After some discussion at IWC Berlin and online, I decided to download Sunlit to ease sharing photos. The good news is that it just works, out of the box, to send images to my stream. Once there, I can edit to enable sharing to Mastodon and off they go. I have not yet tried adding my Mastodon account as a second destination, because I want to be at least a little mindful and not post everything everywhere. One tiny criticism: when you add Alt text, the input box obscures the image. That makes it a little harder to describe the contents. Other than that, I'm very happy, and happy to move another step away from IG.

Good HWC yesterday. I finally removed SASS from the build-pipeline for this site - using just plain CSS now - and also updated my view-transition syntax, so that those work again now. But apart from this, it was mostly us talking about various topics from home networking and self-hosting to - as often - AI and LLMs.
The next HWC DUS is on Dec. 18th.

The three-thousand-year journey of colchicine
Fascinating story of the unintended (?) consequences of drug regulation, though disappointed obviously to see no mention of my own pioneering work. :)

Bangkok day 2
Today was the first full day in Bangkok and we had a full itinerary of sightseeing and tourist stuff.

Sky Train
First up we had to get from the hotel to the Grand Palace. Nick decided that we'd get the Sky Train and then a boat. Directions set in to google maps we set...
Winter sunset
A dusting of snow blankets hills in the distance, left over from the snowfall two evenings ago. There are thin light clouds above the hills through which the sky peeks. On the horizon, separating the snowy white hills from the light grey clouds, there is a hint of a pale red,...

Took the plunge and installed first Docker and then Uptime-Kuma on my resuscitated Pi, and I am both impressed and happy. Tomorrow I will think about how to notify myself if there is a problem. For now, touch wood, no need.

Bangkok day 1
After the second flight of the trip we landed at Bangkok airport (BKK). The first thing I noticed is that it was not at brutally hot and humid as when I changed here on a flight to Australia in 2010. This was a huge relief to me.

Resonance
I have been listening to a podcast interview between Ezra Klein and Brian Eno. In it, Eno referenced the concept of the “premature sheen.” I stopped what I was doing, paused the podcast, and started to think about what those words meant.
I wanted to learn more about the conc...
Routines
Over the last few weeks I have been working on rebuilding my morning routine.
I used to be regimented in my morning routine – everything scheduled down to the minute. I then ebbed the opposite way: my routines became unstructured, my mind every morning exerting itself to rem...
Snow
The snow looks like drops of moonlight I thought to myself as the cool light from the street lamps illuminated the falling snow. It’s beautiful. I have never seen anything like it.
Earlier this week I saw light rain fall that looked almost like it was snow – the light reflec...
South East Asia
We have been planning this trip since January, when we all met up in York to discuss when and where we were going to holiday together this time.
Travel
We all started off in different airports around the UK:
- Susan and I Stansted (STN)
- Liz & Nick Birmingham (BHX)
- Sarah Manchester (MAN)
- Debbie and Mike Newcastle (NCL)
- Eleanor and Tony Glasgow (GLA)
It turns out that Emirates flies from many different locations now in the UK. All of our flights departed within an hour of each other.
Approximately 7 hours later we all met up in O'Regans Irish Bar at Dubai airport (DBX), there wasn't much Irish-ness about this place but after a few drinks we finally boarded our flight to Bangkok (BKK).

And that was fine and dandy, except ...
And that was fine and dandy, except for re-using the old 8GHB card, which didn’t let me do anything else. Finding it hard to believe that a 32GB card was only €13, but it was, and so here I am again, starting from scratch.
