2026/08/13 Thursday I did this small "gambiarra" on the playback logic of my player the other day... but there's so much I have to clean in the code, even though I modularized everything, a lot I only edited when I had a problem in that section, there is a huge use of || and && logic everywhere, and lots of things are way more complicated than they have to be simply because of... no…
More images (2026/08/12) Added 118 new images to my random gallery. 15 news ones to the Image Dump - I stole 3 from todayimsadlikethesky . On a previous batch I had stolen Several from Divinicide 's massive moodboard and I'm not ashamed :P (I'm putting attribution if I found them on someone's else site now). Ah, also 7 new images in the Comic Dump .
2026/08/12 : Today Dona Lupa is receiving her biweekly (every 14 days) IV fluid therapy. She was eating well when we started giving her Sheeba but she slowed down and she's too skinny now, the vet recommended giving her a medication called mirtazapine, I was reading the online prescribing information and... it can cause suicidal thoughts?? On cats!? How the fuck do they know that lol (turns out…
2026/08/10 Monday These last few days I've been coming up with so many small solutions for small problems that are huge for me, what a streak, I'm pretty proud that things are working and I think I'm still progressing as a site-maker, things are getting so much more organized, scalable, easier to maintain, just by improving method... like, I just started using camelCase but I'm a bit unsure about…
2026/08/09 Sunday Looking at old zines I have here for inspiration, found the master of one I made for one of the bands I played in... I have very little left of the stuff I made, and I have no idea how I used to write so much, nowadays I find everything I do so... clichê... cringe... blerg... These are front and back, I'd take black & white photocopies then fold in the middle Some other surviving…
v1.playback-should-work-better-on-mobile-now is out! (2026/08/08) It is a small (not quite) update to fix the problem of mobile browser background throttling, which, even with the next song already loaded, would stop playing at media end if the tab wasn't focused. I created a silent dummy audio file that the browser believes is the real audio while the real playlist is in the background. More info…

Pega Um! mini music player widget (2026/08/07) As I'm working on the site for the local fanzine project Pega Um! , I want to welcome with music the people who pick up the zine and find it interesting enough to visit the site. The playlist is made up of songs by local artists they won't hear on the radio, and is an homage to old alternative events called Junta Tribo (Tribal Gathering) that would…

2026/08/04 22:10 People who want to be measured by their possessions aren't even people, they are just ad space.
2026/08/04 : On some unreported day Lupin lost his final white bigode (whisker), but a new one is growing, so he's a unigode once again.
2026/07/29 : Today Dona Lupa is receiving her biweekly (every 14 days) IV fluid therapy.
2026/07/28 Tuesday Fuck, I have shit tons of media to log since my last entry... I have to plan it better... I watched a lot of crap, I also watched awful crap I love, and some genuinely good stuff too, so this was a good run. I finished watching The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022) , it's a sequel to the '70s David Bowie movie , which is quite interesting but very uneven, I mean, it gets pretty…
2026/07/26 15:02 Sometimes I wonder if search engines haven't become ironic Baudrillardians. They are doing it on purpose for the lols, you just don't appreciate it because you're not getting the reference.
One file to update your layout on every page (2026/07/22) I made a small guide for using a .js file to apply the same elements to all your pages, so you can easily update your header, footer, and menus in a single file instead of having to do it on every page. It's very easy to do it, check it here .
2026/07/22 Wednesday Today I made stuffed eggplant, and it turned out pretty good :) On this cooking entry there won't be music, I'm still deciding if I will continue the playlist or start others... and I think I'm going to make a cooking index for recipes and entries where I made them... Anyway, I had two big-ass eggplants, one also big but a bit smaller, four tomatoes, and I grated some…
2026/07/21 Tuesday Been getting in touch with people, cooking up some ideas, today a friend came over to bring me back the books I had lent him, Dance of Days: Two Decades of Punk in the Nation's Capital and Touch and Go: The Complete Hardcore Punk Zine '79-'83 , he also brought me one, Hans Staden: An Adventurer in the New World , originally published in the Italian magazine Corto Maltese in…
2026/07/20 20:15 If commercial success mattered, one would think Fast & Furious 10 is better than the whole filmography of Kubrick, Bergman, Kurosawa, Fellini, and Tarkovsky combined, so fuck Stan Lee, the British Invasion was the best thing to happen to superhero comics.
