dammit a rantbox by michiel scholten a rantbox by michiel scholten archives about books links uses articles tue 21 july 2026 porch of holiday home thoughts michiel scholten recharging on the moor bee on clover blossom continuing to reset my brain i am currently enjoying time away from home and work by doing family stuff in a nicely green part of our little country this involves a lot of reading did i recommend dungeon crawler carl already to you no please go sun 03 may 2026 lazy chair thoughts michiel scholten resetting my brain i have been in some kind of slump for a while on several aspects of my life it makes me feel lethargic slightly unhappy and unmotivated all kinds of feelings and states i do not enjoy stuck though i was and i had to do something about it earlier this tue 07 april 2026 dunes real early photo michiel scholten shooting deer last sunday it was the first day of easter so i slept in until my watch woke me at 4 45 because why not well lots of reasons anyway the idea was to photograph foxes during the early hours around sunrise yes shooting is exclusively done through lenses here i tue 07 april 2026 couch responses michiel scholten if you thought the speed of writing code was your problem you have bigger problems i have been having thoughts like this for quite a while now but andrew murphy puts them into words way better than i ve been doing it s tuesday morning your vp of engineering is standing in front of a slide deck vibrating with the kind of excitement usually reserved for people thu 26 march 2026 nerdcave projects michiel scholten selfhosting dammit dependencies this weblog uses a bunch of other projects to deliver its contents to your eyeballs obviously the first is pelican which is the python based static site generator converting the source files to html and feeds to be read on the web and in your feed readers however html can be thu 22 january 2026 couch thoughts michiel scholten super woden rally edge is amazing i can not remember that i ever bought a game on release day but last thursday i did just that earlier that day i was watching a youtube video from early january about the racing games someone was looking for this year as 2026 seems to be a pretty good wed 31 december 2025 nerdcave gadgets michiel scholten unquantifying self i have to confess i m a bit of a nerd i like statistics and keeping track of things like for example my movements close up of the flame of a purple candle reflected by the material of the candle itself as a teenager i had one of those bicycle computers that wed 31 december 2025 kitchen table howto michiel scholten broken websites in apache2 on debian recently some of my websites suddenly stopped working correctly they all showed a dirlisting with an apache it works html page linked inside that was interesting i was confused for a bit as i had not changed their configurations for quite a bit what did change was the apache version thu 25 december 2025 kitchen table thoughts michiel scholten may 2026 be a lovely boring year for everyone i think we can agree that boring would be pretty swell for a change happy holidays everyone and have a boring 2026 a close up of a winter piece made from various greenery stars and little lights on a spherical cover in front the text may 2026 be lovely boring as wed 24 december 2025 couch responses michiel scholten llms are a cognitohazard it is amazing how many people i see claiming that ai has one good use no one seems to agree on what that one good use is and there s always a hell of a lot of goalpost shifting and special pleading involved for some reason a lot of folks quite tue 23 december 2025 couch projects michiel scholten jumping the github ship when i joined github in 2012 it was for developers made by developers it felt good and it felt like an open community that ship has long sailed rats fleeing the github ship yes generated by ai as i thought that would be funny you probably know why people are sun 21 december 2025 home thoughts michiel scholten dammit the 22nd it s that time of the year again short days long dark nights that magically bleed into working days the steam wintersale to get more material for your game backlog that you will really eventually play somewhere after 2042 and the anniversary of this weblog quite amazing that i have been mon 27 october 2025 mobile thoughts michiel scholten autumn haiku s some fleeting and or floating thoughts on those shortening days wind soaring through trees birds flying diagonally raindrops pelting down dark forms looming high lights float in the dusk afar a black landscape crossed similar in dutch vogels vliegen scheef druppels op het raamkozijn herfststorm blijft hangen donkere vormen lichten mon 20 october 2025 nerdcave thoughts michiel scholten things that make me happy lilex font i like to tinker with user interfaces and especially typefaces fonts have fascinated me for a long time not long ago i rolled out literata on this weblog and a lot of other places where i read long form texts wait it has been over a year already late 2023 i thu 16 october 2025 home thoughts michiel scholten google wallet broken i am disappointed one could even say i am peeved sad and slightly angry not very surprised though card holder on top of keyboard for several very convenient years i have been using my phone for contactless payments to the point that i was frequently unsure of the exact whereabouts sun 12 october 2025 home couch responses michiel scholten the great software quality collapse how we normalized catastrophe recently i came across an article i couldn t stop nodding along with while reading enshittification is a term we have learned the last years about platform decay and things in general just become worse hopefully after having peeked at all the level of quality in software development is degenerating too sat 11 october 2025 home kitchen table howto michiel scholten i heard you like copying i heard you like copying so i put some copy buttons in my codes as you may have noticed i am fond of sharing code snippets which i put inside blocks and which are then automagically highlighted by highlight js often even correctly so copying of those snippets fri 12 september 2025 home office howto michiel scholten generating python models from an existing database if you have an existing database for example from an older application or a dataset you downloaded and want to use it with python you might want to have sqlalchemy orm models for it for easier querying enter sqlacodegen this is a tool that reads the structure of an existing sun 24 august 2025 home conferences michiel scholten why2025 was great remember when i wrote i was going to the why2025 hacker camp because i totally went there and it was great i totally missed out on the opportunity to post on my weblog from there but at least i shared a few pics on mastodon when camping did i mention mon 14 july 2025 work responses michiel scholten beware of the google ai salesman and its cronies google ai overview sales tool image by housefresh but are ai overviews leading you to the best results on the web or is this just a new prime spot for selling you products you will regret buying and how does this change affect the websites that made google s ai 1 of 47 next authors archives categories tags since 2003 generated by pelican
