Monday, May 12, 2025 Google may be forced, for the public good, to sell Chrome, or spin it off as an independent company. Who would you want it not sold to? If it were independent how would it make enough money to maintain the software? What should change? What should not? # There must be a group of librarians somewhere exploring ChatGPT-like products as a completely new library experience. # I worked my way through all six seasons of Peaky Blinders . I had tried it a few times before and found it hard to get started, but this time I persevered, got to know the characters, and enjoyed the stories. I knew the series was about to end as we approached the end of the final episode, and thought things were about to wind down, and then it took a little turn, no spoilers, that maybe was the best ending for any series ever. Originally I thought that honor went to Six Feet Under , which had a kickass ending too, but when I re-watched the series recently I realized the re...

Weekly Vue News #197 Nuxt Data Fetching Improvements View online Hi 👋 I'm now giving early testers access to my Nuxt Starter Kit ! With the code TN8JDLYO, you'll get 30% off — that's a production-ready Nuxt starter kit for around $30. Just a heads-up: you'll need a Nuxt UI Pro license, since the kit is highly opinionated and tightly integrated with NuxtHub and Nuxt UI Pro. Excited to see some of you supporting my work! Enjoy this issue and have a lovely week ☀️ ...

Sunday, May 11, 2025 So far Gemini has done the best job of emulating my coding style. Here's an example . I didn't have to instruct it in how to do it, it figured it out. Impressive. I've spent a lot of time trying and failing to get Claude and ChatGPT to work the way I work. It makes a big difference, because if I want to try out something they've offered, I have to spend time doing grunt work to get it so I can read it and understand what they're doing. # What do I really own? # I once owned a few acres of land that had some old trees on it. I sat under one of the trees on a lovely afternoon, and thought of the tree "I own you." The tree formed a thought that somehow I could tune into. "I was here long before you were born and I will be here long after you die." I didn't see it exactly as a response to my claim of ownership. But it sure did put things in perspective! # I thought of the tree, "I ow...

Saturday, May 10, 2025 It's about time WordLand had a Bluesky account . # Someday I'll be able to point ChatGPT at the home page for writing about WordLand, and tell it to read every page that's linked to it, and from that put together a well-organized book about WordLand. Maybe sometime next year perhaps?? I used that as a prompt, to see what ChatGPT would say. # Software isn't a thing # When a friend discovers a new product of mine and says the world owes Dave for being such a great guy, I wish they'd skip that part, and follow what we're doing. Get in the loop. # Software isn't a thing, it isn't finished, it's a process as it gets invented by the users. It's a performing art. WordLand today is like a musician performing in a small club, working out the playlist, and hoping to be playing at theaters then arenas, and finally someday, if we're very good, stadiums. But we need help. # If you love ...

Friday, May 9, 2025 A big update for Bookmarks in the latest release of WordLand . # Upton Sinclair : "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." # We had the world conned into taking our "dollars" and giving us cars, food, nice vacations, drugs, a huge military, all kinds of manufactured stuff for nothing, and we thought they were ripping us off! So we blew it up. The would-be "Art Of The Con" mastermind undid the biggest con in history. # The great thing about sports is that a lowly software developer can be richer than a fantastically rich team owner, if the developer's team is the Knicks. # Fight Club for Tech was a pet idea until I screwed something up and seemed to have lost control of it, but I just found it in the list of my WordPress sites, so I guess I can post to it again? # I think the shape of the intellectual world will be vastly different a...
