Concluding the thing I started three entries ago, I've replied to the pile of email I'd let accumulate.

A little bit of philosophy to get through the tough spots...

A fun little creativity/art tip I've been wanting to write for a while...

I can't believe how long this page ended up.

Another OpenBSD article.

This website has moved to a new OS and web server and host!

SECRETS REVEALED!!!

A year later, another piece of text I had to get off my chest.

I've hit the last straw with Mozilla's antics in Firefox.

I slowly read this paper while brushing my teeth at night.

Related to the Faceclick Emoji picker two entries ago, I've learned how to make custom subsets of fonts and package them as Web Fonts (and how to use and debug them).

A relatively quick and much more "blog-like" entry today...

It's done!

Oh no!

A new wiki appears!

This is tangentially related to the previous entry.

Clickbait summary: Here's a fun thing you can do with Post-it notes that might save your poor brain from a meltdown...

I really enjoyed the feedback I got on Implementing a Forth.

This page started as a tiny kernel of three ideas, little more than just some notes.

The human race can survive my website because of a tree in my front yard...

We all deserve something shorter and sweeter in the RSS feed for the weekend.

Here's an essay I started last month and finally finished.

As I teased in the previous item, this update links to what basically amounts to a "mini-site" of four web pages and one software repo.

In the next couple days, I expect to be posting a link to a "mini-site" of content about a fun programming subject.

In revisiting Naur's paper, I had some additional thoughts about how it applies to our current era...

An extremely tiny family posting site (lets a handful of people post text and images and that's it!).

Hello!

I've finished a new tool to add to the site - I made this one to "do the counting" for my daily physical therapy exercises...

It came!

Hey RSS readers!

My first ever year wrap-up.

A short parable by Franz Kafka describes our crummy code?

All of a sudden, I realized I never fully made the transition from Thunderbird to aerc for email and...I never will and...that's okay!

A UI programming "hack" in which your mileage varies and the dead return to extract vengeance upon the living.

A fable!

Why and how you should preserve your projects for your future self (and possibly other people too) to enjoy!

Another thing emerges from the ongoing December Adventure 2023: a super simple Ruby utility for making super tiny SVG line art!

Just a quick little "discovery" during the aforementioned and ongoing December Adventure 2023 that I thought should have its own page...
