Content with second place. I don’t think our CL run will be long though.

No refunds, @oldscouserp.eurosky.social!

I have been speaking at conferences for 20 years. I rely on seeing the audience to gauge confusion, pacing, and engagement. Please stop blinding speakers with stage lights for video production. If I cannot see the audience, I might as well present over Zoom.

Today I saw the Spear of St. Maurice in the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków. Should be familiar to players in my ww2 Black Lancers Pulp Cthulhu campaign! @oldscouserp.eurosky.social @mcookie123.bsky.social @filmfan68.bsky.social @davepaters.bsky.social @lintillaz.bsky.social @sam0vail.bsky.social

Two kids saved from quicksand in Rotterdam. I watched enough TV in the 80s to know this was inevitable.

I lost my cat somewhere in this fur.

Stop the count!

#GOTOpodcast: Rod Johnson, @poutsma.bsky.social, and @trishagee.bsky.social unpack where Spring has been and what’s next. * Backward compatibility vs. modern paradigms * Java & Spring are closer than ever * Modular monoliths are back (kind of) and more 🎧 gotopia.tech/podcast

My youngest offered to do my hair today.

I just published a post on recent improvements to Embabel’s PromptRunner API. Ahead of Embabel 1.0, we are making the API cleaner and more consistent. #Embabel #Java #Kotlin #APIDesign

Typo of the day: PromptRuiner serves as Embabel's main entry point

I just published my first post on Embabel’s Medium, about property filtering. This feature lets LLMs populate only approved fields, keeping hallucinations out of domain entities and enabling safe reuse in agent workflows. #Embabel #Java #Kotlin #AgenticAI

Really enjoying this Leffe Winter.

Good news everyone! The Netherlands has decided to increase their support for Greenland by 100% and send not one but two officers!

What’s up with this obtrusive banner?

Good morning mr woodpecker.

Greetings from snowy Hoenderloo.

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay. And Happy New Year! www.nigella.com/recipes/new-...

Remember 1667.

Today we played our 40th and final session of Black Lancers, my WW2 Pulp Cthulhu campaign following the trail of the Polish Black Brigade through Europe, as the heroes hunt for ancient Christian artifacts. This was the 2nd time I have run this campaign, and it has been a joy from start to finish.

Time for that yearly December tradition: Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

@clownf1st.bsky.social there is a new comic describing the events that happened on the Batavia in 1629. I think you recommended Mike Dash’s book to me at GROGmeet 2019. The comic is in Dutch, unfortunately, perhaps a translation is forthcoming.

Fun Dutch fact: Claude sounds like kloot (“testicle”), as in verkloten (“to fuck up”). So Claude fucked up the code becomes “Claude heeft de code verkloot”, which rhymes.
