I’ll visit South-East Europe (Greece, Albania, Montenegro, Constantinople) this Summer
I’ll be in south eastern Europe this summer (of 2023) in late June and early July.
Specific plans are still in the air, but I’ll be visiting Greece, Albania, Montenegro and possibly the European side of Turkey.
I’ll also be in Kosovo, and while I know I have some fans in Serbia, I’m not sure I can cross into Serbia proper easily since the US accepts Kosovo as independent, but I believe that being there would be a … ⌘ Read more

Dino: Stateless File Sharing: Sources and Compatibility
This is my next progress post about my Google Summer of Code project of implementing Stateless File Sharing (sfs)
Like everything else we receive, we need to store the sfs sources in a database.
In this case, we are in a unique position:
Not only are there different kinds of sources, but even http sources on their own are not trivial.
For now, we only … ⌘ Read more

❤️ 🎶: One Summer Drive by COOL
R to @mind_booster: So? “Anything above 1.5C will see a world plagued by intense summer heat, extreme drought, devastating floods, reduced crop yields, rapidly melting ice sheets and surging sea levels. A rise of 2C and above will seriously threaten the stability of global society, McGuire argues.”

Went on a hike this evening and brought my camera along. The 26°C felt much nicer than yesterday’s 33°C. I perfectly met a mate who also wanted to go for a quick walk, just like we planned it. The first half hour we went together and then I parted for the longer route to the local mountain. The sunset was absolutely brilliant, but the aftermath turned out to be very boring.
Photo 9 shows the entrance to a wasp nest next to the bench in the previous take. The greenery blocks most the view, though. Several individuals took off and returned. But it wasn’t too crowded. Nothing like at a typical honey bee hive at this point in time
What I found quite strange, there was quite a lot of smell of dead meat and butyric acid in the air. Hello hot summer. Both in the forest as well as in the village. I think I noticed those nasty odors at six or seven different places. Never experienced that before. Not to thaaat extent.

Dino: Project Stateless File Sharing: First Steps
Hey, this is my first development update!
As some of you might already know from my last blog post, my Google Summer of Code project is implementing Stateless File Sharing for Dino.
This is my first XMPP project and as such, I had to learn very basic things about it.
In my blog posts I’ll try to document the things I learned, with the idea that it might help someone else in the future.
I won’t refrain from explaining terms you might take for gran … ⌘ Read more

Autumnal Equinox
Today marks the beginning of one of my two favorite seasons, Autumn—or Fall, as it is commonly called in the United States. Living in Florida makes the season a very, very mild one, with temperatures still quite high (it will be 90°F today), yet it brings the solid certainty that summer is being left behind.

You can’t stop them from growing up, you can’t be with them all the time. But it is so hard not to…

Circa 1984
I guess a fitting way to “welcome” myself to the collantes.us posting forum is to also give a brief rehashing of my digital lifestyle.
Rumor has it that nineteen years ago, in the summer of 1984, two brand new bundles of joy rolled into the Canzolino household. The first was a shiny new Macintosh; the second, coming six weeks or so later, was a baby girl. I’ve been raised on computers ever since, tinkering away at little games and clicking that little one button ever since.
