@hdv just read your post on workslop and I couldn't agree more! One thing I constantly run into are tickets written via AI that are either overly detailed or describe a task without taking into account the overarching picture (like project guidelines/design guidelines). I think they are good cue givers for writing tickets as they often come up with good points but you have to filter out and correct a lot.

RIP Mum
14 July 1945 - 21 October 2025
Today my mum passed away, it was very peaceful.
Things my mum taught me
Always be nice to people, you don't know what is happening in their life.
Especially people who are not nice to you.

Linocut a stamp for my logo
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.

Latest Episode: The Spice Bag
In 2008, staff at a Chinese takeaway in Dublin cooked themselves up a special treat after hours. One thing led to another and today you can find something similar not only across Ireland but as far afield as New Zealand.

Whether you are running online workshops, recording audio or video, or making music, it’s worth spending some time on acoustic treatment for your room. Shit in, shit out, as they say… In my case, I wanted to improve the sound of voice recordings and live audio in my little o...

This blog post was written using my Royal typewriter.
Waiting
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.

Beginnings (type-written)
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.

Typewriters and labyrinths
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...

Play On
In the late 1960s, a young musician was recording the sounds he played on his synthesizer onto his Revox tape recorders, when he suddenly discovered: if you connect the two tape recorders together, so that the playback head is separated by several feet from the record head, ...
Last sunday, I’ve been out photographing with Florian again. We went to the MüGa park in Mülheim. He has the pictures:
I’ve added a field of view value and more formats – 16mm, Super 16, APS-H and 70mm/IMAX – to my 35mm equivalent focal length tool.

The Quartiere Coppedè
Since June, I have had occasion to visit a part of Rome I barely know, way on the other side of town, literally. Coming back on the bus one time I happened to glance up at the buildings and was absolutely amazed. Decorative friezes, fancy brickwork, ornate balustrades and ba...

Obvious, when you think about it, that Brad Delong on how Substack and its writers might survive enshittification is paid only content. It would require “the continued maintenance by SubStack of exit paths, so that the credible threat of exit keeps platform incentives aligned with user success.” How’s that going, I wonder.
