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.
Apologies if you subscribe to my Watch Log feed. I just pushed a change to it that fixed a small problem, but that problem was with the guids, so feed readers think everything in it is new.
Sorry again. 🙃
Me: This year, I'm gonna get that field looking like a bloody lawn, and I'm gonna cut paths into the other field like a big maze.
Wife: You're a dreamer, Quirk! The grass is far too long for you to cut paths and you're never going to get a FIELD looking like a LAWN.
Me: Hold my beer...
Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Oracle Free Tier…does all this “free” hosting make anyone else uneasy? No? Just me then? 🫣
I'm so ready for the weekend. One more meeting to go...
Oooooo new watch day! I'm not into Manga, like at all, but when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. It's such a cool and interesting watch. It almost looks fake.
That feeling when you visit Robin Rendle's website and you're like "urgh, this is such a cool site. I wish I'd thought of that..." 😂
The design of it is just 👌🏻
You know what? The internet can be really fucking cool sometimes.
One of our younger chickens has recently started laying. I think she's a Star Wars fan? 🐔

Why does #Microsoft #Windows STILL not have tabs in the file explorer???
Had a great few days away in mid-Wales with my wife, kids and in-laws. We particularly enjoyed the beach. 🏖️
I wish #Apple would sort their keyboard out. The text correction is shockingly bad, especially when swiping to type. It’s to the point where I have to proofread everything I type.
Perfect example - it just corrected “proodread” to “progress” WTF??
I feel like #Android had this solved like many years ago.
My wife and I recently bought an "Emma Mattress". It's one of those fancy pants memory foam mattresses. It hasn't been delivered yet, but I'm very excited about it. I think that officially makes me old, right?
So I've just been doing some tidying in the garage and I found this old #Compaq #Netbook. I've put it on charge, but do we think it will boot, and what OS do we think it's running?
Me: Go and tidy your room please. I only want to see a single Hot Wheels loop out in there.
1 hour later…
Youngest: Dad, I’ve tidied my room and there’s only one Hot Wheels loop in there now. Come and look…
Me: THAT’S MASSIVE!
Him: Yeah (looking confused), but it’s only one loop.
Me: 🤦♂️
It never ceases to amaze me when I go to the stable and find fresh eggs in there. I don’t know why, I just think it’s incredibly cool that these little animals can produce an egg, every day.
Also found 2 had been snuck into the pack of bedding straw. 🥚🐓🥚🐓
My wife has been offering to make a lot of coffees recently, should I be worried? 😳

One really great unintended advantage of building my watch picker/log is that it’s now become a little thing that my youngest son and I do every morning.
He chooses the watch, then finds it in my collection for me to wear. ❤️
This is a fascinating read. I’ve never heard of Hikikomori before.

Holy shit that was a busy day! What ever happened to relaxing weekends??
Ok, kids are in bed so it’s time for a beer in the hot tub, I think. 👌
I've been experimenting with a notes page on my blog (https://kevquirk.com/notes) and cross-posting to socials.
It’s getting tedious already, so I’m not sure this one will stick…
