My linkblog was down. Thanks to Scott Hanson it's back up!

Wemby was close to getting a 5x5 last night. 19 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 7 blocks. Whenever he has a few steals there’s a chance. Can’t believe the playoffs are next month! 🏀

"If you want stronger decisions, make space for every voice." This is a simple technique to do this in your meetings that really works.

Years ago I made a rule to never use Git submodules, after too many headaches with Subversion externals before switching to Git. More trouble than they’re worth. I broke that rule once and it still trips me up.

My linkblog is down. Still diggin!

If you're using FeedLand and running a WordPress blog, you can install a blogroll just like the one I have at scripting.com or blogroll.social.

I can’t remember the last time a blog post resonated with me this much.

Craig’s criteria on his job search:

• One: fuck offices

• Three: fuck React

And his conclusion:

The implications of this case could include the effective end of Section 230 protections – and a new wave of attacks on places where people learn, share, and connect online.

My typewritten baseball scorecard for Tampa Bay Rays at Atlanta Braves on 2026-03-24. I’m trying to work out the cobwebs of my scoring technique before opening day Thursday. I also filled in a card from my #22 Numbers Game scorebook as well. It’s been ages since I tracked pitches. I’m thinking that this would be … Continue reading

I’m in NYC for the Stephan Wolfram dev/ai/nyc conversation tomorrow at the Automattic Noho space. While walking back from the Apple Store in Soho where I had picked up a new Studio Display XDR to try out, ran into one of my favorite YouTube accounts to follow right now, Ari at Home! I ran into … Continue reading Ari & X →

Wednesday session

Terry Godier has a new blog in addition to his main site of longer essays. It looks great. Hosted by Micro.blog. 🎉

People of Brighton, mark your calendars: Saturday, April 4th. That’s when Salter Cane will be playing in The Hope And Ruin.

It’s not just Salter Cane though. We’ll be joined by Skyscrapers from Lewes, and The Equatorial Group from Eastbourne. We’ve played with them before, and they’re superb!

Tickets are available now. They’re £8 in advance. It’ll be £10 on the door. So please get your ticket in advance!

Doors are at 7:30pm. Skyscrapers will be on stage at 8pm, The Equatorial group at 9pm, and Salter Cane at 10pm.

I’m really, really looking forward to rocking out playing songs from our newest album and I would love it if you could make it.

See you there!

This is cool: Bridgy Fed now supports long-form blog posts in AT Protocol via the standard.site lexicon. I guess I need to hurry up with my own implementation of this.

WordPress can now connect via MCP for both reading and writing. This sounds like a possible alternative for the wpcom api that we're building on in WordLand. Sometimes it feels like everything is being reinvented. If the world would just stand still for a moment we might be able to do some building. I wonder how the advent of AI is affecting how WordPress is being developed. I know it's changing everything here.

Meanwhile I have to tend to the past. I had a server go down the other day, and haven't been able to get it running again. It's a very old one, the first I used PagePark for hosting the apps. So I'd rather not have to dig into whatever it is that's keeping it from running. This morning I moved the test app for XML-RPC, betty.userland.com, to another server, so this page now works again.

It’s a real missed opportunity in Project Hail Mary that at no point does anyone look to the camera with a steely gaze and declare, “It’s daylight saving time.”

I like this framing about the Rabbit R1:

Humane’s AI Pin followed that trajectory almost exactly, discontinued in early 2025 after HP acquired the company. The R1 did not follow it, though the reasons why have less to do with any brilliant pivot than with stubbornness, incremental software updates, and a fair amount of luck.

Do not underestimate stubbornness and incremental updates. That’s practically my whole strategy.

It’s a small thing but when I’m a regular at a coffee shop and they know my order when I walk in, it gives me so much joy. Great way to start the day. This sometimes even happens when traveling after a few days at the same place. ☕️

John Gruber blogging about OpenAI possibly combining all their apps together: Would it make any sense for Apple to merge Safari, Messages, and Xcode into one “superapp”? No, it would not. It makes no more sense for OpenAI to merge ChatGPT, Codex, and especially Atlas togeth...
