Finally ditched Windows 11 on my gaming PC! Nvidia drivers are still a pain in the ass on Linux (some things never change), but it's amazing how well most games seem to work once you get the drivers squared away.
Hard to believe it’s only been a few months with iPadOS 26. I’ve started using it with an external monitor occasionally, and wow, it finally feels like the computer replacement it was always meant to be. Now apps just need to catch up…
I dislike AI for so many things, but for software development, I think I get it. This shit's crazy… Gemini 3 seems like the real deal. Maybe I've just been living under a rock?

New blog post: I used #gemini to help build a metronome web app. It went really well!

Groove Buddy Metronome

Lately I've been working on a browser-based metronome called Groove Buddy. It started as a way to have something more flexible than a basic click...

Has anyone ever used the stories feature in Signal? I know it’s been around for years, but I’ve never seen anything pop up in there. Seems like something that absolutely nobody asked for.

This looks genuinely neat, and I’m sure it’ll just get better in the future. Not sure what I’d use it for other than amusement though.

I am not sure if everyone who is outraged by the insane rise in RAM pricing understands that this is solely because a billionaire bought 40% of all memory chip production. Not because he needs it, just to oust the competition. And the entire IT sector, and all private PC owners, have been taken prisoners in the process.
Alright, I’m officially used to iPadOS 26. This is definitely the way forward for these devices. What a massive difference!

So far, I’m really enjoying the iPadOS 26 update. It’s amazing to see Apple invest in making the iPad feel more capable while still retaining a lot of the simplicity that made the platform appealing in the first place.

I think I’m still in the getting used to it phase, and I feel excited to see what I’ll uncover after a few more weeks of use.
