The first recording today starts with the end of OOglies. There’s a trail for the Sarah Jane Adventures. Then it’s What’s New Scooby-Doo? – A Scooby Doo Halloween. This episode starts in media res with the end of another adventure. But Shaggy is keen to get away. To such an extent that he drags the rest of them into the Mystery Machine and drives himself. This makes Fred very anxious. They get to where they’re going, Banning Junction, and are met with an angry mob, but Velma’s aunt, who they’re…

Next is Order #137, which is dated 14 December 1784 (here the day is clearly visible) and is signed by James Edgar (top signature), Basil Cochrane (middle), and Adam Smith (bottom). Once again, we see the commissioners’ attention to detail: “We have received your Letter of the 27th of last Month [i.e. 27 November 1784], with the Report of Mr. Gabriel Hay Officer of Excise relative to Return of Seizure No. 289 for 462 [or 1162] lbs of Tobacco seized by him. And We acquaint you for your…

I don’t normally re-watch lectures to study, but I spent today going over half of my L314 Digital Signals Processing lectures in preparation for an upcoming test. The Cambridge terms are quite compressed, so it’s helpful going over content to help piece it all together. I’ve been reading through Digital Signal Processing by Thomas Holton to supplement the coursework, and I’m finding it quite helpful. I selected the DSP module somewhat on a whim: I wanted something that was a bit more…

In gleeful collaboration with Tim Mainstone of Mainstone Press and Joe Pearson of Design for Today, I am hosting our annual BLOOMSBURY JAMBOREE, a festival of books and print, illustration, talks and seasonal merriment on SATURDAY 14th & SUNDAY 15th NOVEMBER from 10:30am until 4:30pm. It takes place at the magnificent ART WORKERS GUILD, 6 Queens Sq, WC1, which was founded in 1884 by members of the Arts & Crafts movement including William Morris and C R Ashbee. These oak panelled rooms lined…

I had my little Smashburgers in Bend website on Astro on Cloudflare Pages. While I 💜 both of those things, CodePen hosting is more than capable, and that’s obviously extremely fun and satisfying for me. I had the Smashburgers site on Astro way back when because they supported multi-page view transitions in a really nice way, polyfilling it in browsers that didn’t have it yet. But time has moved on, and I consider it a progressive enhancement anyway, so the Pen now just uses native multi-page…

Toss it away -- or let it sit?I spent part of this afternoon pulling up dead tomato plants, dumping out the Walls O Water (at this altitude, we use them all season long), and putting away the wire cages.But should I have done that? There is a good eco-friendly case to made for saving all that work until spring — although the plastic "walls" need to be stored out of the weather.From the Give a Shit about Nature website — also an account on X.com:The Fall Cleanup Instinct and Why It’s Worth…

’Tis But Some Quick News for November 6, 2026 It seems like Anthropic’s upcoming IPO might be in trouble. Have they tried looking for the golden egg factory inside the goose? (Internal mechanism.) Following tech’s selloff on Wall Street this week, some investors are lowering their expectations for Anthropic. The artificial intelligence company had been looking toward a $2 trillion valuation in its IPO up until recently, but stakeholders told CNBC that even $1.5 trillion is now in doubt, with…

The USB-C Power Delivery protocol has made life easier for many devices, being a viable means of providing DC power at a range of voltages and power levels. Standard USB-C PD The YZX is limited to 60W (20V/3A) with cables that have no eMarker and 100W (20V/5A) when used with a compatible cable, this wasn’t quite enough for all devices. High-end laptops, for example, are a notable exception and some proprietary extensions have existed to squeeze a bit more out of it (e.g. Lenovo’s 140W at 20V/7A…

TL;DR: gilguard is a tiny, zero-dependency package for free-threaded Python (3.13t, 3.14t, 3.15t). Import it first. If any later import quietly turns the GIL back on, you get an error naming the extension module, the package that shipped it, and the line of your code that pulled it in. python -m gilguard audits an entire environment in one go. It’s on PyPI now, and it’s the second piece of a larger free-threaded Python effort I’ve been working on. The quiet failure mode of free-threaded Python…

After work tonight, I took a walk around Lake Como to try and disengage my brain from its current self-imposed existential melt-down. Little over midway through the walk, my lungs and legs were signaling the need for a rest. Immediately the phone came out of the pocket of the hoodie and I went head first back into the erratic traversal of the hrefs.1 My last stop was Robert Birming’s blog over his idea for Knowember. Up until here lately, I’ve operated my site and blog in a social-dead-zone.…

