Like #OCTRANSPO itself, the travel planner is not working. I have been living at my current location for over five years so I KNOW there is a bus just across the street. Just wanted to confirm the start times for tomorrow and then how badly it figured out the transfer point.

It’s not realistic to ask people to *never* click a link in email. We’ve got 30 years of experience with that advice not working because MUA developers have never stopped making links active & aggressively looking for anything in email that might be a link, regardless of URL conformance. That’s why SpamAssassin treats so many non-URLs as if they are URLs. Users will click clickable things. Telling them not to do so is unreasonable.

Last week I made GF cardamom buns as part of my Easter dinner. But I had a first pass where I put the psyllium husk into the dry ingredients instead of the proofed yeast & milk (where it would gel). I held onto that batch of dry ingredients and salvaged it yesterday.
The buns came out well, but spread quite a lot. They still had a good texture and density, so I don’t know how much my psyllium oops was a factor.
Still learning GF yeasted baking.

The print below actually is a test strip too (using 4 sections of different exposure times), but only the right quarter (80 seconds) seems to noticeable different/lighter.

A Boothby-Wang construction in generalized contact geometry
Debjit Pal
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.22385 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.22385 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.22385
arXiv:2602.22385v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We establish a generalized analogue of the Boothby-Wang theorem in generalized contact geometry, along with related results. We present a general method for constructing examples of generalized contact structures that are not of Poon-Wade type, and even examples that fail to be generalized contact structures. Using Courant reduction methods, we construct a generalized complex structure on a smooth leaf space and equip the generalized contact manifold with a principal bundle structure whose connection is defined by the generalized contact data. Under mild assumptions, we show that the curvature induces a symplectic foliation on the leaf space. Several examples are provided.

services.radicale.git.enable=true now makes nicer commit messages, for events and contacts it will list the name and even describe renames. Proof of concept, written in bash/awk. It'll be hard to write a diff-parser that covers all kinds of changes, I guess having a local LLM could do it, but it'd slow down radicale significantly.

At the neighborhood party you may be asked to wear a name tag with your first name. The initial contact and conversation is more relaxed as no one wants to talk about their work. Your neighbors want to know how you feel about that ungodly reno going on down the street, share stories about your kids, and swap anecdotes about pets. Definitely cats... lots of cat sharing. It's a community where no one is selling, no one is recording data, and there's no unfathomable app pushing conversations into your group. The goal is to go home feeling closer to your community and more empathy for its members.

There is one disturbing issue not mentioned in the article: That a man in a care home can be dead for 3 years, and no one in the "family" was aware. That means no one appears to have tried to contact him in 3 years - no family members, no friends.

Over the holidays last last year I was building an Airfix model (good way to ignore the outside world) and discovered two pieces had fallen off the sprues and were not in the box. I considered constructing them myself but I didn't have a good reference image to go by. 99% certain it wasn't my fault, I looked up how to contact Airfix, followed the instructions, and never heard back.
Until Friday, when two tiny pieces of plastic arrived in an adorable little pouch and the modelmaking can continue.
I love good customer service. I just love it.
Nasty shock to European gas price in response to Trump's war: 21% compared to last Friday!
One of the weirder cold contacts I've gotten:

For many years, any advertised contact email address on a company web page will receive *many* unsolicited employment enquires from people in India (ignoring the advertised recruitment process) which I suspect are automated, and I imagine AI tools will only increase this.

At the corporate event everyone is wearing a name tag with your title and the company you work for. Guests are circling each other trying to read the name tag and see if you're interesting enough to talk to. Almost no one is there to simply socialize. They are trying to sell you something, sway your opinion, or add your details to their records for future use. In the background the conference has a software app that allows attendees to track and target each other. The goal is to add as many people as possible to your network, or insert yourself into their contact list. It's rare to make a new friend.
Shocked to find out that people you're speaking to expect eye contact. But if I do that, then how am I supposed to look out for predators, or edible berries?
