Those look good. Last night I made the air-fryer tofu that Alice McFlurry shared on Mastodon https://beige.party/@Alice/115941847048511529 and it was excellent. Tofu scramble is not on my list, probably because I am not a vegan.
The Rose Field
Today I finished listening to The Rose Field by Philip Pullman read by Michael Sheen. This was the third book in The Book of Dust series.
I absolutely loved this is was so emotional and the narration was so moving at times I cried and other times I laughed out loud.
At the end of the audio book there was an interview with Philip Pullman and Michael Sheen, in that interview they discussed the ideas and themes of the book and commented upon how the current global politics were reflected in the story.
Towards the end Philip Pullman said:
Those who don’t understand or enjoy stories and art are the ones we have to look out for.
I truly recommend The Book of Dust trilogy and I really didn't want it to end.

Alas, I am not a Server Admin
All fixed now. Thanks to DonTheMaster on Mastodon, who suggested changing my local DNS to 9.9.9.9
I have been trying to migrate some sites to a new host, with all the attendant patience-trying delays while things like DNS propagate. So an email telling me that a spammer ha...
Better breeding in zoos
A piece in Anthropocene magazine pointed me to an interesting study just published at PNAS: Aging populations threaten conservation goals of zoos. It is behind a paywall, so I am reliant on the abstract and what I read at Anthropocene, although that doesn’t change my conclus...
Removals
Spent a more-or-less instructive week slowly moving this site over to its new home hosted at Hetzner. Not there yet, unless you’re reading this at some point in the future, but with a lot of help — and a lot of misdirection too — from ChatGPT we are getting closer. Some hard lessons to learn, which I will address in a more detailed write up, and despite a deluge of explanations, there are still many things about which my understanding is very shaky. Nevertheless, I am glad to be moving forward.
IndieWeb Carnival: Host Interview
Zachary kindly invited me to answer a few questions about hosting the IndieWeb Carnival. Running for three years now, the IndieWeb Carnival has been the source of endless inspiration for me, sparking both long periods of thinking as well as writing blog posts. Even when I hav...
Kind software
At EdinburghJS this week, Colin mentioned the idea of “kind software.” This got me thinking. What would make software kind? As I write, I notice the word “kind” reminds me of the term “user friendly,” which has associations with software being simple to use in the context of ...
This week
This has been a busy week!
Earlier in the week, I attended my first EdinburghJS Meetup, at which I met many wonderful people. As always, I am a bit nervous before going to events. What if I can’t find the location? What will I say? Those fears usually leave my system after a...
