I found a delightful free email contact form service today: Letterbird.

I am vibe-coding a TUI for my CLI micropub publisher this evening.

I have been vibe-coding a simple UI with Ratatui this evening.

A one-shot conversion of my HTML site to a Hugo site seems to have worked perfectly and cost me $0.

I created a website with a generator called Punch about ten years ago.

Earlier tonight I drastically simplified my OpenCode config because the coordinator agent pattern I was using got to be so, so slow.

I made a tiny repo tonight that solves a very specific problem I was having with devcontainers, Podman, and Bluefin Dakota: nu-devcontainer-helpers.

Here I am tonight, lounging with my laptop, starting new hobby projects while neglecting to finish the old ones…

I swear my data plan is useless.

I think I fixed the bug in my Micropub Publisher.

Test #3.

Testing.

I updated my MicroPub Publisher project today.

After spending an aggravating couple of hours with an AI assistant struggling to get a Samba container to work correctly (as in, with read-write access), I found a different Samba container and got it working correctly in two minutes.

A neat trick I learned from Kagi Assistant today is how to make a shortcut for starting a git interactive rebase of all commits on the current branch.

Dakota seems snappier than Bluefin (Fedora 44) did on my laptop.

Last night I installed Bluefin Dakota on my ThinkPad purely out of curiousity.

Gnome 51 looks great to me, judging by this sizzle reel.

I updated all my Apple Devices to the new OSes today.

I updated my personal website this evening, with a little help from Hugo.

I love devcontainers, but sometimes I can’t get them to work correctly.

I decided to upgrade my personal website’s Linode server from Debian 12 to Debian 13 today.

I just signed up for Simplenote after…(checks calendar)…something like ten years away from it.

I got WireGuard working on Opnsense for the second time.

I am thrilled to discover a new email client, Veem, that integrates with Gnome, is clean and modern, and has a unified inbox.

I can’t stand backslashes in Windows file paths.

It looks like I am coding in Python again.

It has been a very hard work for me but I am hopeful for the future.

We’re packed and ready to go in the morning!

I am experimenting with having Opencode edit Opencode’s settings to build coding agents, juggle models efficiently, and so on.

I am very happy to say that I am taking my Nintendo Switch 2 on vacation with me this year.

Just noodling around tonight.

The Minions vs.

I found a pretty involved tutorial for creating a Gnome desktop app using Rust.

I am not happy about 87℉ temperatures at 9:38 at night.

We lost power last night due to a thunderstorm.

I saw Supergirl today with my family.

It actually works!

I vibe-coded a Micropub posting client for Gnome last night so I would have something to try to learn from.

I discovered a git client for Gnome called Gitte.

Well, my AI-built devcontainer is not working out too well.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of asking opencode to build a devcontainer for Gnome development before, but it is doing it right now.

I just bought Mina the Hollower and played it for a little bit.

After many years of thinking my git history should reflect exactly what I did, however messy it is, I am suddenly doing the opposite.

To illustrate my frustration with Github Copilot, I burned through 15% of my monthly limit writing SQL queries today.

GitHub Copilot’s recent price hikes have converted me to a huge fan of OpenCode, an open source AI coding harndess, and OpenCode Go, which provides very inexpensive access to non-frontier AI models.

I created my first completely vibe-coded app tonight.

The Lore version control system looks fascinating.
