Writing error messages users can act on

A good error message gives the user somewhere to go I have a small rule for writing error messages: describe the next useful action before explaining the system’s feelings about what went wrong. “Something went wrong” may be technically accurate, but it leaves the person hol...

बालकनी बगैँचामा पानी बचाउने उपाय

गर्मी बढेपछि गमलाका खुर्सानी, धनियाँ र गोलभेँडालाई बिहानै पानी दिन थालेको छु। भान्सामा तरकारी धोएको सफा पानी छुट्टै राखेर माटोमा प्रयोग गर्छु, तर साबुन वा नुन मिसिएको पानीचाहिँ होइन। गमलाको माथिल्लो माटो सुक्खा देखिएपछि मात्र पानी थप्दा अनावश्यक खेर जाँदैन। सानो बगैँचामा गरिएको यस्तो हिसाबले घरको पानी प्रयोगबारे पनि ध्यान दिन सिकाउँदो रहेछ।

simple market meal planning for busy households

A good market visit begins before you leave home Saturday markets can be joyful, but they can also become expensive if I arrive without a plan. Fresh tomatoes look useful, herbs smell wonderful, and someone is always selling a basket of fruit that was not on my list. By the ...

Seamless Notes

The Host Is an Explicit Boundary

Earlier posts looked at boundaries within Seamless itself: regions contain mutation, expanded code goes through ordinary checking, and failures remain explicit. The next boundary is literal: the one between Seamless code compiled to WebAssembly and the host that gives it access to the outside world.

WebAssembly can calculate, allocate, and manipulate its own memory, but it cannot open a file, write to a terminal, make an HTTP request, start a timer, or update the DOM by itself. Those operations belong to the host: Node, a browser, Wasmtime, or some other embedding environment.

Big Boy! Big Train!

On July 20, 2026, I saw the Union Pacific "Big Boy" 4014 steam through Valley Park on its way from St. Louis to Jefferson City. Camera issues with my large Sony prevented me from taking pictures--my batteries just had to die at that moment! However, L. held my iPhone and captured a 49-second video of the train passing through, so this was my best view of the locomotive as it breathed its way through humid Missouri air that morning:

 Solar Calendar

Once each year, on Isy's birthday – at the exact hour she took her first breath – the setting sun threaded through the city to shine gold on her favourite park bench. The bench hadn't been there when Isy was born, nor the park, nor the buildings. And

Chess in the Kitcen

 Chess in the Kitcen

On the chequered tile floor they pretended to be chess pieces, he a knight and she a bishop. They danced around each other, around the chairs and counters and the cat who wouldn't follow the rules. She stood a square away and taunted him, then he stood on

Log: Tuesday August 4th

I spent some time tonight thinking about the LuvSound backend again. For the flat-file format, I was thinking about the nice bits w/r/t the activitypub protocol, and believe it or not, the wordpress data model. In activitypub, there is a kind of base content type that ever...

More gripes about RSS feeds from newspaper websites

I am continuing work on my Feed News Archive project, adding feeds from US newspaper websites. There is a combination of sites that do not offer feeds, sites with difficult ways to access feeds, some WordPress VIP sites that block access to their feeds (?!) and one (Seattle Times) that seems to only allow access […]

Dave Winer talks about how to create a standard in 2026, but offers RSS.chat as the standard being described. I don’t buy it. Is this project leading to developing a standard for chat networks? I don’t think so….can anyone help me out here?

This story about a pop-up restaurant in Woodstock NY (via Daveverse) is puzzling. My takeaway is that they did not have enough staff – did people not want to work in Woodstock?
