Sam Whited: Coffeeneuring 2025
This year I haven’t blogged much at all, but it’s time for the 15th annual
Coffeeneuring and who-knows-how-many-annual Biketober challenges so here we go!
This post will be updated with each of my Coffeeneuring rides as the month goes
on, and may (or may not) contain a few fun C+1 rides that count towards
Biketober, but not for Coffeeneuring.

It’s Sunday, and tomorrow I don’t have to work, as I have two weeks of vacation. The first time since May. My only breaks from work were when I hurt my hand and wasn’t able to type for a week, and two free days last week, but those also weren’t really relaxing for me. So I am very much looking forward to the next two weeks! I really feel the exhaustion from the last few months with work sometimes being stressful, the start of my fiancée’s teacher training, and some other topics. But this year again showed me that bi … ⌘ Read more
Sam Whited: 2025-09-30 Trolley Barn Contra Post Mortem
The first time I DJed for a Contra Dance1 was at Inman Park’s
famous Trolley Barn.
At the time I was DJing in the way other social dances are normally DJed: I had
a laptop, I played a song, everyone danced.
No fancy mixing, or effects: the most technical thing I did was loop 32 bar
sections of music to stretch it out until the caller was ready to end the dance.
This time around, returning to … ⌘ Read more

How to Add MCP Servers to Claude Code with Docker MCP Toolkit

LoRA Explained: Faster, More Efficient Fine-Tuning with Docker
Fine-tuning a language model doesn’t have to be daunting.

This time, we’re narrowing the focus. Instead of asking a model to be good at everything, we can specialize it:… ⌘ Read more
Better profile management coming to Firefox
