oday it is time to vote here. It’s also good that we have been getting some light rain overnight – the soil and the plants truly need it.

It turns out last night that yesterday alone I wrote over 50 original articles or short blog posts (across 3 sites). It exceeded my expectations.

T seems like August has already begun and Rianne’s birthday is a few weeks away. Today we expect some publicity and tomorrow we have an election here.

From what I can gather, the platform I’ve promoted for decades is winning the battle of attrition, which means more “mainstreaming”.

I plan to keep this blog increasingly active for the foreseeable future. It was mostly neglected for two decades because of Techrights.

was perhaps too hasty; I complained about my NIMA coffee (or generic) grinder earlier this summer, but today I found out that the overheating (even some smoke) issue can be overcome by 1) taking more breaks to let it cool down; 2) putting fewer coffee beans in the grinder at any given time, limiting the strain in general; 3) letting it rest without grinding for a very long time. There is always “next time”. This helps keep the ground coffee fresher.

As a bonus, (2) above solves an issue I had last month. Some beans remained whole or mostly whole. Now, they’re all cut finely and nicely.

can now say, as it is public information, that tomorrow morning a judgment will be issued.

am very happy to report that my nephew now has a name and is in good health. He was born at the exact same time I did cross-examination at the High Court.

3.5 years ago my wife officially became a British citizen and this year she speaks to high British ministers and also our deputy PM. We are thankful for the Legal Aid we have received.

Voting is 2 days away.

understand that tomorrow there will be a decision issued by the High Court pertaining to a 2025 case which involves me. I will get a chance to write about it some time tomorrow or later this week.

met Rianne in 2011 (somebody’s birthday party) and we began dating a year later. Later this year it’ll be exactly 15 years since we first met.

Rianne and I were colleagues for nearly a decade, nowadays we are busy fighting for the tech community in court. We oppose misogyny, harassment and violence against women, we defend Computer Science, and we promote computer security through Free software.

Rianne is my other half and I am hers. No amount of litigation can change that.
