While working on Webmention support for my homepage, I started to wonder how content licensing is handled. I’ve never seen it mentioned in the docs.

I just assume everyone is ok, with displaying their writing on my page, or is this too simplistic a process?

Making a massive multiplayer game will probably be the biggest thing that you work on in your entire life. It will take a decade or more to develop it and if it was a success, it will take another decade to maintain it. If you are somewhere in your twenties right now, you will be in your forties, maybe even 50 years old when the last server of your game shuts down.

Review of A Wrinkle in Time

I just finished reading A Wrinkle in Time (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet Book 1) by Madeleine L’Engle📚 this was another Amazon recommendation which I liked quite a lot. The book is rather short but luckily there another three books :-). The book was reminding me of the book Momo by the German author Michael Ende. It has a lovely main cast with problems I can relate quite a lot. And a valid message that you don’t need to fit in to be accepted.

Most people believe that open source sustainability is a difficult problem to solve. As an open source developer myself, my own perspective to this problem was more optimistic: I believe in the donation model, for its simplicity and possibility to scale.

SOFTWARE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE.

I hate weekends where you have zero energy to work on your projects or do anything useful at all :-( Spent the morning at the swimming pool with my daugther – at least I had the power for this – but now nothing works anymore. I’m just feeling a bit duped out of my weekend.

Review of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One

I did not realize that there is a prequel to His dark materials but after I found out I needed to read La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One by Philip Pullman📚at once. The author set this book at a time when Lyra is still a small baby and describes the events shortly after her birth when Malcolm and Alice need to protect here and travel with her to a safe place or perhaps more aptly said find a safe haven for her.

Review of Homeland

After reading Walkaway, I realized that there is a sequel to Little brother. So I naturally read Homeland by Cory Doctorow📚 as my next book. The book was a rollercoaster for my emotions, but I still liked it. The story starts slow but is accelerating throughout the novel, and I could not let go of it until I nearly had it finished. Compared with Walkaway it is a lot more on the practical side and less philosophical, which makes it easier to read.