Traditional malware detection relies on cryptographic hashes — MD5, SHA1, SHA256. Change a single byte and the hash becomes unrecognizable. Malware authors know this. They re-pack, re-compile, or add junk bytes to evade signature-based detection. What if you could fingerprint the structure of a file instead of its exact bytes? That’s what holloman3 does. It’s a perceptual hash — files with similar binary structure produce similar fingerprints. A single-byte change produces a 1-bit difference in…

I saw the clouds break. I saw them broken. I saw the sharp line between light and a sliver of shadow. I saw the horizon offering. I saw the light, that same light, dip a bit, darker. I saw the hope drain away. I saw a showroom where we are seen. I saw what I shouldn't see. I saw you carefully averting your eyes. I saw the slowly rotating decor. I saw an opportunity. I saw that you took it. I saw that sandwich and its promise. I saw the request to sing given to everyone within earshot. I saw the…

Today was another quiet day of mostly indoors. I did manage to do the morning cat feeding outside, for a change. They are enjoying a different cat soup for now. We are out of the donated wet cat food. What’s left is for the indoor cats, and we are running low on that, too, sunce … Continue reading Doing all right

Who did I listen to most this week? #lastfm says: The Sisterhood (19), The Chameleons (17), Fields of the Nephilim (16), The Mission (13), and Clan of Xymox (12) [via lastweekly]

I love working with designers, in part because (unlike managers and product managers) they’re culturally different from engineers. However, having more than one designer on a team is asking for trouble, and I have complicated negative thoughts about design systems. Design is a strange role Designers demonstrate their value immediately. While working on some feature, I’ll typically put together some placeholder UI that I’m reasonably happy with. I then show it to a designer, who strokes their…

I did take pictures today, but I wanted to share this one instead. It is from two days ago, when I went out to photograph. Have a great weekend everyone! (I'll be playing some more Ocarina of Time. It is so good. Goosebump-inducing, especially the music.)

Where the wild things areToo long didn't read: Travis Knight's Wildwood in a nutshell is easily the best animated of the year-- of several years-- one of the best stop-motions ever, one of the most beautiful autumnal films ever made. Better than Lord of the Rings, easy.Actually not being fair. Never been a fan of Lord of the Rings. (WARNING: story and plot twists discussed in some detail)Not kidding about the autumn. Easy enough to do eyepopping burnt gold and glowing orange but what Knight…

This is yet another game that's been on my radar a long, long time, and that I'm finally able to play thanks to fan translators. (The translation actually came out quite some time ago, but I'm also very bad at keeping on top of things like this). It's a weird and original horror game, it's in the Simple 2000 series, and it's from Tamsoft, so of course I was interested in it. The title, I believe, translates to "The Overwhelming Hell", which is pretty appropriate, as it stars a teenage girl with…

This is a post about Guild Wars 1 (not GW2), which is one of my favorite old-skool MMOs ever. Yesterday, a game that hasn’t seen an expansion almost 20 years announced a new DLC called Afterlife to be released on January 13, 2027, and I’m super stoked to hear it!

On Tuesday, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy. That case involves Colorado's universal preschool program's "equal opportunity mandate." To participate in the program, preschools must sign the mandate, which states that children will have an equal opportunity to enroll regardless of, among other things, sexual orientation. Catholic preschools sued Colorado, saying that they must be granted an exemption to the mandate because their enrollment…

Just been to see George Michael: The Faith Tour at the cinema. Absolutely incredible night out. There’s something special about experiencing concert films at the theatre and this one is an absolute gem. People were behaving like they were there. Clapping, singing, and dancing in the aisles. Goosebumps. Go and see it this week if you can.

And so their expedition started: across the quiet Sunday highway, toward the stretch of snow-covered trees that poked out on the hill above the river. “The river is frozen,” Martin stated. “We will be exploring it.” He picked up a handful of fresh wet snow, clapped it between his mittens, and hurled the snowball at Vic’s shoulder. Vic’s dad shook the snow off Vic’s jacket. “Nobody is exploring any frozen rivers,” he said. He looked left and right and, catching their hands, started crossing the…

My desktop has a 24-core Core Ultra 9 285K, 32 GB of RAM and a fast NVMe drive. Yet every time I built or tested , it felt slow.
