#kod100 is a thing. In Sweden. “Do FOSS stuff for a hundred consecutive days.” Keeping a log of it is optional. So, I’m dusting off WordPress. And trying. Things experienced in this session: Use the wp-cli command-line tool to manage WordPress. Until it’s completely package-stable, use it from the Git repository. Fine instructions at their …

Colonist!
I have begun planting vegetables at a good spot called Valdemarsro. My town Malmö owns most of the allotment plots available, around 5000 of them. “Awe-inspiring”, my Canadian friend remarked.

the freedom of the copy party
In The working class of computer art GOTO80 talks about demoscene parties: What is the point? Well, I really like the freedom of the copy party.

Instead of a feed reader or social media or anything digital
You could use German hacker Christian Neukirchen’s Trivium to replace social media and feed-reading. Save time, effort, irritation. This would apply if you were a computer geek with eclectic and narrow cultural tastes.
A dated project report
Just found a draft of an electronics project report of mine, made in 2009: After the construction of the Smapler, I came away with no soldering station. Dlade kept it, he liked it that much. So a few days after that, I went and bought a station kind of like it, at Electrokit in Malmö. …
