I largely write for myself, but it feels strange to just see the void stare back at me. ## [Crypto Payments, No Custody (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/XfoaZJnC2tEA) _2025-07-28 · **Sponsored**_ Send crypto to merchant wallets via API with real-time updates and automatic fees. ## [Comments!](https://natkr.com/2025-07-29-comments/) _2025-07-29 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ I always liked the concept of blog comments.

We've tackled sleeping (and waking ). Going back to the definition , that leaves us with one core concept left to conquer: pinning ! ## [Async from scratch 2: Wake me maybe](https://natkr.com/2025-04-15-async-from-scratch-2/) _2025-04-15 · nat@nullable.se (Natalie Klestrup Röijezon) · natkr's ramblings_ So. You've read my last post . You got inspired. Excited, even. Deployed SimpleFuture to production. Spun up a few worker threads to share the load. Called it a friday. This is Rust after all, what could go wrong? ...aaand then someone took a look at the CPU usage. ## [Async from scratch 1: What's in a Future, anyway?](https://natkr.com/2025-04-10-async-from-scratch-1/) _2025-04-10 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ There are a lot of guides about how to use async Rust from a "user's perspective", but I think it's also worth understanding how it works, what those async blocks actually mean. Why you get all those weird pinning errors. ## [Wanderstopping](https://natkr.com/2025-03-15-wanderstopping/) _2025-03-15 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ Well, I just picked up this game called Wanderstop . Or, well, picked it up a few days ago, but I just finally got around to finishing the prologue, stopped crying, and felt like I had to go write. Beware of spoilers for the tutorial below the fold. Wait, can tutorials have spoilers? Does that even make sense? Is calling it out as a spoiler a spoiler in itself? What about when the same things are… ## [Off-topic](https://natkr.com/2025-03-09-off-topic/) _2025-03-09 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ No, you can't talk about that here, that's off topic. This is a site about programming. ## [One year later](https://natkr.com/2025-02-10-one-year-later/) _2025-02-10 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ I wrote this Android keyboard named FlickBoard . A few people even seem to like it, strange as that feels to say. Since the project is now a smidge over a year old I figured it'd be worth writing about how we got here, and where I'd like to go from here. ## [Trust](https://natkr.com/2025-01-08-trust/) _2025-01-08 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ A few days ago, I was talking to an old friend of mine about that weird project I've been working on for the last few months . ## [Real SIMs for AI Agents (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/FY0eEWALmTxc) _2025-01-07 · **Sponsored**_ Pass 2FA and verifications with real carrier numbers via our API. ## [The dumbest (Emacs) indenter](https://natkr.com/2024-11-14-emacs-dumb-indenter/) _2024-11-14 · Natalie Klestrup Röijezon · natkr's ramblings_ I've been using Nushell for a while, but mostly as an interactive shell.

The idea of them. Thousands of pieces, each doing a simple - almost trivial - task, but coming together to form a beautiful tapestry. Maybe you've seen Wintergatan's Marble Machine , or one of the many Lego Great Ball Contraption builds out there. It's almost mesmerizing to watch. Maybe it's what fueled my multiple addictions to OpenTTD and Sweet Transit 1 .…
