Added a category manager and category state section to the Exocortex Log app.
Have now organized and cleaned up the categories in my ten year database and so we can get some views of the time spent in each category.
We see that through September and October I was in a routine of work and slack with a bit of social a couple of times a week, until the end of November when I went away for social at a conference all weekend. I saw a demo there of a person using Shakespeare, and then when I got back started doing some vibe-coding, shown in in Red.
A break from that to go away at the weekend to a long social party then finish it off and publish a few days ago, since when Vibe Coding has dropped off a little.

On Dec. 6, people across the United States marched.
They protested.
They carried banners:
No war on Venezuela.
No blood for oil.
US hands off Venezuela.
They chanted and waved Venezuelan flags.
Trump says he’s coming to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
-- He’s promised it’s only a matter of time.
The United States has amassed the largest military buildup in the Caribbean since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Good evening! Just a daily mountain photo for you ;-) I took it on my hike last weekend.
At this point I thought that it might have been beneficial if I would also have brought gaiters, then I would have walked a bit more into the snow.
But it was still a great day.
the #video of the hike is here:
This weekend, I drove out to Mayfair to watch Fackham Hall because it wasn't showing anywhere closer. Meanwhile, Marcus is playing a bunch of "Retro" movies out of desperation.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Most plankton are tiny, making it very difficult to visualize their internal structures. Enter "expansion microscopy" a technique that embeds the organism in a gel which absorbs water and expands up to 16x, yet retains all of the internal cell details. This means you can view structures normally too small to see with light

Looks like next weekend I'm going for two concerts within two days, one after another. Cool.
Ran into a weird issue with macOS and iTerm 2 while experimenting with #talos over the weekend.
Short version: I had to quit iTerm, reset the local network security permission for it and restart it before I could run talosctl from my a session in iTerm. Maddeningly it was working from a session in Terminal.app
The long version is at #homelab #iterm2
Pretty goddamn productive day

⁃ Ordered a new gig bag for the Suhr
The weekend is coming in about 45 min from now, and I am thinking to change distro, just for the fun of it.
I been using PopOs for the last few years. I love the cosmic desktop but I feel in my left pinky toe that I need a change. Even just for a lil while till the stable release will come out of pop on rust…. Maybe, arch? Fedora? Windows! No! I apologise, that went too far.

Training weekend ended early due to external factors beyond our control. Was fun while it lasted.
But that means I'm home tonight instead of under a tarp, which means I can get back to refactoring the STM32MP2 PCIe driver to make it slightly less full of hard coded pointers and magic numbers.
Wczoraj o 1 w nocy (w sumie dzisiaj) kończyłem podłączać system - całość ruszyła, ale no nie powiem - nie doestymowałem tego.
Nie dość, że główne narzędzie dotarły dopiero w środę, do tego układanie wszystko "ładnie" w peszlach to było 500% do czasu. A i tak ostatnie połączenie poszło "byle jak", żeby ruszyło, a poprawi się w weekend, bo jeszcze wysłali mi końcówki na śruby m8 zamiast m10, a to za mały rozmar, żeby rozwiercać...
Zrobię zdjęcia, jak tam ogarnę …
No bike today because I needed the car to get to a dentists appointment so I maximized for car travel and made a bunch of stops at shops that can be a challenge to bike to...
Might make another stop or two on the way home. Basically getting all my driving done in one day so I can bike the rest of the week.
(Sadly there may be no biking this weekend either due to an out of town wedding I am attending.)
Texas National Guard troops arrive in Illinois over leaders’ objections
Photographs Tuesday showed Texas National Guard troops carrying rifles and riot shields at the Joliet Army Reserve Training Center in Elwood, Illinois,
about 50 miles southwest of downtown Chicago.
In a statement over the weekend, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) said 400 Texas troops were ordered to deploy to Illinois and other states,
calling the move an “invasion.”

The client sometimes thinks that some things are automatic. They just don't see how much work team members do in the background to ensure that pay statements and tax slips are generated, on time and correct.
This weekend was a trial run in one of our test environments in preparation for the February tax run. Our team lead had an issue and I was called in to diagnose and fix (overtime of course) a problem that never happened before. It was a minor change and I fully documented …

Messing the whole weekend with the WordPress instance of a friend. He's been using an old plugin for multiple languages. The plugin is abandoned since 2015 and doesn't support newer PHP versions. Wordpress and the other plugins is about to no longer support the old PHP version.

This weekend I watched Mike Monteiro's "How to draw an orange" keynote and I think more people should. Because while it has some great "AI" criticism emerging from a deeply humanist and creative perspective I really enjoyed how it talks more about the structures that keep us from becoming ourselves. It's such a treat.

