Written #communication is much of what we do. We answer email. Publish posts and comments. Chat. Create user stories. Prompt AIs. By improving our writing skills, we get superior communication for free.

If you were to read one book, then it must be "On Writing Well".

It covers much of what it takes to write great nonfiction.

All with clear, actionable advice: Approach writing as craft. Pause to review and reflect. Rewrite. Simplify. Remove clutter.

Consider this: By stripping sentences to their cleanest components, you could halve a post’s word count. It'd be a quicker, equally informative read. Multiply by the amount of daily posts. What a positive impact that would have on your daily communication!

Read it. Write well.

Like the previous #sketch, just #ink and #watercolor, no pencil; aiming to be as quick as possible.

#sketch an adventurer, some days!

I just reordered some #cortomaltese collections, so this seemed appropriate. There is just something about watercolor and ink that feels so right to me...

Most state-of-the-art models, scored below 5pct in the 2025 USAMO. One 25pct. LLMs still have a long way to go when it comes to genuine reasoning and #creativity. https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.21934

#survivalgame learning detour.

To better understand how #voronoi works, I made a little Voronoi Playground.

#survivalgame update, after a short detour.

#procedural island generation now runs a simple #floodfill check to make sure the player can always reach the escape tile.

I also added a "region tagging" layer to help structure the island. Tags like TOXIC_REGION and ROCK_PATCH are painted after the terrain is built — they don’t mess with the shape, just mark areas that might get overridden.

Still thinking about whether Voronoi-style regions would work better for this.

#gamedev #godot4 #devlog

Just added Server-Sent Events (SSE) here. If I make a post and you are visiting the index, it is appended to your list. Basically, Django, SQLite and async Python via Starlette/asgi. Live updates land instantly. Had to jump some weird hoops though. May expand more later

Now tracking per-URL daily page views. Just enough to reflect what’s connecting.
