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 think that's the closest I've ever come to running out of fuel. The car stopped reporting miles remaining around 8 miles from home. 🫣
Managed to limp it home just about though.
Love a winter walk in the hills. The views are beautiful. 😂
Today I need to:
- Take the dogs for a walk
- Service the lawn mowers
But I can't be arsed doing anything. I always get really lazy and lose motivation when I have extended periods of time off work (I've been off for a week at this point).
God help me when I retire!
Mentioned recently that my iPad was on its last legs after nearly 6 years of faithful service. So started thinking about a replacement. I only use it for reading RSS and some YouTube before bed. Instead of looking for a replacement, I just decided to stop watching YT before bed, and read RSS on my phone. 🤷♂️
Now I pick-up my Kindle instead, which is far better than watching crap on YT.
Out of office is on, work phone is switched off, and that's me for 2024! Merry Christmas, all! 🎉
Well this doesn't look good. 🫣
I hope to find the time, energy, and money to reopen all of this sometime in the new year.
"Sometime in the new year" doesn't sound like a holiday break to me.
You know what would be great? If websites stopped embedding links from fucking #Twitter.
Because, you know, the billions of people on this earth that don't have Twitter accounts can't see the post...
Nah, I think you're good thanks, Alex.
So after 2 weeks with the Pixel 8, I'm back in my iPhone 13 Mini - the Pixel is getting returned today. I'll write something about it all soon. Probably.
So my iPad is like 6 years old at this point and it's really starting to creek. I only use it for some YouTube and reading before bed, so don't need anything fancy.
I'd love an iPad Mini, but no chance of me paying that much! Thinking maybe an Amazon Fire tablet. Any other recommendations?
I have man flu. It's been nice knowing you all. ☠️
Tried #Nextcloud last night to see if it's improved any. Was hoping to use it for notes. Anyway, it's still shit. :(
We're good, I managed to find a builders bag full of off cuts from the various DIY projects I've done this year.
Kept them for a rainy day. Good thinking, past Kev. Dog is clearly happy. 👍🏻
A storm has hit today so it's wet and windy AF. So much so that the wind is forcing the rain into the cracks in our chimney and forcing it inside. 🫣
We decided to light fire to A) dry it out, and B) keep us warm. But we realised we don't have enough wood (FFS!)
So I've had to do a panic run to the barn to chop enough wood to see us through.
First world problems, eh!
Hot take on my first few hours back on #Android
- It's REALLY polished now
- The keyboard is 1000% better than iOS
- Apps are better than they used to be
Happy so far. 👍🏻
After LOTS of research I ordered the #Fairphone5, then bottled it 10 mins later and cancelled the order. 😂
Hmmm I might have to re-think #Vivaldi on my iPhone as it's destroying my battery. Anyone else seen this?
So I bought a new watch for an absolute steal on eBay recently. This morning I received a message from the seller saying "very sorry, the watch is now damaged".
I call bullshit. I think they realised how cheap they let it go for so are backing out now.
I fucking hate eBay.
I just text my mum asking her what she and my step dad want for Christmas. Here's her reply. 😂
[Picking kids up from school...]
Me: So what did you do today boys?
Youngest: I wrote about black heroes.
Me: Oh, that's cool. Who did you write about?
Oldest: Was it Batman?
🤦♂️🤣
He wrote about Nelson Mandela, for those who are interested.
