It’s time to install an app! But here in 1986, we still call them “programs,” not apps. So, you’ll want to set aside some time to get started installing a program. Since you have a Commodore 64, there are really only two options for getting new programs this month: COMPUTE!’s Gazette and RUN, and you have to hope that one of those magazines isn’t sold out at the book store. So let’s get going. Go To The App Book Store You will need to ask your mom if you can ride your bike to the mall. The dirt…

A recent piece on “forever domains” sparked bigger questions about permanence online: when domain owners die out, do we need new systems that don't rely on domains at all?Should domains last forever? That’s not a new question for me, but it’s one that I’ve been thinking more about lately, especially since I ended up writing a story recently that posed this exact question.Over at the new publication GraveSite, which covers the concept of death and grief with a reporter’s eye, I posed a question…

The Mastodon 5.0 update is looking good. And I love the continuity between desktop and mobile. Of course early days but no obvious jagged edges in the first go.

We’re backkkk! In ep25, Colin and I talk about Worcestershire pride, what we’d change if we were king for a day, and, of course, otters. Enjoy! https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/peas25.mp3

I’ve long be Linux curious, and my wish finally came true over the weekend when my son installed Fedora and GNOME on an old ThinkPad for me. As I understand it, Fedora is the name of one of the Linux distributions, a.k.a. distro, and GNOME is the name of the desktop environment. The distro is the guts of the thing, and the desktop environment is how you interact with it. I should add that this is GNOME 50, the most recent version. If you check the Wikipedia article, you’ll see that GNOME had…

Oh hey there. ö/ It's been a while. Long story short: things n stuff. I do have an upcoming blog post titled something along the lines of "Getting on Stage for the Very First Time to a Completely Empty Room". So if you've been wondering where I've been - that's a thing that happened. And if you're new here and the suspense is killing you: RSS, subscribe, etc, etc... But for now:It's currently Beatober, I'm off to a late start, been trying to get into the Teenage Engineering EP-40 Riddim,…

Trolls from Glorantha, one of the few demihumans I do genuinely like. One of my more polemic opinions on TRPGs is my general distaste for what those familiar with D&D call "demihumans" - the elf, the dwarf, the hobbit (undignifiedly referred to as "halfling"), and so on. My issue with them is, in part, aesthetics; I do not like how they look and behave, and the post could end here to be honest with you. Some folks enjoy having a full category of PC that speaks in a bad Scottish accent, drinks a…

Belay – far away (from here) First up from this dig into the mailbox is a verdant dream of a cut from Portland-based duo Belay (JOIA and Monotrope). Perched on the most tranquil branch of 2-step electronica, this meanders along dendridic fractal paths, led by reconstituted vocal fragments, with flashes of bird song, muted plucks, and a steadily developing wide chord pattern. This track is from Belay’s recent self-titled LP, which is ambitious in its breadth, ranging from the serenity of this…

Chopping Mall has gotten a reputation as a “cult classic,” enough for its scene with Dick Miller to get a slot in the opening of each Dead Meat podcast, so I definitely wasn’t going into it expecting it to be some sort of art film. It’s definitively 1980s B-movie horror. But I hadn’t expected it to be so self-consciously 1980s B-movie horror. It felt as if they’d stopped trying to come up with ideas after they’d hit on the title. And honestly, who can blame them, since it’s such a good title.…

In this edition of Not a Newsletter we’ve got thoughts on the cask version of Fuller’s Vintage Ale and on having our arms gently twisted re: CAMRA beer scoring. We’ll start with beer scoring which came up in conversation when we bumped into Bridget, one of Jess’s pals from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Bristol and District Ladies group, in the pub. As we were finishing our pints and preparing to crawl on, she asked us a simple question: do we score the beers we drink in the pub? And if not,…

I reviewed these a long time ago and found the noodle to be very rubbery – low score. More recently, I found them again on discount so I thought I’d give them another try and had the same results. Well, that prompted the owner of the company to reach out and let me know that the one I found at Dollar Tree was not the most recent iteration. He told me the new version is much better and asked if I’d give them a chance for redemption. I don’t like handing out low scores; I like to share the best…

Above you see two sketches of a shipping box. I doodled it because I’d just received a new sketchbook in the mail, it was one of the options for a sketchbook/journal to bring to Ireland, and I had to test the paper. So I doodled a box. The first of those doodles is on the right side, and boy, it is WONKY. I took a bit more time for the second doodle. I first simplified the steps, because I got lost half way through drawing the box flaps in the first drawing. I folded the flaps aside to draw…

These reflections on school reform began with a request from a colleague I admired, Richard Elmore. He asked me to write a piece about how my ideas have changed over the years. Daily experiences in schools as a teacher, administrator, and researcher (and my writings about those experiences) had, indeed, altered key ideas I had about the nature of reform and how reform worked its way into districts, schools, and classrooms. Elmore included my piece in a book he edited called I Used to Think… And…

When I initially heard about immi a few years ago I was very curious. A noodle infused with pumpkin seed flour? I want to try that! What followed was disappointment; the noodle was so chewy and rubber band like it squeaked on my teeth. More recently, I saw their product at a Dollar Tree store and decided to give it another try with about the same results. This caught the attention of the founder of the company. He persoinally contacted me and offered to send me the latest iteration of his…

‘We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.’ John M. Culkin There has been an interesting discussion (of sorts) going on around the use of AI on the IndieWeb. What I know of it started with Brennan Brown’s article ‘The IndieWeb Now Has genAI and Claude Built-in (sic)’ (which has since been re-titled). I was in the process of wrapping up my follow-up essay to my re-definition of the ‘IndieWeb’ when Brennan’s article showed up on my feed reader, prompting me to pause working on my…

Given that I typically take a wait-and-see attitude when Apple introduces a new product, I was surprised to find myself ordering a HomeView within a day of its announcement. I was even more surprised when lots of otherwise pro-Apple people—this guy, for example—were skeptical about its value. Why is this? Well, one reason could be that I don’t already have a HomePod in my kitchen, which makes me behind the times. I’ve been thinking I should get one (or two), but Siri’s deficiencies have kept me…

I recently had the pleasure of attending a book launch for the new opus of a very dear friend, at which a great many photographs were taken. Over the next few days, Paul placed loads of them on Instagram, taking the trouble not only to namecheck all the miscreants who’d showed up, but to explain who they were and What Their Thing Was, as used to be said. Here’s his screed for me:...the creator of the ultimate 3-word description of Donald Trump (and I quote - ‘witless f..king cocksplat’ -…

Link: Some final words on Foursquare, by Dennis CrowleyI freaking loved Foursquare. It was a wonderful way to explore cities with the help of my friends: in the same way that Upcoming was my best way of figuring out which events I should be going to, Foursquare let me know which restaurants, bars, parks, etc, were worth checking out. If Chris ranked a cocktail bar, you know it was amazing. Aaron always found the best coffee spots. And so on: my friends were better recommenders than any other…

I previously posted lead-acid battery voltage vs. temperature and state of charge (SOC). If you have switched to lithium iron phosphate, there is also a relationship between temperature, voltage, and state of charge. The drop is less, but remember that lithium cannot be charged below freezing and the battery management system (BMS) will disconnect the battery from charging below about 35F. Additionally, the BMS will disconnect the battery completely below 11.5 volts (typical setting) until…
