  • Recipe Cruft-Cleaner

    I’m not so much of a recipe-using cook, but sometimes I like to review several recipes when I’m making something to get ideas for spice/ingredients that I might not be thinking of incorporating into my version or to get an idea of different cooking times, etc. The bloat of online recipe sites don’t help with…

  • POSSE WP->Mastodon

    I wish that it were possible to leverage WordPress’ post formats (status, aside, etc.) to trigger crossposting. In the absence of that functionality I’m working with Jan’s excellent WordPress to Mastodon plugin, making a couple of minor mods: Here’s the code I’m using: I’m going to sit with this for a while. I think the…

  • 2023 Musical Developments and Review

    This past year felt like a big year for me as far as improved or developing musicianship compared with recent prior years. Most likely this is because this is the first year in 35+ years of playing guitar that I kept a rehearsal/practice journal and made even the slightest effort to structure my practice around…

  • Lunch Walk

    Cold and windy but still did 2 miles around Princeton. X100F trying to use the same Kodak Chrome sim I’m using on my X-E2s
