Bike Battery is Toasting

Submitted by Bill St. Clair on Fri, 06 Feb 2026 10:46:03 GMT  <== Glory ==> 

I've wondered how I managed to ride with the same pair of batteries for four years. Well, I didn't. My battery usually lasts until the indicator is on 1/4. Now it dies at just under 1/2. Maybe this battery DID break the charger. It always blinks red when you plug it in now, instead of showing steady green. New charger on the way. I think I won't plug it into the more-used battery.

Fortunately, I have a back-up bike that I can use when the primary is down.

Hey Bike

I've decided to use this as my primary text editor for posts (those that don't need Emacs editing capablities). I'll post them here on the blog, first, then copy to or link from elsewhere.

Hoopla! Oink! Oink!

It's cold and the roads were snowy

Had a couple of days with no high above freezing, and lots of snow on the bike paths. People don't realize that cold snow is only as slippery as any similar crystal powder. Except when it melts or gets wet. The water will refreeze, and be VERY slippery. But there were lots of dry spots today, so I expect the sun to do its work on them tomorrow, too, even from behind clouds.

People make big holes in a frozen snowy surface. Hundreds of them make for a very bumpy bike path.

I already missed yesterday. Sigh... Blogging every day will be hard. But it will get easier once I write Elmlog.

Maybe I'll follow Dave Winer's lead and blog every day, with short posts, and occasional long stories.

Or maybe not. Time will tell.

Still Blogging

Submitted by Bill St. Clair on Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:58:02 GMT  <== Glory ==> 

I can still write Blog posts with Lisplog. The server has been humming along, unused, for a long time now.

I plan to rewrite Lisplog in Elm, enabling markdown for data entry, as well as HTML.

Elmlog is the natural name. I'll investigate domains.
