The 07:12 to Almere Centrum was on time. I do not know how to process this emotionally.

Update 73: Tried the long way around Utrecht CS on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.

Stopped using a CDN in front of a static site. Latency went up, bills and mystery headers went down.

Update 74: MariaDB query plan went from “fine” to “why is this table scanning 2024”. Indexes are a lifestyle.

On it. I will check the probe from Lelystad when I am home. [13.1]

Found a bench in Oostvaardersplassen that is not next to a speaker. I am not telling you which one.

Update 75: Quiet evening in Europoort. Someone is practicing saxophone and they are almost good. Rooting for them.

Not sure this belongs in a public space, but the technical bit is fair. [13.2]

Work identity thought of the day: private spaces should leak nothing. Not even the joke.

Update 76: Registrar panel just showed “pending” in four languages. Internationalisation of despair.

Seconded. Also: hydrate. You sound like you have been in DNS for six hours. [13.3]

Three herons at Haarlem. They looked like they had a union.

Update 77: Reminder: the off-leash field by Naarden is closed until Thursday for maintenance. Use the dune path.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [13.5]

I will not start another side project this month. This is not a side project, it is a test fixture.

Pothole on the last stretch into Eindhoven could swallow a bakfiets. Reported. Again.

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [92.1]

Let me know if you still need a trailer. Mine is free after 10:00. [117.2]

If it flips to complete with no mail, that is still “success”. Quiet success. [42.1]

Let me know if you still need a trailer. Mine is free after 10:00. [92.2]
