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.
Does an Apple Music client exist for Ubuntu?
Going down a website rabbit hole is just the best. It starts with a blog post that links to another post, I check their site - they have lots of great content.
Oooh there’s a blogroll…
An hour later I’ve added 5 more sites to my RSS reader and I now have hundreds of new posts to read.
I ♥️ the internet sometimes.
Around a year ago, I sold a project bike I'd just completed to my younger brother. It was a 22 year old Triumph Speed Four that I had fully restored (pic of the bike after the final "shake down" ride after finishing the project).
Last week, my brother took it to a Triumph specialist for its annual service and the mechanic commented on how it was one of the best condition Speed Fours he had ever seen. High praise indeed for my mechanical prowess. 🏍️
I just logged into my RSS reader and I see a number of unread posts from Jack Baty. That can only mean one thing...he switched platform again. 🤣
Youngest: [pointing to a sign that says "Chiropodist"] daaaad, what does that say?
Me: That says "shi-rop-oh-dist".
Him: What's that?
Me: it's someone who looks after people's feet.
Him: Random...

Wife has some friends over.
Me: "I'm just going out to the garage. I'll be back in 10 mins."
2 hours later... 🤣
I've been having some fun coding on this site recently (now I have more time). The latest addition is a Stats page. I've been wanting to do one for ages, and finally managed to get it done. Check it out...
The cat and I don't really spend any time together as I'm not a cat person. She can be quite cute though.
Out of office is on, my laptop is shut down, and my work phone is off.
See you in a week, work! 🥳
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.

Firefox is the only major browser not backed by a billionaire and our independence shapes everything we build.

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.
When your kid is like "Dad, I made you a present. It's a poo!"
Cheers, son. 💩
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.
Sign me up! 🤦🏼♂️
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?
So it turns out that rotavating (tilling) is really bloody hard work!
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.
There are few things more enjoyable than the first coffee of the day. ☕
End of an era. 🙁
