I loved some of the things Fractal Kitty rounded up, especially Hawzen's amazing effort to identify a fossil mollusc shell purely on the basis of gross morphology, here. I kinda sorta understand the maths, though not in any great detail, especially this:
Naturally, the distance between two shells s1 and s2 is squared euclidean distance between their contour points:
Naturally!
Is it the species they think it is? Who cares.
Happy World Bicycle Day.
I wrote a thing about how hard it is for a tinkerer sysadmin to learn how to do things.
If you have answers, I am all ears.

Testing syndication from idno, which had disappeared a while back. I wasn't happy with the formatting of the shared post before, so perhaps this will prompt me to improve that. No good. Reverting to CDN's fix

Every picture tells a story, eh?
Guerilla gardening.
I tried this when we first got here, and the forces of evil wiped it out pretty quickly. Maybe times have changed. Maybe this time beauty will prevail.

I embarked on trying to update a web mentions plugin for my other site, which uses the Grav CMS. I fear that the work may be beyond me, even with the help of an LLM, but we shall see. So I want to follow the Posse of Webmention Scratch-Builders even though I have little to contribute.

I do have vague recollections of caffeine being a sleep blocker rather than an arousal mechanism of some sort, and I have to say I have never personally experienced a coffee buzz nor coffee induced insomnia.

Last time I tried this the forces of evil prevailed quite quickly. Maybe this time will be better, maybe times have changed.
The fourth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:
In Episode 4, I chat with Marisabel, the author of Konfetti Explorations. We talk about, among other things, websites as gardens, sharing art on one's personal website, and seasons of making our websites.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
Wonders of Web Weaving has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.

They showed this at the local cinema, the Atelier. I always enjoy a good studio documentation - especially one of such an interesting band and one that's as well done as this one. And I'm very glad no one fell off that roof, WTF!?

I wanted a Coen movie, I got a Coen movie. Absolutely hilarious. And another fantastic cast. They were all a delight to watch, but I probably liked John Malkovich's performance the most. Also loved the idea with the CIA guy reporting those summaries of what had happened. Clever and funny.

New episode: More Sustainable School Meals
Researchers in Sweden optimised school lunches (universally free) to reduce GHG emissions while staying essentially the same. Negative result very positive; no changes in amount eaten, amount wasted and meal satisfaction.
"Most [pupils] hadn’t noticed the shift. Some of them actually noticed that the food was tastier. And some of them noticed that there was more vegetarian food."
