In a previous post I showcased a demo of an LLM getting a bit of a gamestate from OpenTTD.

I’ve been using sockpuppetbrowser for a while in some of my projects.

“Captain’s Log, Stardate 41153.7” There’s something iconic about the way Captain Jean-Luc Picard begins his entries in Star Trek.

The web has always been a playground and we’ve been handed new tools to play with in the form of LLMs.

Now the software and hardware of wandering.computer have reached a state at which it feels stable, so I started with the next step, learning to type again.

Simple tools are the best.

Steph Ango wrote file over app in 2023, a cornerstone idea for Obsidian.

This project has been in the making for quite a couple of months, but since it’s finished I thought it would be cool to write a post about it!

After being inspired by the post that shows Claude Code playing RCT2, I’d imagine something like that, but for Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (OpenTTD).

Much of the information we create and use daily is locked away in Word documents.

Most of this post was also published as the first update by email on wandering.computer.

I assisted Stef Veldhuis on technological components and realization of his artworks.

I help organizing the PKM Summit, just like the Quantified Self a wonderfull community of people aiming to learn and tinker with personal knowledge manangement.

Two posts within a week?

I’ve been migrating my online feedreading to Netnewswire on my mac.

I lack a lot of spare time (because of reasons) lately, but sometimes I have a couple of hours to tinker around with any of my projects and one of the things on my list to explore was n8n.

Together with Arjan and Oskar from Manava I advise and help organisation with technology.

Working with the team from Huub I’ve setup the authentication & authorization stack with Auth0.

With Maurice van Dinther from wafl.nu I’ve created a monitoring/questionnaire tool for the Katholieke Scholenstichting Utrecht (KSU).

With Bas van de Haterd and Rikkert Walbeek we started the Talent Acquisition Audit Institute (TA Audit for short).

For me this is more of a meta post, as it’s mostly the rediscovery of a personal preference of mine.

For Opal I’ve worked on hardware prototypes under NDA.

I’ve been wearing a Friend / Omi (not to be confused with the other one) for a couple of weeks.

I’ve been planning to build a Pingo clock for quite some time.

While developing the OV Klok I’ve been exploring how small trinkets and other technological utilities can be configured.

My office is located in a different city, so I have to commute both ways..

I’ve worked with Tellart on the Dinner in 2050 installation for the UAE Pavilion.

As we tinker around with our personal knowledge systems (PKM) and make them more intricate and fit for our own patterns, I often tend to look back on how I did things, sometimes to leave them around unchanged..

Working with Bertrand from Symbiose Studio I’ve build the technical side of Intimate Implant.

I’ve helped Dilmah Tea with the ordering and forecasting proces.

ChatGPT is all the rage nowadays.

A wearable keyboard made for typing on the go!

A simple app that let’s you group column views of favorite folders

I’ve been journaling for a thousand days using Obsidian.

After owning a couple of mp3 players in my youth, I’ve made the jump to an Apple device with an iPod Mini as my music player.

Sovn (previously known as Jawsaver) creates smart earbuds to stop teeth grinding & clenching.

I’ve been reading books on my Kindle for a years and I’ve never really had a pretty workflow for it, all the books just simply end up in Calibre and I manually sync my library with the device itself.

While exploring the internet for inspiration and ideas around a wearable keyboard I’ve come across multiple sites, persons and ideas.

Slowly but surely I’m making progress on my personal project.

This blogpost mostly functions as a reminder to myself on how to configure Mainsail to use Zerotier.

Long overdue, and it’s missing more photos then I’d like, here’s the 8:36pm video of 2021!

I’m no stranger to making keyboards and while I’m tinkering with creating a wearable keyboard I’ve stumbled upon many other builds of people that do interesting stuff.

As most of my posts, the main reason I write them is to share some thoughts on recent things I’ve been working on.

For digital fitness (Digitale Fitheid in dutch) I’ve created a questionnaire where people can discover how well versed they are with technology and digital tools.

For all the things I organize, inbox zero might just be one of the biggest achievements.

In the previous part I highlighted how I managed my notes in folders.

While explaining and introducing Obsidian to people I’ve noticed that the free form way of setup allows for so much flexibility.

In this age of digital tools I’m wondering if we really need the computer or phone to be the one tool that does it all.
