Looks like OpenAI "Codex cloud" was quietly rebranded to "Codex web" at some point in the last ~48 hours

I use them via native apps so I wanted Anthropic to rebrand "Claude Code on the web" to "Claude Code Cloud", didn't expect OpenAI to go the other way! simonwillison.net/2025/Dec/31/

So far, I spend most of my vacation checking off items from my long list of things I wanted to build. Most of it are „internal“ CLI tools I use at home or small experiments with activity pub.

Most of it is done using instead my usual choice . I like the experience a lot.

One thing I needed was a small tool to scaffold projects based on template repositories. I started using `gonew` and ended up writing my own little tool `gohatch`.

HAPPY PUBLIC DOMAIN DAY! And Happy New Year!

Books published in 1930 will enter the U.S. public domain, such as:

The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett: This novel introduced the world to the famous detective Sam Spade.
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner: A masterpiece of American literature.
The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie: This was the first novel to feature the beloved character Miss Marple.

An English logo of the 2025/26 Public Domain Day in Poland.

The centerpiece consists of four large numerals arranged horizontally, displaying "2025" with a unique transition effect. Each digit is rendered in white against solid black rectangular backgrounds:

The "2" appears in a standard, complete form
The "0" is also shown in complete form
The second "2" is again complete
The final digits show a split-flap or mechanical counter-style animation, with "6" visible on top and "5" on the bottom, divided by a horizontal line through the middle of the rectangle.

Sigh. The project that I had slated for holiday break is a bust.

I have:
- two MacBooks that don't play well with KVM switches
- an LG monitor with both DisplayPort and USB-C DP-Alt ports, along with an RS232 port.

I picked up a USB switch and assorted electronic stuff to build my own little KVM that would flip the USB switch with a GPIO and the monitor with a serial signal.

Problem is, the serial port on the monitor is apparently disabled, and the USB switch doesn't play well with my work MacBook. :(

I guess I'll keep flopping the thunderbolt cable back and forth like a caveman for the foreseeable future.
