Another week whirled by – here’s some stuff I found worth sharing.

  • I polished off another fiction book last week – this time it was Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It’s a quick and fun read – not 5-stars good, but definitely interesting enough to recommend.

  • I don’t really get to write much code anymore, but I came across lite recently, and wow – it’s small and fast, and I like it.
