Eight years, and done
A departure post from Bryce where he talk about his exit from blogging and his motivations for doing so.
Got home around midnight. I have concussion and a couple stitches in my head, but nothing serious. Few other cuts and bruises too.
By far the worst part is my back though - it's in spasm and REALLY painful.
Soooo I managed to drive our mower off a 5 foot wall and land on my head. Just waiting for a CT now.
Gonna be a long night...
The New Enemy (Liam Scott #3)
The third book in McNab's Liam Scott series. Finished reading this one to my son - glad to have finished this series in all honesty.
A Good Use of AI
This email from my oldest son's school is a great demonstration of using AI for good.
Do you use :visited on links?
I always made the :visited attribute for hyperlinks look the same as links that haven't been visited, but now I'm questioning that behaviour.
Watched Forrest Gump for the first time in 20 odd years this evening. Watching it again with an adult brain...Jenny is a real bitch!
Amelia the Chicken
We lost our favourite chicken, Amelia, last night. She was the best.
A day is short, a life is long
Kevin talks about some of the stuff he's figured out in his life now that he's turned 35 and it's eerily similar to some of the stuff I've figured out.
Finally! #ClicksCommunicator
Absolutely gorgeous sky this morning.
It's Never Too Late to Learn
My wife showed me an email I'd sent her when we first met and my lack of basic English was shocking.
Nelly the pup absolutely loving life in the field! 🤣
Because a basic sitemap would be boring!
The constant outrage on #Mastodon (and maybe other social sites?) for [bad thing of the day] is so tiring.
Do you know what the hardest thing to do on earth is?
Quantum physics? No.
Solving world hunger? Nope.
Getting Trump impeached? Nah.
It's climbing the stairs on leg day! 🦵🏼
New Design for Sept 2026
I decided I was bored of the old site, so I created a new theme.
Why do so many calendar apps offer Sunday as the first day of the week? It's not the first day of the week, it's the last.
Why is that even an option FFS?
I've recently switched to Gnome's default apps for email etc. So instead of #Thunderbird doing all the things, I have Geary, Calendar, and Contacts. Most of the time I only need email, so it's nice having a much simplified UX.
I also like how integrated into Gnome they all are.
Android Auto Has Been Hammering My Phone’s Battery
I've noticed that Android Auto has been hammering my phone battery recently. I think I've fixed it now though.
