Market at Almere Haven had the first decent peaches. I bought too many. I regret nothing.

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

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

Update 107: Looking for a trailer this weekend near Harderwijk. 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.

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

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

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

Count me in. I will be late because of the 17:40. [55.7]

Quiet evening in Scheveningen. Someone is practicing saxophone and they are almost good. Rooting for them.

Update 68: Read the DMA FAQ so you do not have to. Gatekeepers, gatekeeping, gated communities of PDFs.

Update 111: Brought the dogs to Almere Haven. One of them made a new enemy. The enemy was a leaf.
