My newly minted sovereign server (sovereign in the sense that it answers to nobody, including me) had a horrible start in life. The PSU was faulty. In the picture, you can see my old 850W ATX PSU powering my new server (PSU on Marktplaats/Craigslist now). @Alternate is still trying to find out if it was… Read More »
Three weeks after my first round of catch-up, two things have given out: my power supply and my patience with the word “agentic”. First the easy part. I swapped the two Qwen 3.6 27b instances for Qwen3.8 27B, running the Unsloth Dynamic V3.0 GGUFs (UD-Q4_K_XL) with q8_0 KV cache quantisation on both Ollama instances, at… Read More »
TL;DR Book a Meeting | Blue Sky Consulting It was time to re-jump on the Vibe coding bandwagon again. I fell off somewhere two years ago, when I was between jobs.

The claim was based on a survey posted on X and some LinkedIn groups. While the survey is well-documented and certainly worth a read, there was no… Read More »
Sorry, I was forced to post the above picture by Alvin. He wondered why I stopped posting and I think it is only fair to share with you my reason for my absence. Alvin suggested that I stopped posting because of a promotion and I have to admit: It sure feels like a promotion. I… Read More »

In this post Nuno L rants about the burden of fixing broken Tridion implementations. We seem to be in the same business and I would like to share my perspective on this subject.

Recently I had the possibility of fixing one of my customers blueprinting structures which was of questionable quality. The change involved phasing out twelve large publications filled with all types of content imaginable. Of course I used the tips&tricks from a previous post on this topic which handled the ‘unpublishing‘ of content. However I quickly… Read More »
I have to admit I am an XSLT junky. It seems to be useful for almost anything. From transforming Enterprise Architect models to full blown reports or simply adding sequential numbering to data dictionaries. My XSLT skills have proven to be a huge time saver on many occasions. The only flaw in XSLT is its… Read More »
