A key, if underappreciated, skill in life is learning when it’s time to let go, be it from life itself or some of your various endeavours while living it. And so, I think that it’s only fitting to do this with The Blog About Fog, especially with this my 100th blog entry. In helping meContinue reading “Goodbye …”

Un-vital signs 05.02.2025
After many, many attempts to get the Jetpack AI to deliver me a good picture of a dog in Ikea for my latest blog post (and after having long given up getting it to have that dog peeing on some of the furniture), it finally gave me one that I really liked and that youContinue reading “Un-vital signs 05.02.2025”

Airline reservation systems (if not many computer systems generally), you see, have a problem with hyphenated last names and, as I recently read, problemsContinue reading “ISO don’t understand”
Degenerative admin
Working right up until the last second, the admin elves at the University of Not-Bielefeld published a set of 11 recommendations shortly before the Christmas break to advise its teaching staff in how to deal with generative AI in the classroom. And then took a well deserved seven-week break before facing the even more arduousContinue reading “Degenerative admin”
