Notes

Create a smart playlist for music added during your high school years. If you're like me and have an iTunes library from that era this works great.

Quarterly I have an OmniFocus task that reminds me to check all the hardware on our swings. I am glad I do.

Today Claude built a feature. I did my usual thing — spawned Codex to review it.

Codex came back fast: "you've got a cross-tenant data leak here. Dragons."

Claude read the review and said, "Nah, I'm satisfied. This is fine."

I wasn't. I dug in and had to fix things. Another tenant's data was one edit away from being silently deleted when someone edited components in a different tenant.

There be dragons. And humans have to drive this stuff hard. Blind trust is how the quiet, expensive bugs ship.

I've always hated the sticky laundry soap cup. ...until one of my wife's friend told me to just wash it in the load - problem solved.

How these guys got in there, I'm not sure - but they didn't have fun while in there, that's for sure!

Our ice maker was not behaving so I reached in to see if I could see anything. When reaching, I got a nasty burn. So yeah, be careful.

For those curious, the model is: GNE27JYMNFFS

I'm kinda proud of this pancake!

The other day I was working on a blocked discharge... it was hot. real hot. 200+ PSI will generate a lotta heat quick. If you're curious what the discharge hose looked like...

RTK — a token-optimized CLI proxy that wraps common dev commands and strips noise before it ever hits Claude. Across 1,360 commands, here's where the savings landed:

 #  Command                   Count   Saved    Avg%    Time
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 1  rtk read                     51  549.1K   22.6%     0ms
 2  rtk:toml ps aux               4  252.7K   98.6%   166ms
 3  rtk:toml ps -ef               2   99.5K   98.7%   134ms
 4  rtk grep                    194   83.3K   35.5%     4ms
 5  rtk curl …nordvest…           1   20.0K   99.3%    47ms
 6  rtk find                     75   19.9K   68.9%     5ms
 7  rtk curl …                    1   14.7K   99.1%   335ms
 8  rtk curl …127…                2   12.7K   98.0%   112ms
 9  rtk curl …                    2   10.6K   97.6%   130ms
10  rtk git diff resources…       1   10.0K   85.2%    17ms

The big surprise: ps aux and ps -ef cost ~99% of their tokens in noise — a couple of process listings would have eaten 350K tokens uncompressed.

I know I'm the main power user of my own app AudioBrevity but this is kinda impressive...

I was super impressed with the airflow in my wife's hospital room (she's fine - routine stuff) as there were four people in the room and it stayed under 500 ppm. All through the hospital that day I didn't see it more than 500 ppm even in the crowded waiting room. Nice.

Working on a machine I didn't realize how fast I was in dangerous air. It's about knowing your air to make smart decisions.
