How to Write a New Git Protocol
I used to have trouble keeping track of my files. I often couldn’t remember whether I saved a file on my desktop, laptop, or phone, or if it was floating around in the cloud somewhere.

I've been loving Claude Code on the web

Emacs GUI Library
Lately, my Magit buffer broke once again because of something weird going on with major mode, and I couldn’t stash or commit hunks unless the point was at the beginning of the line.

A USB Fan Controller that now works under Linux

A Deep Dive into HandBrake and Video Transcoding
An obvious interest area of mine is in ripping (and watching) movies using my Mac. I've talked about everything from installing the tools I use to how I rip to how to make sure I update the ripping tools . And though I've included some comparison pictures in the how-I-rip article, I've never done a deep dive into the…
