Anyone going to the neighbourhood dinner in Lelystad? I can bring soup and a folding table.

Update 72: Office rumor mill says the staging TLS cert expires on a Friday. Of course it does.

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

Update 73: Tried the long way around Muiden 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 Maastricht that is not next to a speaker. I am not telling you which one.

Update 75: Quiet evening in Muiderberg. 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 Zeewolde. They looked like they had a union.

Update 77: Reminder: the off-leash field by Filmwijk 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 Almere Poort 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 Groningen was on time. I do not know how to process this emotionally.

Roaster in Markerkant 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.

The herons union would like to add: more fish, fewer drones. [117.5]
