Associated preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.04.657890v1
The “built with Mojo” is there because this tool exists specifically to test run Mojo as a language for bioinformatics tool development.

10 Obscure Facts About America’s Empire in the Philippines
When the United States acquired the Philippines from Spain in 1898, she first had to forcibly assert her rule and put down the Filipino struggle for independence.

Windows 7: a 2025 perspective (rose-tinted or not)
Quite often, I wonder how much nostalgia plays part in our perception of past events. Luckily, with software, you can go “back” and retest it, and so there’s no need for any illusions and misconceptions. To wit, I decided to reinstall and try Windows 7 again (as a virtual machine, but still), to see whether my impressions of the dross we call “modern” software today are justified. ↫ Igor Ljubuncic The conclusion is that, yes, you can … ⌘ Read more

** More stink **
I read A Court of Throne and Roses this weekend. Not my usual fare but what the heck it was there so I read it. I found it to be an unremarkable, relatively conservative romantasy.
What stood out to me, though, is that everyone is so stinky. The main character is always describing how folks smell, smelling them before they round a corner and stuff. Even if they don’t like smell bad, this setting seems overwhelming perfumed. ⌘ Read more

** Stinky **
This morning I set up our new composter. This entailed shoveling a lot of compost from the old one into the new so that it can actually finish cooking. Shoveling 4 years worth of mostly kitchen scrap compost is a very very stinky endeavor. Despite wearing gloves I don’t know if my hands will ever not smell again. ⌘ Read more

Just as a little courtesy call (is that the right term?): 2025 continues to be annoying and exhausting, and I won’t really have the energy to work on twtxt/Yarn or texudus. Other than the occasional retrocomputing thingy (which gives a nice boost of nostalgia), I’m not doing much of anything lately.
