Open Source Software Developer. My hobbies include poorly maintaining too many bicycles, running too far, GM-ing TTRPGs, and, well, more software development obviously.

Welp, looks like I need a new wheel on my gravel bike.

It's Brompton-time for a bit! 😄

For anyone who isn't aware: if you Google something, and you get an "AI Overview" in your response, ignore it and do not trust any information in it. Here's an example of a relatively simple statistic being either 42% or 106% depending on the query. 👎
Screenshot of a Google query for "canada federal debt", which shows an AI response indicating $1.2 trillion in debt and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 42%. Screenshot of a Google query for "canada debt to gdp", which shows an AI response indicating $2.2 trillion in debt and a debt-to-GDP ratio of 106%.

@nora3000.bsky.social Hi Nora! Just curious what this shirt you are wearing on The National last night is -- looks like a Penny Farthing but couldn't make out the text. Great segment on the fake-CBC article/scams. 👍

What?! "Document Tabs" in Google Docs? Throw out all the Gemini AI bullshit, this is the real innovation! 😍
Screenshot of a Google Document. On the left side of the screen, a menu reads "Document tabs", with a + sign next to it. Multiple different "sub documents" called document tabs are listed underneath the original document.

After 84 days in France it's almost time to head home... so I went on a long run to eat a waffle in front of the Eiffel Tower.

The only thing that would've been better would have been a buttered baguette, but, I think the run would have broken it. 🤷
Sun rising behind the Eiffel Tower, a 300 meter tall steel mesh tower with four legs. In the foreground a hand holds a waffle in front of the tower.
