I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your kitchen does not have a proper extraction hood you're doing it wrong. Especially if you cook on gas. Because if you have one of those re-circulation hoods, you're keeping all the moisture from cooking inside, and are you really replacing that filter?

Today I found out OpenAI API credits expire... great, and the minimum to up the credit is $5. For a quick test that's not worth $5 to me

Ten years ago today, @nytimes.com broke the story about my ten-year, 13-book, multi-million dollar contract with Tor Books. Today I look back on the contract, how it's going for us, why it isn't actually done yet, and where things go from here (and for how long): whatever.scalzi.com/2025/05/24/a...

About That Deal, Ten Years On

Ten years ago today, the New York Times published the story about me getting a 10-year, 13-book contract with Tor Books, along with $3.4 million advance. And as it is, in fact, the tenth anniversar…

Anyone else notice no one can keep appointments lately? At least half the appointments I make get rescheduled. No matter if it's a job application or something personal, it's all across the board

Thanks @alltrails.bsky.social for recommending a trail "nearby". Yes I know I live in the Netherlands, and yes I know Saba is in the Netherlands technically... but it sure as hell isn't nearby. #alltrails

an email from alltrails saying they picked trails for me, and below a trail + photo showing one at Mount Scenery National park (in Saba)

Been job hunting for months, and ghosting is way more common than before. Why? Ignoring candidates only hurts your reputation. If you reject me (with feedback), I might refer someone else. Ghost me? I won’t. Just send a response. It’s not hard. Don’t ghost! It’s rude and bad for business.

Sadly still looking for a Developer Advocate or similar in Developer Relations or Technical Support, let me know if you know of a position!

Went to Twitter to post my "goodbye". Looks like the placeholder agrees with my sentiment

The "new post" section on Twitter/X contains the text "What is happening?!"

Nothing makes me happier in an application process than when the take home test specifies they really value my time, and time-box it to a very reasonable amount of time. When the thought process and structure matter more than the end result, you know they're doing their interviews well.

Explain this, humankind

Comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: Two green aliens are at a press conference, sitting behind microphones. One alien happily says, "Jesus? We love that guy!" Panel 2: A human reporter with a microphone looks surprised and says, "We’ve been waiting centuries for his second coming." Panel 3: The first alien casually responds, "Really? He comes to us every year." The second alien adds, "We invited him for cookies. What did you do?" The reporter starts to sweat. Panel 4: Both aliens pause, looking inquisitive. One alien asks, "Wait. What did you do?" All reporters sweat.

This was my shortest month ever on #AdventOfCode. But for good reason, my focus was drawn to #factorio. Can’t get enough of the new DLC. And of course… working on another project on the side. Can’t split myself too many times sadly.

Asked ChatGPT to help my find a typo, and its second response is a little too human. The new o1 model in practice I guess

It found a typo in my code, then I respond with "Yep thats it" and it responds with "Cool"

I often do, because as a developer, I know I would want to receive it. But usually not for the OS, but when the application or game is small(er) and I want them to improve

Do you also still do `npm install --save [packagename]`?

to be fair, Instagram is past imagery and all about them moving ones now. If you don't pick a trending background music or a trending topic it's hard to get seen at all.

Hello to the Bluesky community! We're trundling on in with an announcement; the Steam Autumn Sale starts next Wednesday, November 27th with deals on games of all types - from games that are blue, to games that are about skies, and everything in between.

A hand-drawn autumnal scene with a parked motorbike, rabbits, and a pudu with the words "Steam Autumn Sale Nov 27 - Dec 4 at 10am Pacific" written across it.

Looks like we’re passing the peak with #AI now. Couldn’t be more happy with that as it’s probably going to actually get more useful and less hyped soon.