2026/07/20 19:54 You can't measure something's quality by its commercial success, people know shit about fuck, the only thing you can measure is its mediocrity, because that's what "people" represent.
2026/07/20 Sunday Tonight I made spinach and ricotta panqueca. I posted panqueca before, it should not be confused with American pancakes, these are thin rolled crêpes. Sala Espacial playing Imediato Contato (2016) I had already beaten the eggs when I decided to take a picture... for this recipe I used 4 eggs, 500ml of milk, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, 50g of melted butter, 300g of flour - and of…
2026/07/20 : Rabies shots for everyone today! My vet friend came here to help me out, but I couldn't for the life of me find Chica 's hiding spot, and we trapped Minnie inside the cat's room and she just exploded the cat door, blasting through it lol. I gave their shots myself later when they calmed down. We are months late for it, we gave their multivalent shot in April, but because of the amount…
2026/07/19 : It's Dog Food Day!
2026/07/17 22:57 Why do those humans on Avatar get so impressed by that tree? I'm sure they could connect to the Metaverse and talk to AI slop of dead people just fine at home too.
PiraDeadLinkHunter v0.9 (2026/07/17) Another Node.js I created for my own use that I'm making public and easily configurable for whoever also wants to use it. The PiraDeadLinkHunter will look for dead links, redirects and errors on your link pages.
2026/07/17 Friday Been having a lot of fun making sites and stuff you know, there's some satisfaction in typing stuff and seeing it being turned into other stuff and stuff doing stuff and stuff stuff stuff... but I feel like I'm procrastinating on remaking my pet pages, making the pages for pets I still haven't made, and also making a mobile version for every page around here... but I've been…
2026/07/17 02:25 I have so much stuff I want to do. Let me start by doing a completely unrelated new thing.
2026/07/16 15:26 Dead links just makes me sad...
PiraOGScreenshooter v0.9 (2026/07/15) A simple Node.js script to run locally that takes screenshots of as many pages as you want, in whatever dimensions you want. I made it to update Open Graph screenshots, but you can use it to screenshot whatever you want. Check it here . The page also explains what is Open Graph and how to use it (basically, your page snippets on social media and other places…
2026/07/15 Wednesday Had a bunch of leftovers: A bit of broccoli, a bit of peas, two tomatoes, some cheese, and brown rice with carrots... so it was time to mix everything! So to start I minced some garlic, onion, and leek, chopped the raw broccoli and tomatoes, and grated the bits of mozzarella, queijo minas (talked about it in a previous cooking entry), and spicy smoked ricotta I had. Geraldo…
2026/07/15 : Today Dona Lupa is receiving her biweekly (every 14 days) IV fluid therapy.
PiraFeedGenerator v0.9.something (2026/07/14) Added three merely cosmetic options: Icon, Logo (most readers display them next to your site) and also CSS (only for people checking the .xml file directly, probably no one ever, but you can make it look pretty anyway). Check it here .
Get indexed EVERYWHERE! Part III: RSS/Atom feeders (2026/07/13) Now a list where you can get your RSS/Atom feed indexed. Get indexed EVERYWHERE! . Again, I added buttons for all the directories listed there to my links page .
Get indexed EVERYWHERE! Part II: Small web directories (2026/07/05) Some more setup if you want to go deeper into the IndieWeb, and a bunch of active directories you can join - plus lists of webrings and clubs. Get indexed EVERYWHERE! . Oh, I also added buttons for all the directories listed there to my links page (and today I applied to the BUKMARK.CLUB . I already put their button there, I hope…
Now and Wander (2026/07/04) New pages added, Now and Wander , they are both part of cool web projects I just joined, and which I'm going to talk more about in the last part of my article (gonna take awhile, the second part isn't even out yet).
2026/07/03 Friday And it's for lunch AND dinner! I saw this meme/edit years ago, glad it was easy to find again, but I will be back to it later. So a few months back I did my "Surf the Web" button, to open a random site from my button wall (some of my favorite sites), but there are other cool stuff that I think it would be cool for people to find at random, but that I don't feel like creating…
2026/07/03 : It's Dog Food Day!
