Caught this via a link HN link here, and I am full of admiration, both for the geeky side of things and for the adventurous fermentation. Some good things to remember: “Your job isn't to prevent change, it's to make sure it happens in the right direction at roughly the right speed.”

Edited to correct my terrible memory.

As I write, it is the late evening. I am getting ready to go to bed. The room is illuminated by fairy lights. I have been trying to go to bed at more reasonable hours of late, but I just saw the ten pointless facts about me blogging challenge and felt inspired to write someth...

A couple of days ago I tackled some salt-preserved lemons I had made about a year ago, just my terrace-grown lemons and salt. I had failed to notice that the air-trap fell out some time ago and the top layers, where more oxygen was available, had played host to a grey-green ...

The mini-rustoid is among the delightful horrors waiting to be exhumed in Animal Crossing New Leaf.

@crochet Made it, with about one metre to spare. It is roomy, and that’s OK.

A week ago, I had the lens in one eye replaced. The result?

“It’s a lot like the old days of trying to get a good colour print at home,” was the best I could come up with. “You print one of those test images that came with the printer, with all those different skin colours, and you discover that the pretty pink baby actually has a slight green tinge.”

You know this scenario: The printer says that ink is empty and then you take out the ink and there's still plenty in there. A while ago I started keeping the old cartridges, in case there's something I could use them for later.

One idea was to use the old printer ink as a pad for a stamp of my logo. So when I met my friend who once made a linocut print of a bat that looked soo sick I asked her where to get stuff like that because I never did that before (except I think at school when I was 14) and she even bought me these 17€ tools because I was too stingy.

I migrated my gemini capsule to my new domain and integrated my tinylog into my notes script from the website. Also re-enabled that it posts to BlueSky as well :^3

Latest Episode: The Spice Bag

In 2008, the legend goes, staff at a Chinese takeaway in Dublin cooked themselves up a special treat after hours. Nothing too fancy, but tasty enough that soon their friends wanted the same. One thing led to another and today you can find something similar not only across Ireland but as far afield as New Zealand.

This blog post was written using my Royal typewriter.

I am standing on Princes Street while waiting for the bookshop to open. There is a drizzle or rain falling from the grey sky. Earlier, I noticed the red of the morning autumn horizon peek through the clouds. I have. As I always do, conviction that the sun will come out. Edin...

Extremely nerve wracking. Do I have enough yarn left to do four more rows? Not that it matters a huge amount.

There are so many techniques to learn (and practice!) when learning to machine knit. I thought it would be fun to solicit some smaller projects, so I “opened” “commissions” by asking some friends if they had any small project ideas after showing them a successful hat. By bud...

I purchased a Royal typewriter from a charity shop today. When I got home, I was delighted to find that there was ink ready to use. Shortly thereafter, I started writing.

This morning started as many this year have done: should I get up and explore, or stay in bed for one more hour. The warmth of bed, especially as the days get cooler, is comforting. But I know how great I feel when I get up on time and start the day. I am trying my best to ge...
