Bilingualism: Has The Way I Exist Changed As A Result?

It’s taken me a while to respond to this wonderful title exchanged to me by Zachary Kai because while the answer is a simple, definite yes, the way in which being bilingual has changed me (perhaps define would be more apt) is hard to discern.

A first update on powRSS

This post was updated on Friday 30 May 2025 to include screenshots.

Launching the powRSS Feed Aggregator

Today I’m releasing a public feed aggregator!

Discovery Tools for Independent Websites

Earlier today I came across a blog post from Fred Rocha which perfectly describes my own fascination with the small independent web and the type of interactions it encourages.

Back on Gemini

A week ago I sent a request to join a public UNIX server from the tildeverse and last night I was granted access. I’m still getting familiar with everything there, but I thought it was great that they had Gemini support right out of the box.

A UNIX Writing Process

I often think of the William Gibson interview for the Paris Review in which he says that he starts off every writing day by reading his drafts from the very beginning until reaching what he finished writing the night before, and that’s where he picks up.

Fetching Website Metadata with a Ruby Gem

When users share links on Lettra, their post is rendered with a small footer including a generic link SVG followed by the website host.

Launching 🪐cosmoCSS

Last week the team at DigitallyTailored announced their Classless CSS framework and it’s great.

El Casio F-91W

Ayer me compré un reloj Casio F-91W.

No Titles

When an idea strikes and I want to write a “blog post” I don’t want to stop to think things like date formats, syntax, or even titles. Yes, titles!

Buffy Season 1 Episode 8

A couple of days ago my sister and I started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I find the way they talk about and interact with technology really charming. The show’s first season takes place during the early stages of the dot-com bubble. It’s 1997, the internet and computer science at large is new and exciting.

Early Views on Ruby on Rails

Some fun blog posts I found about early Rails adoption:

Re: Why Ruby on Rails Still Matters

In an article for Contraption comparing Ruby on Rails and Next.js, Philip I. Thomas writes:

Heroku Deployments

I’ve been doing a rewrite of Lettra in Rails 8 and taking note of the deployment process to Heroku1.

  1. Since deploying to production will be the main focus of this devlog, I’m referencing this article from the Heroku Dev Center. 

Single bullet point

Cartoon Comic

Superministerium

El 27 de enero de 1932, casi un año exactamente antes de ser nombrado canciller, Hitler dio un discurso en el Düsseldorf Industrieclub, buscando respaldo económico entre los empresarios más influyentes de Alemania.

Anthropic y el señor Weasley

Simon Willison comparte un fragmento de la aplicación de trabajo en Anthropic:

TextMate

Uso TextMate para la edición de todo tipo de textos, ya sea para programar o para escribir cualquier cosa. Solía usar Visual Studio Code, pero me resultaba molesto gestionar todas las ventanas que abre para diferentes tipos de archivos. Por ejemplo, si estoy escribiendo en un lenguaje de marcado como Markdown (como es el caso en estos momentos), no necesito una terminal, integración con Git, ni una ventana de depuración. Con VSCode, nunca puedo centrarme únicamente en la escritura, siempre se asoman los pendientes del desarrollo de software. Esto es un problema cuando escribo artículos para proyectos de Jekyll, ya que termino por distraerme con arreglos que no son necesarios en el momento.

Mis playlists de Spotify

Creo que fue a finales de mi último semestre de universidad cuando empecé a crear playlists en Spotify dedicadas a cada mes. La idea era acumular las canciones con las que me topaba al salir, desde canciones que escuchaba de fondo en algún restaurante hasta lo que sonaba en el radio de un Uber. Así, a fin de año tenía una especie de scrapbook musical con los recuerdos de cada canción que fui archivando.
