On July 14, 2026, while delegating a large-scale English localization task for content within a development project, Codex started a local Ollama server. There is no evidence that inference or translation was actually performed by Ollama, but the process advanced as far as server startup, GPU detection, and retrieval of the list of locally available models. This post documents what happened and the design considerations worth keeping in mind when delegating long-running, large-scale tasks to a coding agent.

Keeping Claude Code Docs Out of the Public Repo with .git/info/exclude — A Design Log on Exclusion and History Management

When I introduced Claude Code into a personal OSS repository I develop and maintain on my own, a requirement emerged: I wanted to keep the AI-related settings and documentation out of the public repository and operate them locally only. In this post, I focus on the two topics I spent the most time considering — the use cases for exclusion settings, and the design of history management, which tends to become scattered in AI-assisted workflows.

Context and Assumptions

The target is a solo-developed (personal OSS) repository, with branch protection requiring PRs and CI already configured on main / develop. Claude Code is used from within the editor, and the main tasks are refactoring, writing articles, and improving features — repetitive work that mostly stays local.

Count-Up Darts Score Calculator Screen

Following the previously released browser-based darts score calculator apps for "01" and "Cricket", we have newly added a "Count-Up" score calculator tool.

While 01 and Cricket are highly strategic and fun games, Count-Up is the best choice for basic darts practice or when playing with beginners who have just learned the rules, as it simply competes for total points. As always, no app installation or account registration is required. You can start using it immediately just by opening your browser.

No Registration or Download Required. Released a Free Darts Calculator (01 & Cricket) Ready to Use in Your Browser.

I have a steel tip dartboard at home, and until now, I used to calculate scores in my head while throwing. However, when I played with friends, we needed a proper calculator. When I looked for one, I found that many required installing a smartphone app or creating an account—it was surprisingly hard to find something quick and easy to use.

So, I created a simple "Darts Calculator Web App" that requires no downloads or registration and is ready to use just by opening a browser. I've published it on my personal website. It fully supports score management for the classic 01 (Zero-One) and Cricket games.

ChatGPT and Claude are great tools, but do you ever hesitate before typing something work-related or personal into them? On the other hand, setting up a local GPU environment to run Ollama yourself is a steep barrier in terms of both effort and cost.

So I built a private LLM chat environment using Google Colab's free GPU — one that never sends conversation logs outside the instance — and packaged it into a single notebook. Run the cells from top to bottom, and it's ready to go.

Today I'm releasing Colab Mosaic Clip — an open-source tool that applies a mosaic or solid-color mask to any time range and region of a video, entirely through a GUI, and exports the result as MP4. It runs ffmpeg and Pillow on Google Colab, so everything from specifying the time range to placing mosaic regions and exporting the final file is handled inside the notebook UI.

Make Demo GIF / MP4, released earlier this month, now includes a zoom feature. When you want to draw attention to a specific interaction in a screen recording, simply dropping in a GIF or MP4 does not always communicate what matters. This update adds an optional zoom effect that smoothly magnifies any area of the video to highlight button clicks, form inputs, or other key UI moments.

The setup steps and usage of this tool are explained in detail in the technical documentation.
