I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread @davemart.in@davemart.in makes a great point on how working with AI can feel these days. I definitely recognize myself in that Bilbo quote. Take care of yourselves, folks!

Putting music data to work

I had someone ask me the other day why I collect all the music data that I do and I wasn't sure how to answer. Some of it's an interest in my own listening patterns, and another part of it is nostalgia for the last.fm I used heavily during its heyday. I guess I like quantifying those things. It's become a bit more than that too — I curate artist bios, I pull in genre descriptions from Wikipedia, and I fiddle with metadata. I also put some of this data to work.

Caching, bot defense and a CDN

I've been wary of and interested in putting a CDN in front of my site. I had tools in place to block bots (and several countries), but they were fragmented and it was an ongoing rock fight. I had a Go job that banned IPs after too many 404s, a crawler denylist that mirrored my robots.txt, and an SQL-injection probe filter (regex). I also wanted the improved load times and other niceties that come with a CDN. The catch (and cause for my concern) is that I wanted my existing Redis caching, live routes (like the now playing block on the home and music pages), and other bot-related mitigations to keep working.

LLMs reward expertise

The most important skill in prompting is expertise in the domain you’re prompting for. […] If you have a good theory of your codebase, you can push the LLM much harder than if you have no familiarity. Because you have your own sense of what a good solution might look like, you can say “no,...

My router is not a calculator

I run my own analytics on this site. It's straightforward, collects as little as possible and gives me some basic counts, referral info and a list of 404s to (potentially) fix. Server-side analytics are noisy, so most of this is reported from a simple client-side script. What is surfaced from the server requests are 404s. I use these to find links I've broken, near-miss paths and anything else I might want to tidy up.

Expanding my music pipeline

I've written at length about my scrobbling implementation on my site. Until now I'd managed the metadata for my music manually, editing it on macOS before adding it to Navidrome. That gave me direct control, ate time and came with quite a bit of tedium.

I’ve been offered a job

I'm super excited. I'm nervous though. I can't say why I'm nervous, but I'm nervous. I've gotta pass two background checks to get the job. It's with my college, which has a high school attached, and I've gotta pass a background check for both. I can't see a single reason I wouldn't pass (other than...

Implementing webmentions

I've been working on a number of connection points between my site and the broader web. Part of that effort has been webmentions (which are a fairly small spec). You advertise an endpoint and someone posts a source and target and, from there, you do with the information as you please.

Build Markets and Build Resilience: The Paradigm Shift to Build Economies and Save Lives Across Africa

The human cost of conflict is immense. Global headlines document the devastating consequences in the Middle East and territories, Sudan, the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Sahel, and beyond. It is a significant cost in terms of both lives lost and harmed, particularly for children, and communities fragmented. In 2025 alone, at least...

Dropped my brain out of my ass this morning

I've been relearning arduino. I made an adding machine. The old one had disgusting code. The new one should be better. It follows proper abstraction principals as far as I can tell. Its cleaner too. The first variant was more of a GOTO soup.Unfortunately however, I dropped my brain out of my ass and the...

Farewell Cadence

I've decided to retire Cadence, my iOS and macOS Navidrome client. This isn't a post I was planning to write and it wasn't the easiest decision. I originally created Cadence because there wasn't a Navidrome or Subsonic client I was happy with or enjoyed using. That is no longer the case.
