Another small tumblelog update

Today I pushed another small tumblelog update with the following changes:

  • Remove Sass related file (not needed)
  • Python version: don't append empty string if a literal equals None
  • Python version: check if an article heading contains any text

As always, the latest version is available at GitHub.

Flight Risk (2025)

A pilot transports an Air Marshal accompanying a fugitive to trial. As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem.

In the evening Alice, Esme, and I watched Flight Risk. I liked the movie and give it a 7 out of 10.

A small tumblelog update

Today I pushed a small tumbelog update with the following changes:

  • Make Dockerfiles more robust
  • In Python version: sort inplace (2x) in collect_days_and_pages
  • Use slices instead of a todo counter
  • In Python version: Use or instead of and in conditional

As always, the latest version is available at GitHub.

Suldrun's Garden

Take a doomed princess, a dispossessed prince and a wicked king, a vengeful magician and a melancholy witch; now add faeries, ogres, changelings, scheming barons, wanderers who are not what they seem, robbers, orphans, and a race of hardbitten warriors at war with all humanity. Stir in politics, intrigue, plots and assassinations, battles and sieges, then set it all to simmer in a mythical archipelago across the western sea before the time of Arthur.

Jack Vance draws together the threads of fairy tale and pagan myth to weave an epic tapestry of adventure and intrigue in the Elder Isles. The result is a masterpiece.

In the afternoon I started in Suldrun's Garden by Jack Vance, book 1 in the Lyonesse trilogy. My copy of the ebook came with a great cover image by Luc Desmarchelier.
