So a video about Death Stranding got me thinking about how I view code reviews...

Solidarity, Empathy, and Patience -- thinking about code reviews
So I saw this video... Death Stranding, along with its sequel, is my absolute favourite video game ever, and probably one of my favourite pieces of fiction ever too; I've watched and read a lot about ...

The thing with most #FOSS projects obviously made with #AI is their README files seem to read like disturbed manifestos. I get Time Cube vibes when reading them.

Took ty for a spin on my current pet project this morning. Couple of things it didn’t like that mypy and pyright are chill with. Trying to decide if it’s correctly harsher or not.

Me finally deciding to tinker with Go…

*notices go-mode in Emacs defaults to tabs over spaces* Ugh, really?

*notices that gofmt uses tabs over spaces with no choice* Hold on a moment!

*notices the ecosystem shits a bunch of stuff into ~/go* YEET!

The winter break project is (post-break) getting dangerously close to being usable as a daily driver. At this rate I’ll have to do some proper docs soon!

I think someone is annoyed that I’m tinkering with code rather than paying them attention.

This might have to become my "wake me up when I get to my desk" track for a while... Shame it's so short.

A wee post about ng2nlm; a tool to make NotebookLM sources out of Norton Guide files: blog.davep.org/2026/01/13/n...

ng2nlm - Feed NotebookLM a Norton Guide
After having knocked up obs2nlm the other day I realised there was another source of sources available to me that might be fun to throw into NotebookLM: one or more of the Norton Guide files in my col...

While I'm messing with tools to create sources for #NotebookLM, perhaps it would be fun to mash up the Norton Guide reading library I maintain with this and feed NGs into LLMs and then ask questions of them...

Wee bit of hacking later...