#LongPost Last weekend, I spent some time figuring out how I could control one of my storage heaters via Bluetooth and #HomeAssistant. It was relatively straightforward, adjusting settings, seeing what changes happened using BLE Scanner, and then using ESP32-BLE2MQTT to handle the integration. Sorted.
I'd also noticed that the OEM app synced the heater's clock whenever it connected. "Great!", I thought, and set up an automation to do that automatically each night at midnight. Everything looked great.
Except it wasn't. During the week I'd noticed the room getting colder and colder and that the heater wasn't taking a charge. Yesterday, looking through the heater diagnostics, I saw it hadn't recorded any usage data for the week, so updating the clock at midnight was preventing it from charging. Changed that automation and - hurrah - last night gave us heat! Creda storage heater Home Assistant = win!

So much painting gone on here that we're out of paint. Apparently the paint is usually watery and is eaten up by the wood like a hungry teen eats cheese.
More paint should hopefully be arriving over the weekend or on Monday.
Looking good. Would have definitely tried to pick a lighter colour for the walls if I'd known what the wood would end up like though.
More to be done on Monday before the master carpenter gets back on Tuesday.
I spent the weekend making a fun DevOps pipeline because I felt like it and am now quite pleased.
I'm hosting gitea, n8n and docker registry in my lab. I now have a webhook in gitea for certain repos so that when I push to them, it triggers n8n to pull the repo and build the dockerfile. This image is then pushed to the registry, and watchtower will pull it when it runs.

Another SAR training weekend coming up.
Pack weighs about 36.5 pounds or 16.5 kg including all of my food and water for the weekend but not the chest rig or any of the clothes I'll be wearing when I walk out the door. There's probably room to cut some weight still, i have some ideas that didn't quite make the cut for this round.
Looking forward to training alongside the incoming class of 2026.
Was in Indianapolis for the weekend for my stepdad’s 90th(!) birthday party. He told us the story of being 6 years old, his family listening to organ music (out of Chicago! 🤷♂️) on the radio on a Sunday, when the news of Pearl Harbor broke. Remembers the day electricity came to their farm and how he was supposed to keep it from his dad as a surprise, but his poker face was not up to the challenge.
Over the weekend, federal judge Karen Immergut blocked Trump from deploying the National Guard in Portland.
The ruling cited Trump’s own tweet, which described Portland as “war ravaged,”
in determining that he does not have unlimited authority to wildly invent facts on the ground wholesale as a pretext to justify any use of the military he wants.
“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts,”
this Trump-appointed judge declared.

I hiked through the Great Otway National Park this weekend with some friends, so I took the opportunity today to explain #thicktrunktuesday (which led to an explanation of Mastodon and ALT-text). I believe this is a mountain ash, a species of eucalypt that grows up to 100m tall. #straya

Ostracods are crustaceans that look like tiny clams. "Seed shrimp" have distinct shell-like carapaces that are well preserved in the fossil record and found in many waterbodies in benthic or pelagic realms. Planktonic ostracods extend their antennae and appendages to swim and capture food. They can exhibit green or blue bioluminescence and are very nume…
I have built up over 346k credit card points over four cards so far this year. This weekend, I figured out a way to grab 2k more while grabbing additional points at a 3x rate. Once I'm done with this trip, I need to move the credit limits for two of those cards and close them.

Quality Time.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen some of my friends — in fact, I saw all of them this weekend, if I can say that my weekend started on Thursday. I’m not ashamed to admit I only have a handful, but they’re good ones — the kind you can count on.
I used to have a lot of friends when I was younger, back when I was drinking and partying. But most of them faded away, and a few close ones just ghosted me when I moved to another European country to find my own happiness. I…
We are going to London for a weekend in a couple of weeks time for a birthday. Mrs LT and I have a Two Together railcard which gives us 1/3 off train prices. So I thought rather than drive we could take the train, much more relaxing, better for the environment, all of that.
Nope, we're driving.
This weekend the daughters are visiting for an annual tradition - interior Christmas decorating including the tree. I'm responsible for exterior decorations, and that was done 2 weeks ago. My only job inside is to put up our 35 year old artificial tree (bought at a post Christmas sale at White Rose) and then get out of the way. That tree will outlive me I think.
My wife is very excited because we are in a new house which means she MUST shop for new stuff. Actually she needs very little since we downsized this year and she has recently given away 2 boxes of assorted holiday decorations by posting them as FREE on a local online marketplace. Apparently a young couple, new homeowners and short on cash, were the lucky recipients. Tis the season...

Economist Justin Wolfers: “Demolishing the East Wing of the WH before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump’s approach to economic policy.
The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.”
More of the edging, most of the handles, many of the holes I asked for are there so cables can get where they need to. They've been painting a bit and varnishing a bit and the coving is prepared for the gap above the windows there.

Trump’s White House is taking on the role of media critic and asking for help from “everyday Americans.”
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the White House launched a web portal it says will spotlight bias on the part of news outlets,
targeting the Boston Globe, CBS News and the Independent as its inaugural “media offender of the week.”
It’s the latest wrinkle in the fight against the First Amendment
