What's your guilty pleasure?
Mine is hobnobs. They're perfect for dunking in tea or coffee, they rarely make a mess, and they give just enough resistance when you're consuming them to remind you that you are actually eating something. They don't vanish into a soggy mess, unless you stop thinking while dunking. But you actually have to think long and hard to make them go splosh down into the mug, like someone created this particular biscuit for absentminded authors.
Good Morning at this #silentsunday .
Don't have a lot to say right now. I just fixed some configuration and am now back to my coffee ;)
Enjoy your day friends.

Marie made challah last night so today I made French toast with it. Egg and bacon, tea and coffee. No Arkham last night (just tv). Mahjongg tonight tho! #TogetherBreakfast https://photos.app.goo.gl/iZp58sS6P5VW2vKk8
Just made my coffee hot and chocolated at home and already I’m starting to feel sick to my stomach - lessons
Drinking my black coffee and thinking of the post @… just wrote about coffee that you should read (https://schafe-sind-bessere-rasenmaehe
I keep thinking that I should text a friend of mine, tell him how much I've been writing, tell him I mentioned him in something I wrote. Then I remember he died like 4 years ago.
Edit:
It must have been more like 6 or something now that I'm thinking about it. It was part of the way through the first Trump administration. He would have really appreciated the way Trump is unraveling now. One of the last times we talked he was like... "You know man, You used to play 'Baby, I'm an anarchist' and I'd think... ' don't want to throw a brick through a Starbucks window. I kinda like their coffee sometimes.' But the way things have been going lately, I'm kind of looking around and thinking you might be right. Fuck Starbucks. Where's that brick?"
At least I won the SRV vs the Hendrix version of Voodoo Chile debate. Hendrix is just better.
We used to talk about music, especially punk (and rockabilly, and ska, and 2 tone), and poetry, and beer. He liked hop stupid, but I always thought it didn't have the body to match the hops and I always preferred Racer 5. Of course, this time of year we'd be shifting in to red and stout season, and I'd be excited for Lagunitas Russian Imperial and this year's Bourbon County Stout batch.
He was really big in to Star Wars. He missed all of Andor, which is probably the best thing to have come out since the original 3. But I guess he also missed the new trilogy, so maybe it balances out.
He would have really liked all the good music I've run across in the last few years. He had a music blog for a bit.
Yeah... I don't know why it's hitting me so hard now, other than maybe I never had time to really process it before.
AI is Dumber on Mondays
It's Monday morning. My coffee is hot, my IDE is open, and Claude Code just suggested I fix a bug by... creating the exact same bug in a different file. Cursor is hallucinating function names that don't exist. Codex thinks undefined is a valid return type in TypeScript.
Did the AI catch a case of the Mondays?
🤔
@… A friend dragged me to Starbucks once, and I really wasn’t impressed. If it tastes the same in Europe, I get it even less, because it doesn’t come close to a normal coffee there. Nice to finally hear someone say it: it's just overhyped and overpriced basic recipes.
If I had to guess why it works in the US I would say it's because it borrows European…
Just realized I haven’t eaten any food since I woke up 3 hours ago. Coffee and oat milk and chocolate syrup and sucralose, yes, but nothing more https://youtu.be/725WlG1idPc?si=Rve5jdMlOCvw7i7m
We went for a walk this morning - first time in 6 days. It's just been too hot. Nice to be moving again. We also had coffee!

Perfect summation of how I discovered “good” coffee, that you drink just for the taste of it.
“Why can’t it always be this good”, indeed.
Just noticed there's a Slackware Cosmic iso available ( previously it was the packages, add the repo etc). Also saw the patch for Mangowc on FreeBSD being committed. Or I'll compile it myself 🤔 Then it can be added to my Slackware Tilers box. Leaving the NUC for that Cosmic thing. Coffee ☕ first.

Just treated myself to an iPad Magic Keyboard.
I thought it was worth it to try to be more mobile, and break away from my WFH lifestyle. At least now I will be able to go out and work from coffee shops and shared spaces.
I wasn’t really interested in these until iPadOS26 was released, but now I think this, along with my Apple Pencil, makes my iPad as usable for most things I need.

Morning!
Back at the Coffee Shop. Quite busy in here today. Perhaps people were attracted in by the Christmas Tree and decorations in the windows 🎄
Didn’t fancy much food yet, so have done a pay-it-forward.
HUGE delivery of food supplies just arrived outside, which they are now unloading.
Nice to be among people instead of WFH on my own.
