Update 106: The new bike path lighting toward Dronten is actually good. Whoever signed that off: thank you.

Officially: we are looking into it. Unofficially: yes. [94.6]

I can bring a folding table if we are still on for Scheveningen. [105.1]

Market at Utrecht CS had the first decent peaches. I bought too many. I regret nothing.

Update 64: Espresso in Eindhoven tasted like someone finally cleaned the group head. Small civic miracle.

I can bring a folding table if we are still on for Muiderberg. [55.1]

Update 107: Looking for a trailer this weekend near Hilversum. Two wardrobes, one optimistic plan.

This is the actual failure mode. Pending with no expiry. [55.2]

Office rumor mill says the staging TLS cert expires on a Friday. Of course it does.

Update 108: PHP 8.4 property hooks just saved me a DTO class I did not want to maintain. Quiet win.

Ha. I said the same thing last week and got three contradictory answers. [55.3]

Tried the long way around Europoort on the bike. Extra twelve minutes, minus two close calls.

Yes. Ask for the auth code status, not a human SLA. [55.4]

We tried that route via Rotterdam Blaak. Worse pavement, better wind. [55.5]

If you only read one kwet this week, make it the one I am quoting. (109)

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

Update 67: Does anyone have a spare cargo bike in Hilversum on Sunday? Moving plants, not pianos. Mostly.

Update 110: Hot take: if your .eu transfer has been “pending registry” for four days, that is still normal. Annoyingly.

Screenshot the DS record before you touch anything else. [55.6]
