lee's vision; others think...

As I often do, I was perusing some old issues of the Gadsden Times recently and in July and August 1941 issues I found several articles about polio cases in the state. Effective polio vaccines did not appear in the United States until Jonas Salk's in 1955 and Albert Sabin's in 1961, so what was...

Contains spoilers Welcome to my first film review. We're kicking it off with Whiplash (2014), because this film has frustrated me enough to brave writing about it. Miles Teller and J. K. Simmons star in this jazz-themed drama about a college kid named Andrew Neiman (Teller), whose goal is to...

Life in the Appalachian mountains required strength, cooperation, and determination. Many communities were separated by miles of steep terrain, making basic services difficult...

This feels like a silly question to explore. It seems like, if one realizes one wants to begin a prayer practice, it would be obvious to know how to go about it. It turns out, if that one is me, that it’s not so obvious at all. I do not have a faith tradition to teach me, nor am I looking for...

Over the weekend, I released rssCloud Server 4.0 and wanted to discuss how I added WebSub support to the server. WebSub is an alternative protocol that has the same purpose as rssCloud: to notify subscribers of real-time updates. Back in 2020, Dave Jones had suggested I add support for...

I haven't joined, not even once, the ongoing diatribes about AI-writing. I've never once commented on the nature of the Oxford comma, the use of m-dashes, or the use of millennial-banished words like "moist."I think all that blather is, well, so much blather. What I care about when it comes to...

It has been more than 6 weeks since I saw my friend, a feral cat who was also the sweetest Calico-Point Siamese Cat. According to the people in the area, they haven’t seen her either for the last 6 weeks. I’m hoping that someone actually took her in. The other scenarios would certainly be breaking...

For the past 9 to 10 months, Google has not approved a single Indexing API quota increase request. And, as quota increases are equal to new Indexing API onboarding, this means that no newly created job board received Indexing API privileges.

** This book was provided to me by Random House Worlds in exchange for a fair and honest review ** I’m just going to cut to the chase, right off the bat, and say that this was a hard one to read that I almost DNF’d about a dozen times. The premise was plenty intriguing. Five students...

Okay, enough theory. Time to actually start implementing. First step is to download the latest version of the Arduino IDE, which is currently 2.3.10. I've worked with version 1 before so I think I'll get by, but there are also a number of tutorials available to get you up to speed. The Arduino...

Two decades of remote work — from the unreliable-Skype era through the COVID boom — taught me that the real hidden cost isn't productivity, it's your network. Here's why face-to-face still beats video, why video still beats voice, and why remote success comes down to relentless intentionality.
