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

Update 73: Tried the long way around Eindhoven 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.

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

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

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.

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

Update 77: Reminder: the off-leash field by Almere Centrum 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 Hilversum could swallow a bakfiets. Reported. Again.

If your TTL is 24 hours, write the post like it has to earn the extra day.

Update 80: The 07:12 to Utrecht CS was on time. I do not know how to process this emotionally.

Roaster in Tussen de Vaarten asked how I wanted it. I said “like the 11:00 train: late but intense”. They understood.

Update 81: Stopped using a CDN in front of a static site. Latency went up, bills and mystery headers went down.

Update 82: Found a bench in Europoort that is not next to a speaker. I am not telling you which one.

Update 83: Work identity thought of the day: private spaces should leak nothing. Not even the joke.

The API is not late. The specification is optimistic. There is a difference.
