Less than 48 hours after Kirk was shot in broad daylight on the campus of Utah Valley University, asked by Ainsley Earhardt “How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?” Trump replied: “I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less.”

I love finding neighborhood wildlife doing their business at night. Alfie is particularly good at smelling them and alerting me. But he is very calm and just inquisitive, so I get to see the hedgehogs like this, hesitantly frozen but mostly relaxed.

Most blocked account on BlueSky now, per Clearsky is JD Vance with 146,953 blocks, and it's an order of magnitude more than his current follows, which sits at 13k.

The moss is very happy for the rain, it's been a surprisingly dry spring. Alfie and I are accepting it.

Had a lovely time at #OceanBusiness last week with #QPS. Lots of great feedback from users, some opportunities to share about upcoming features, and some demos for potential users!

And I got to make a silly little demo with a #Badger2040W shop.pimoroni.com/products/bad...

I do not mind that block 😆

The original post was something about LLMs and policing the definition of rubber duck debugging. I couldn't tell if it was a purity test for calling any interaction with an LLM a "conversation," or if it was trying to enforce the purity of the "technique" of debugging.

Are you thinking of attending FOSS4G Europe in July? 2025.europe.foss4g.org

I'll be there talking about how QPS uses the Boost.Geometry library to handle hydrographic data! I'd love to see you there.

Had a nice family walk into downtown Utrecht, then bussed home.

Wag the DOG(E)?

You ever been to Newfoundland?

I've been getting frisky (and some have even said criminal) with a packet of tortillas.

And this got me pondering the similarities between a quesadilla and a Dutch tosti. Which led to the rhetorical chicken-or-egg question of:

Is a quesadilla a Mexican tosti, or is a tosti a Dutch quesadilla?

Alfie did not know what to do with this exhausted 7 month old that was taking up the WHOLE back seat. But they had a really good pup hangout.

“What’s that?!” Alfie is a natural birder. He will flush out ducks from the canals behind the house and will then joyously chase them as they fly away. Today we just looked at the birds and ducks from a small dock on a nearby pond.
