I've been creating small, hand-written websites to organise my files. It's a lightweight, flexible approach that I hope will last a long time.

There's a screenshot there, take a look. What's surprising is that the author employs no static site generator. Huh?? I'd rather use one or come up with a cool CGI setup. I wonder if they still make these websites...

Cladosporium sphaerospermum is a remarkable species of radiotrophic fungus that is thriving in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and which scientists are studying to unlock applications in a wide range of fields.

Similarly to how organisms are dragged by natural selection, it is going to be propelled in unknown direction without asking us whether we like it or not.

The software industry is reaching the stage where it cannot be revolutionized heavily, it is to evolve like the living ones. It is not necessarily good.
