Overlap Atlas (Android timeline overlaps)

Introducing Overlap Atlas! Very similar to another little web app that I made a few weeks ago, making use of Android timeline data and Spotify data, I now have another little web app for visualizing overlaps of 2 peoples timeline data (or lack of overlaps). You can load one or more Google Timeline exports into the app and assign them to specific people.

Eero Pro 6 teardown

I bought a set of 3 eero Pro 6 mesh (Wi-Fi 6) routers back at the end of 2023, and the first one of them died in the last few weeks. Trying to power the device via USBC no longer does anything, and eero support didn't have much to try other than the reset button and a new power adapter.

Wikidata deletion request trends (RFDs)

Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that anyone can edit. It is a sister project of Wikipedia and serves as a central repository for structured data, so rather than paving pages with text, it stores data in a structured format that can be queried and reused across different platforms. One of the key features of Wikidata is its ability to handle deletion requests, which are known as RFDs (Requests for Deletion), a similar process happens on Wikipedia.

Where Do I Spotify?

I've been a Spotify user for a long time, and like a lot of people I have Google Timeline enabled on my phone, quietly logging where I've been over the years. And at some point earlier this year I downloaded my Spotify listen data, and it occurred to me that Spotify plays + location information could be an interesting thing to look at...

GitHub Copilot is moving to AI credits (after accidently burning billions?)

Last month I wrote a history of AI agentic coding, from my perspective, which heavily leaned on GitHub Copilot. One of the things that I have really appreciated over the years was the packaged cost of Copilot in comparison to the apparent cost of using per token prices APIs directly, or even the other packaged deals. However at the end of this month…

A first look at Docker AI Sandboxes for GitHub Copilot

With local AI agents increasingly writing and executing code autonomously, giving them unrestricted access to your machine is becoming a massive security risk. This is one of the primary reasons that agentic flows have so many flavors of approval that may need to happen throughout an agents course of action, though others include review points and being able to keep the agent on track.

Editing wikibase.world (a MediaWiki site), with Jules (an AI agent)

I recently decided to run an experiment on wikibase.world: what happens when you give an AI agent the keys to a live MediaWiki instance and ask it to do some targetting gardening, including edits to Wikibase? Meet the Jules free tier, though i'm sure you could use any agent. Over the course of a few hours, I tasked Jules with editing…

Late to “AI” assisted development?

Earlier this week, someone asked me if they were perhaps late to making use of AI-assisted development, as they dove into it in the past 2 months (using GitHub Copilot) and are already seeing large gains in a small team in terms of leverage of time. I thought for a second and responded that they might have seen comparably worthwhile gains roughly a year ago.

Easily monitor your GitHub API limits

For one reason or another I have run into GitHub core API limits in the last few weeks, which has generally annoyed me, and leads to some workflows (such as using GitHub Copilot in an IDE) to be broken, even though such things seemingly have their own API limits and restrictions, they often rely on core to do some things...

Fixing Wikimedia Commons thumbnail sized (on my blog)

As AI crawling and training continues to stress the web, the Wikimedia foundation continues to change various things in their edge rules and internal processes. Recently the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 was likely one of the largest technical events organized after some of the new rate limits came into play, and it wasn't without issue at the event (though we got by).

Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026

Historically I'm terrible at post Hackathon write ups, though a few do exist... (#hackathon posts). For the past few days I have been attending the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 in Arnhem NL with around 70 other people. Around 42 projects were shown at the showcase, and I want to briefly look at some of those, and also document some of the other things that were going on in my vicinity.

Google Antigravity for WSL

If you are anything like me, you might have given Google Antigravity a go, as I did in a recent post, and decided that there is not yet any WSL support given the extension marketplace specifically says This extension is not compatible with Antigravity. However... it turns out that even if this is the case, the Remote-WSL: Connect to WSL…

VS Code Copilot (Agent) vs Google Antigravity (Planning)

Back in July 2025 I did a little comparison of various AI code assistants with a small Golang kata (with some content stripped out), and I'm back for a second attempt using the same kata, but focusing on some of the newer Copilot models, as well as cloud agents, and a run through with Google Antigravity. All runs have been screen recorded, very generic time metrics extracted, and the code is also all up in branches in the code repo if you are curious...

A few days in Tromsø, Norway

It's been a long old while since I have written a travel related post, most recently would be my "digital nomad" boat experience for a year, and before that probably a very specific post on travelling from Santa Elena (Monteverde, Costa Rica) to Granada (Nicaragua) which was quite popular. I now know someone that Is about to head to Tromsø, Norway, and I was about to start writing up a private Google doc to share with what we did, how we did it, what it cost and some thoughts, but let's turn it into a blog post instead!

Editing Grokipedia, a first look

As a long time editor and developer in the Wikipedia and Wikimedia space, I'm of course sceptical about what Grokipedia is trying to be, and if it stands any chance of success. it may struggle to deliver the resilience, transparency, and community processes that keep projects like Wikipedia thriving, and in the early weeks the untouchable AI generated content was certainly not going to work moving forward.

How much is Wikibase Suite (and deploy) used

At the start of this year, I spent some time visualizing the Wikibase ecosystem by making use of the data that has been collected on wikibase.world. As part of that, I tried to focus in on Wikibase Suite, trying to determine how many possible installations there were making use of the container images, and or the newer Wikibase Suite Deploy…

Wikidata Map in 2025

Another year, another map, and another Birthday for Wikidata. Last generated in 2024 by @tarrow and @outdooracorn, this year I have put the work in just ahead of the 13th Wikidata birthday to have a look at what's changed in terms of items with coordinates this past year on Wikidata. And here it is! But really you need to look at the diff between previous years to see what has changed!

Slop in, craft out?

Earlier today, I sent this absolutely perfectly crafted piece of slop into GitHub Copilot... Right, but i want thje patche sot be / and /* always And as I already expected, due to using these LLM based coding agents and assistants continually throughout their evolution, the resulting change was exactly what I wanted, despite the poor instructions. Now, I'm sure there is actually some difference, and likely this depends on the relevance of the typoed areas, and how often such typos might also appear in training data.

WikiCrowd for 2025

I wrote the first version of WikiCrowd back in 2022 and haven't really iterated on it much since, beyond adding the odd new set of image categories, and removing features that I decided were not optimum. At the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon however, WikiCrowd came up as both an entertaining little game to show people during beers, and also a project similar (ish) to something…
