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.

It's not just me, this potato looks like Admiral Ackbar, right?

Fedi #hivemind, I need you.

I use OneNote in work. It's shit, but it's all I have. I need a better way of managing my notes and particularly my to do list. The latter is really the most important. Ideally it has an option to set "next action" so I know what's due on any given day.

I can't install anything on my work laptop, so I intend to run it on my personal Ubuntu machine, for both work and home.

Any recommendations?

Lots of butthurt people responding to my wrist phone post (lots of good dialogue too BTW).

Remember folks, opinions are like arseholes. Everyone has one. πŸ™ƒ

Sitting here staring at this screen trying to decide whether I should cancel the redirect on my #fosstodon account...

Upped the distance on my runs today from 2.5km to 3.25km. Did it in 19:05, which would equate to a 29 min 5km. Happy with that.

Although temping, I'm not gonna go further than that for a few more weeks. πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

My Sony buds have finally bit the dust after repairing them last year.

I took the Pixel Bud A's out of the cupboard that I got free with my 9a. Garbage. No ANC and v.poor sound quality.

Looks like I'm on the hunt for a new pair of buds. πŸ™

I really need to cut the grass, but it's too damned hot. πŸ₯΅

So I've gone down this giant rabbit hole of redesigning my site the last couple of weeks and I think I have an idea of what the next version of this site is gonna look like...

I know some people find this stuff boring, but I'm having a blast.

...and now I'm playing around with similar designs to this site circa 2020, and I have to say, I really like it. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Just been for my 3rd run of the week and managed to knock another 35 seconds off my time. πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

I've just been tweaking the design history page and realised that I've had the current design (pretty much) for 3 years now. No wonder I'm getting itchy feet.

I am so tempted to re-design my site to something like this. Someone please step in and tell me it's a bad idea. πŸ˜‚

We've been having some groundwork done to flatten a section at the top of the garden. Living in the Welsh hills means no flat land.

44 tonnes of soil later, we have a flat space. Just need to seed it with grass now...

I hope nothing comes the other way. 🫣

Long day in the office resulted in me feeling tired and lethargic. Went for a run, the endorphins started pumping and I knocked 45 seconds off my time. Feel great now! πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸ’¨

Never smoked, never vaped. Turns out they're both pretty bloody bad for you. Who knew. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

My mum wanted to go see 28 Years Later, so I took her tonight.

Absolute dog shit. Don’t waste your time. Ralph Fiennes was about the only good thing in it.

Just been for my first run in quite some time. RIP my knees tomorrow...

Bought the new version of the #Framework keyboard, which doesn't have a #Windows logo on it. That's always annoyed me, so I'm glad they now offer a version without it in the British layout. πŸ‘πŸ»
