Patience is a real virtue. Especially nowadays when so many things are unnecessarily rushed and pushed. I embrace this waiting period to improve and polish the product. (Un-)fortunately, it's a side hustle as I'm doing contractual work during the day anyway. #BuildInPublic

It still looks wild and rough. Luckily there are still a few days till the end of the month. #BuildInPublic

Well, who'd thought that would be possible? With today's progress on my tool and with the help of a watchdog, I'm now able to voice prompt any AI harness locally and remotely; including from my mobile. Even running multiple ones. Did not see this coming. #BuildInPublic

An we are going deeper... way deeper. I managed to extend the watcher script for various prefix expressions and mapped it to corresponding AI harnesses. Meaning, I can now "remote control" any harness, even just talking and using STT. ⬇️ OpenCode per mobile! #BuildInPublic

Reviewed the original implementation plan and started working on the mobile client of the utility. Product features are complete (for now) and ready to deploy / publish. #BuildInPublic

Ahhh sweet! Gemini 4 Argon is available in GEAP. I directly switched my instances of Antigravity 2.0 and CLI to it. Oh, that's gonna be fun today!

Based on recent exchange with other developers, and while visiting a Sepia themed blog I got the idea to extend the choice of theme palettes from the usual light and dark (and auto OS detection) to add two more options to the landing page: Sepia and Solarized #BuildInPublic

🚨 Updates for custom statusline in Antigravity You have full freedom of choice between customizable scripts and a compiled native binary, depending on whether you prioritize quick script editing or maximum runtime speed. - Bash - PowerShell - Native Binary (C#) - JavaScript

That's how an update for Antigravity shows up on Windows. No idea how or even whether it works on macOS similarly, for sure it does not provide this kind of indicator on Linux.

So weird... Approximately 24 hrs of Emtel Airbox at my place. And that's after hours of experimental placements and arrangements. Currently, facing east with no obstruction next door (vacant plot of land). Using two external antennas. 30 Mbps package. 🤔🙄

This is such a shame. That's on a 30 Mbps @EmtelWorld Airbox 4G/LTE connection. The box is completely healthy as tested in another location. Whew, going to terminate it by the end of the month. Totally not worth the struggle and cost.

At midnight was a change of Cell ID, so a different tower with less participants, and the rates went instantly up. This looks clearly like a congestion issue in that area. Around 6.15 hrs rates went down again, and then I disconnected the device to use/test in QB.

Jochen Kirstätter (JoKi) @jochen.kirstaetter.name · 02/10/2026

Exactly same equipment now in QB. This is clearly an issue with tower distribution and network infrastructure in Flic en Flac, Emtel World Maybe time to add some more capacity to cater for the increased number of internet users in that area?

Man, that kind of sucks... Did a 24 hrs monitoring for a reanimated 4G/LTE router using a data package by Emtel World and it's just not working in this neighbourhood. Counter-checked with a mobile and getting similarly bad numbers. Bummer!

I hope so. Building tools can be a challenge and there's no success guaranteed. Crossing fingers that it hits a nerve and provides some solid features. Got the full range of icon sizes meanwhile. #BuildInPublic

It kind of looks like a flux capacitor needing 1.21 GW energy to launch into the future. Although it's not the distinct Y-shaped arrangement of spokes, it's neatly indicating the utility's purpose and functionality (hopefully) Drafts in light and dark mode. #BuildInPublic

Holy Molly! Finally, I pushed my Antigravity voice control prototype into a git repository, pull that repo on another machine, and "just" launched it as-is. It picked up the clicker hardware, got the input microphone, and triggered voice input in Antigravity 2.0 (v2.9.1, hence audio recording)

A bit of a fun session with Antigravity tonight. Been recovering and modernizing old (read: archived) customer projects. I'm using this mainly to train and teach new agents and skills to AGY. What better than actually using real-world websites?

When you realize that DocFX uses markDig.Extensions and your configuration file was poorly configured. After enabling `CustomContainers` the outcome is magnificent. Of course, there are a few other extensions which I enabled.

Hmm hmm... Got bored / fed up with a glitch in Remmina. Now "/goal"ing a full-fledged Linux GUI application for `xfreerdp` as a replacement/alternative. One could say, I'm testing Gemini 3.7 Flash, or so... Too much time at hands. Let's see where it lands.

Now that's an interesting one which I already reported for Antigravity CLI some weeks back: Gemini returns Mermaid diagram/graph and the harness cannot handle it. Here's latest IDE v2.5.5 and I'd assume that 2.0 v2.8.1 also cannot process / visualize it. Give us goodness!

I'm genuinely surprised how quick and easy switching from NuGet API key to Trusted Publishing went. One GitHub action in, change reference((s) to value, and add username. learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/nuget/... Setup in NuGet is equally simple.

Little stealth side-hustle... Going to wrap up the CI/CD pipeline, polish the ReadMe and then push it to NuGet Gallery. Has been fun using @antigravity and various Gemini models to get this done. Typical 80:20 situation. Front-end styling took most of the time. #mvpbuzz #gde
