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.

My kids (well, let’s be honest, my wife) know I’m a greedy bastard and got me this for #FathersDay.

I think I win Father’s Day, right?

(and yes, some of the donuts are gone already 😂)

Been after a petrol strimmer for a while, but didn’t want to pay a stupid amount for one.

Found a non-running one for free locally. Wasn’t running because of perished fuel lines. £6 in parts and the thing is now running great. 😂

I just logged into #LinkedIn (something I do very rarely) and this is what I was greeted with. Like, seriously, how the fuck is this even usable? Maybe it's time to delete my account...

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? 😳