2026/07/02 Thursday Doing another media log already... today I called this guy I know to check some stuff for me, his phone rang and it was the Mortal Kombat theme, "Are you kidding me? I just watched the movie this morning!" "Did you like it?" "It's awesome!" "It's awesome!" *epic handshake* "Now call me! Call my phone!" *he calls my phone* *Street Fighter II theme song starts playing* "Are you…
2026/07/01 : Today Dona Lupa is receiving her biweekly (every 14 days) IV fluid therapy. Fonfon is fine and out of his quarantine. Surely the other cats were exposed to the viral rhinotracheitis from sharing the food bowl and water fountain in the days before clinical symptoms and in the about 12h between me noticing him sneezing before going to sleep, then waking up and running errands, then…
2026/06/29 Monday Month's about to end so gonna do a media log... With my father we finished watching the second season of Twisted Metal (2023-) and perhaps I'm in a good mood that's why I didn't find it so bad? I mean, it's objectively bad, but it had some very funny parts. Anyway, very silly post-apocalyptic car combat comedy show. I have only played the first game more than 20 years ago, I'd…
2026/06/28 : We have been giving Dona Lupa a low phosphorous wet food, it's made of apple, chia and algae, everything cats love (somehow, they do like it :S) but she hasn't been eating lately and she is so skinny. The problem with Dali † was that we gave him Churu first (the most expensive brand) and he got hooked and wouldn't eat anything else, for Lupa we started giving her Sheba, which besides…
Get indexed EVERYWHERE! Part I: Search Engines (2026/06/27) Do you write and produce cool stuff and would like to be found by others but don't want to use social media, heavily censored major platforms, and crap like that? I started a series of articles to help you out, and the first step is getting your presence known by search engines. Get indexed EVERYWHERE! .
2026/06/26 Friday My power move is leaving the TV volume at numbers like 9, 11, 13, 17, when I'm with others just to let them know I'm not someone they can mess with, "Yeah, bitch, that's how much I don't give a fuck", you can't scare a man who watches TV on odd numbers that aren't multiples of 5, this is a man who's ready to go... but it's all a pose, you know, when I'm alone I only pick…
2026/06/26 : Twice I caught Zaza inside - and she left the moment she saw me. She learned how to use the kitchen window to enter, now the only black cat that doesn't get a free pass to come inside is Lud . The orange cats are claiming racism.
2026/06/25 Thursday Today I'm doing what I do when I'm lazy: frozen pizza. However, frozen pizza sucks, so I bling it up a bit. Exceptionally today I'm putting 12 songs instead of 6 because I took a lot of pictures - and it ended up being a very samba soundtrack. Oh, also, if I have ghost readers, I guess they are going to reveal themselves after the shock of what I put on my pizza. Adoniran…
2026/06/25 : Fonfon 's PCR with the blood sample he took Saturday showed nothing, so probably it was some intoxication. However, last night he started sneezing, today he had a runny nose and secretion in his eyes. I already isolated him in one of the rooms downstairs, cleaned all food bowls and water fountains, and started the treatment for rhinotracheitis. I hope it didn't spread already to other…
PiraFeedGenerator v0.9 released! (2026/06/24) I'm trying to create a simple script you can just fill a few fields and generate an Atom feed for your site, check it here .
2026/06/24 Wednesday So I'm working on making a feed generator that should be easy enough for anyone to use and create an Atom feed for their site... and creating one for my site was easy enough, but to create one for anyone? Ouch! Why an Atom feed? Ah, I wrote more about it here . Before releasing this beta I wanted to test creating feeds for a few sites, and it was good because it made me see a…
2026/06/22 Monday Not much new to say, I wrote a lot already last time, just decided to post more food and music. Do you usually cook at home? Do you use fresh ingredients or is it all industrialized stuff? Elton Medeiros playing Pressentimento (1973) I have ran out of the kale and the corn I had made Saturday, so I prepared more stuff today. I actually had more kale so I did it again, and the…

2026/06/21 Sunday Gonna write a bit about my day, and a few days before, and I'm already putting tomorrow's date because I know I'm not finishing before midnight. Gonna give you some tips about how to quickly check your pet's health if you think they are a bit weird - five things I always do, one I will start doing, and one that requires equipment but is very important so it's good to have it:…
