Butterrobot 0.4.0

May 5, 2025

That was fast! From the moment I refactored the code to Golang and started using it some new features arrived that I have been making use.

The last release adds two plugins:

  • Domain blocker: Allows adding the plugin to a channel and set up a list of domains to block. If a message contains a link to one of those domains, the message is deleted and the user warned.

Dharma 0.1.0

May 5, 2025

I’ve created yet another small pet project. Dharma is a small CLI utility to check for broken links in web pages. I needed something like this because when I migrated to Hugo some leftovers where around (images, pages, old post, etc.). I wanted a way to check that easily from the CLI and also to add it as a CI step when a new version of the site is deployed.

This is an example output run over my blog:

I played Celeste (PICO-8)

May 4, 2025

I bought an Anbernic device mainly to play PICO-8 games on it, but after playing two games the screen broke and I had to return it so I still have a nice backlog of PICO-8 games to go through when I sit down and set up my Retroid Pocket.

The cartdridge for the game... or to better put it, this image is the actual game!

I read Feel-Good Productivity

April 27, 2025

I’ve tried to read productivity books for a while, started with note-taking, time management, and goal-setting… but never managed to finish any of them. This is the first book that not only I finished, but also I found it enjoyable, insightful, and provides practical tips for improving productivity. And not only that, is the first one that I have used a marker on to highlight important passages.

Butterrobot 0.2.4 released

April 22, 2025

I’ve decided to revive Butterrobot after a long hiatus.

The project was originally written in Python and it was designed to be a simple way to have quality of life in Slack and Telegram channels. After I made the initial implementation I started going deeper into Golang and mostly abandoned it with a promise to come back and rewrite it in the future.

That day is here.

I played Storyteller

Storyteller Logo

The first time I played Storyteller two years ago I really liked it, I thought it was a very original game and the ability to create scenes beyond just solving puzzles was quite interesting. Player 2 and I got competitive to see who would finish it first. There comes a point wherek, if you get stuck, instead of thinking about the story being presented you start thinking about all the permutations you can do with the available options; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing since -after all- it is a puzzle game.

It felt fresh and they gave you achievements when you managed to recreate certain scenes beyond just completing the main story solutions.

Install Android applications without the Play Store

April 14, 2025

Lately I brought back to life an old Android device of mine that I wanted to use to try out some unrelated stuff. When it came to open the store and install applications it happened: it asked for an account to install applications. Turns out putting my password on this device was going to take a while so I wondered which option do we had if we wanted a capable Android device without requiring the Play Store. I know there are forks of Android around that removed all Google services so there has to be something.

One Plus 6
