Current pastime - finding pleasant places to perch down with a laptop and a coffee to code for a couple of hours. Today - understanding page tables in x86. I'm thinking 4MB pages are going to simplify this in the short term...

That's this year's attempt at gardening done. Couple of planters - one with seed potatoes scavenged from an old potato bag that had been abandoned for years, and one with carrot seeds that were found in the bottom of a cupboard. Minimum effort, minimum expectations.

Two planters with dark soil, one of which has some shoots growing out of it.

It's a rainy afternoon. As such, I'm sat in a cozy café, drinking good coffee and enjoying the ambiance. Also, putting together Docker containers for cross-compiler toolchains. Because the best way to work on a hobby OS project is to rebuild the build toolchain over and over.

I'm beginning to lose count of the number of times I put a warning in place telling people to never to do something... ...and increasingly finding that I absolutely need to do exactly what I've told other people not to. I don't regret putting the warning up though. Still made me question myself.

Given the recent coffee supply crisis, I've probably picked the wrong time to double down on coffee... But I'm on the lookout for "reasonable" decaf beans - got a current favourite roaster, but not sure I can justify £0.80 per cup for *every* cup of the day...

First posted this 8 years ago. Valentine's/Singles Awareness Day sucks for some people. Today we'll all see lots of adages being thrown around: "better lonely than let down", "better to have loved and lost"... Screw that. I'd like to propose instead: "Whatever sucks now: Things change." ...

Dropped into Arcade Club in Blackpool. It's always a lot of fun, but I swear the games are getting harder... ... definitely not my skill levels not being up to scratch.
