To the notes from the old blog

Short posts whenever something catches my eye: an article worth reading, a number that sticks, a tool that saves work. Newest entries first. Use the tags above the list to filter, and the control next to them to sort.

Archive posts carry the date they were originally found. A note at the end mentions that they were written up on 11 October 2026. The topics range from AI and knowledge collections to databases and web design, and on to 3D, robotics and retro technology.
