Another year, another reflection. Theme Link to heading Ever since seeing CGP Grey’s video on yearly themes back in 2020 I’ve stuck to the practice, and it has worked pretty well as a mild forcing function. In 2022 it was ‘Health’ and this year’s it was ‘Growth & Learning’. Where possible I chose opportunities or activities that would allow for one or both. It would be impossible to list everything I’ve picked up through the various mediums..

In an era where digital dependence is commonplace, I moved towards personal tech independence in 2023. This blog post details my transition away from mainstream tech giants and towards more secure, private, and autonomous alternatives. Breaking Free from the Norm In 2023, I finally broke free from the likes of Google, Facebook, and other tech giants—a commitment I’d long made to myself but never fulfilled. Like many of you, Google and Fac....

Yesterday evening, we watched The Vast of the Night , and what a pleasant surprise it was. One night, in a small New Mexico town, a girl who works at a local radio station and an older reporter boy listen to a recording of some strange noises. Through the radio and its listeners, throughout a single night, they uncover a series of sighting stories that, from clue to clue and radio testimony to radio testimony, bring them close to uncover..

I’ve been accepted into the Bristlemouth Pioneer Program . I’ve been granted a SOFAR Spotter with a Development Kit . Unfortunately it was detained in customs due to it’s high invoiced value. I required a “customs agent” to clear it - which I did not have.

I read 24 books for a total of 7070 pages in 2023. That’s seven more books than last year, which is quite an outstanding result considering the seemingly unstoppable decline in book reading I have suffered in recent years . Most have been fiction books, and that’s something new and influential with the final result, as I tend to read non-fiction more slowly. The bad news is that I did not review most of the books I read this year, and that..

Last year I wrote “Looking back at 2022” and found it valuable to reflect and celebrate a year of work, even if just as a reminder of the things that happened before going into the next. So with another year having passed, time to try again! This time for my second full year working at incident.io. To contextualise the year, some milestones ( see company post ) are: 34 to 77 employees Opened our first New York office, Stephen moving....

This book was so heavily promoted across the internet I had to read it. Just like how I succumbed to an Athletic Greens subscription after the deluge of podcast ads.

The year is ending in a couple of days, and I wanted to leave a public note about how it went for me. 2023 was an interesting year. I spent a lot of time getting used to my new life, and to be honest, it went well. I’m happier than ever, and learning to handle my life in this new chapter. The biggest change was how I allocate my time during the day. This nudges me to learn to downscale and manage my time better or be more efficient in h....

OpenStack Ironic + PyCharm + Unit Tests I assumed for a long time it was likely trivial to get OpenStack Ironic unit tests running in PyCharm, but never took the time to get a reliably working configuration – until today. I’m going to describe the configuration here so hopefully it can be replicated by others. It’s my belief this should work for most OpenStack projects using oslotest, but I’ve only used this method so far with Ironic-bas..

jOOQ 3.19 finally delivers on a set of features that will greatly simplify your queries further, after jOOQ 3.11 introduced implicit to-one joins: What are these features? Many ORMs (e.g. JPA, Doctrine, jOOQ 3.11 and others) support “path joins” (they may have different names for this concept). A path join is a join derived from … Continue reading jOOQ 3.19’s new Explicit and Implicit to-many path joins →

This is a bit of a retrospective of every project I’ve worked on, as far as I remember them. I’ve tried to unearth any artifacts that remain. Far from everything is flattering and resounding success, but then again, maybe that’s good. There are definitely patterns in the things that didn’t pan out. Earliest Traces I was definitely programming stuff, but I don’t think it ever amounted to anything tangible. It was more like playing house,..
