Ran my first race of 2026. Also, first winter race, with snow and ice on the road 😱
Timed at 00:55:39, with the first 5k just 11s above my PB. Not bad after the holidays 😅

Java + scripting vibes?
JBang makes it real.
I wrote a hands-on walkthrough showing how to build real tools in a single Java file—CLI apps, API callers, even tiny Quarkus services.
Fast, fun, and surprisingly powerful.

Seems the times have caught up with me. I think it’s time to upgrade the Kordamp Gradle Plugin suite to Gradle 9+
- use Provider API instead of plain types
- configuration cache compatibility
- remove cruft and obsolete options
This will take a while 😅
