   Garden Pattern Works

   Turns a photograph into a cutting pattern for mosaic and stained glass, with a companion app for designing paved surfaces.

   Three tabs tested in the browser and fixed, and a paving colored from a photograph now answers in a tenth of a second instead of a third. A long-standing fault that dropped a saved fall and edge settings on reopening is down.

   Off The Grid

   A self-built, fully offline record of one house and its land, covering sun, heat, water, flood risk, garden, and history. Every figure comes from open data and is checked by tests.

   Private station · observations withheld

   A burst of rework. The model now runs on six decades of measured records in place of an assumed factor that proved wrong throughout, and one validation check waits on a measurement in the field.

   World Explorers

   A multilingual family web app where children explore a storybook world of their family's choosing through games, letters, keepsakes, and learning.

   Four more rounds of page work are built and tested, waiting to go live. The plan grew a learning section for school subjects, with the virtual pets up next.

   The Great Penguin Mystery

   A private app of stories, games, and messages. The details stay at home.

   Private station · observations withheld

   Redesign rounds swept the games, the makers, and the learning extras. Ninety new stickers now share one tool across eight maker pages, all in daily use, with a tablet check next.

   Pfau.ai

   A small creative laboratory. A peacock's tail links projects across stories, music, light, worldbuilding, and a post-capitalist framework.

   A polish release and a tidy-up of the docs and files. Stable and in use, with visitor feathers moderated as they land.

   German Anki Decks

   Two German study decks for Anki. One covers B1 to C1 vocabulary with grammar tables, and one tests reading nuance with themed multiple-choice passages.

   A new system with two cells. The vocabulary deck settled at 2,644 notes after a full audit, and a new reading deck built quickly to 63 cards.

   Reflectopia

   One penguin, too many feelings. Interactive storybooks, one-page comics, and songs about the questions she can never quite answer.

   The music forming offshore made landfall as five albums, each with its own jukebox page. A Star Map now charts the theme constellation, and book 10 waits for its art.

    Kane vs. Lagrange vs. Cartesian

    Three derivations of one gravity-gradient satellite, and which one deserves your afternoon.

    Recurring system, first observed years ago and now redeveloping over orbital waters. The Cartesian derivation is expected to be long.
