Notes
Notes are my shorter posts; kinda like my own little microblog. They have their own RSS feed and are automatically syndicated to my social profiles.
I hope there's no wind tonight. 😳
We had a birthday party for my youngest today. Instead of the usual soft play, trampoline place, or other such boring stuff, we found a real-life Minecraft themed party in the woods. My oldest dressed up as the creeper to catch all the intrepid explorers.
Needless to say, the kids LOVED it.
I have a tonne of songs in my #Apple Music library, but it feels like it's only shuffling the same hundred or so tracks. #Spotify felt way better in this regard. Is it just me?
We're in the process of getting a new roof put on the house, so the entire thing is covered in scaffolding, which the kids love playing on despite our many warnings.
Yesterday, our oldest asked us if he can have some scaffolding for his birthday. 😂
Dammit. The first piece of spam has made it through the (rudimentary) spam filtering on my Guestbook. First time in around 18 months though, so I'll take that.
I've been off for nearly 2 weeks now, and a combination of a sprained ankle and being super busy has resulted in zero miles on either of my motorbikes, despite the weather being lovely.
How bloody annoying! 🏍️
I've been trying Zen Browser for a couple days, but I can't get used to it. It's just too much of a digression from the browser paradigm I'm so used to with Firefox.
I suppose I'm just an old curmudgeon. 👴🏻
Will keep it installed though.
Today is gonna be another Tissot Seastar day, I think.
Something tells me that the Selten Salvage Bronze is gonna have some competition for being the most worn watch in my log.
I don't know why, but the term "vibe coding" really pisses me off. I find it utterly stupid.
The most annoying thing about this stupid bloody sprain is no running for 6-8 weeks. I just starting to enjoy it again.
FML.
Never expected to be spending my first day off in the hospital thanks to me slipping over last night and landing very awkwardly on my ankle.
Luckily just a bad sprain - nothing broken. 🤦🏼♂️
I switched from Notesnook to #Obsidian last week for notes on my phone (separate from work notes). I see what all the fuss is about now - it's very good.
I particularly like how everything is just an md file that I can open anywhere.
Last day of work today, then it's 2 weeks of time off. 🎉
First #run back after a week on Chicago and lots of indulgence. Plus, ~30 degree heat. Feel good now that my heart has stopped trying to pop out of my chest. 🏃🏼♂️
Yes, Hooman. I am fluffy. Whatcha gonna do about it?
You know what really pisses me off? When my wife sends an urgent text asking me to bring the washing in as it's about to rain. Only to moan at me for not immediately seeing the message.
...if it's so bloody urgent, call me! 🤣
If you deliberately don't capitalise the text you write, I'm probably not going to read it.
It's not edgy. It makes you look like a Muppet.
Finished watching The Pitt last night. Probably one of the best TV series I've ever seen. Superb.
Why TF does #Ubuntu not automatically switch to dark mode when it's night time? Like, it's 2025 FFS.
When did people start substituting putting the phone to their ear in favour of being on loudspeaker in public?
Fucking idiots.
