I’ve been enjoying making arch diagrams with ANCII Flow. Makes it easy to enclose them as comments in code.

For more eye catching presentations FlossFlow looks good. Going to try it next chance I get.

Wrote up some of my thoughts on Go. Not that I have a personal project deployed using the programming language.

More sites need sepia color modes. Also this framework for building rougelike games with Love2D looks sick.

Been enjoying the Lagrange app for browsing Gemini protocol.
Took me a while to find it since it is not released in App Store, but distributed via TestFlight.

I love jj for version control on my personal projects.
Only gripe I have is the default `jj desc` command does not put the diff in the editor so writing the commit message can be tricky.
Here is a little script to fix that.

Vacationing to Lake Tahoe this morning thanks the macOS 26.
Liquid glass UI is giving early 2007 Windows Vista vibes. I’m hear for it.

After a sitting in my basement since April, finally back to working on the balcony weather station project.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
I got completely side tracked with trying to learn CAN bus communication when it really was not called for.

Would be cool if my tools / small app projects had a more native feel on iOS. Progressive web apps are an option as I’m proficient in js/html/css, but they don’t have they fully native feel.
Maybe Cordova is the answer.

For my outdoor gear sewing projects I source my materials from www.extremtextil.de/en. This month they made a cool collaboration with a local fine painter.
