Goodbye Fosstodon
Last night I demoted my Fosstodon admin account, then flipped the switch and migrated to Micro.blog. Here's some thoughts on why I did that.

Blog
This is a list of all the content on this site - I like to think of it as my digital stream of conscousness. Blog posts, notes, books I’ve read, and links I’ve enjoyed are all mixed together, but you can filter them if you prefer. Enjoy. 🙃

Spent the last couple days re-jigging my watch collection and watch wearing log so they use an SQLite DB instead of a text file. Been a fun little project.
I also added the last time I wore each watch in my collection.

You’re pretty much entirely funded by Google. Go home, Mozilla. You’re drunk.
I've been really struggling lately. I have very little motivation, and very few things are making me happy. I feel over-worked and under-appreciated, which is having a much bigger impact on me than I thought it would. I need to make some changes and pull myself out of this rut.

The single most frustrating thing about flipping from #iOS to #Android is that on iOS I can swipe from the either edge of the screen to go forward or back. On Android, for some stupid reason, swiping either way always goes back.
I'm really enjoying #Ubuntu, but the single most annoying thing is that a number of apps are blurry to the point of being unusable, thanks to fractional scaling. I believe it's a Wayland issue. 😟
Anyone know of a fix?
Another beautiful day in north Wales. Today's plan is to get on the 60 year old rotavator that I recently repaired, and chop up some grass ready for planting wild flowers in one of the fields. 🌷🌹🌻🪻
I love this time of year.
