Amelia the Chicken
We lost our favourite chicken, Amelia, last night. She was the best.
A day is short, a life is long
Kevin talks about some of the stuff he's figured out in his life now that he's turned 35 and it's eerily similar to some of the stuff I've figured out.
Finally! #ClicksCommunicator
Absolutely gorgeous sky this morning.
It's Never Too Late to Learn
My wife showed me an email I'd sent her when we first met and my lack of basic English was shocking.
Nelly the pup absolutely loving life in the field! 🤣
Because a basic sitemap would be boring!
The constant outrage on #Mastodon (and maybe other social sites?) for [bad thing of the day] is so tiring.
Do you know what the hardest thing to do on earth is?
Quantum physics? No.
Solving world hunger? Nope.
Getting Trump impeached? Nah.
It's climbing the stairs on leg day! 🦵🏼
New Design for Sept 2026
I decided I was bored of the old site, so I created a new theme.
Why do so many calendar apps offer Sunday as the first day of the week? It's not the first day of the week, it's the last.
Why is that even an option FFS?
I've recently switched to Gnome's default apps for email etc. So instead of #Thunderbird doing all the things, I have Geary, Calendar, and Contacts. Most of the time I only need email, so it's nice having a much simplified UX.
I also like how integrated into Gnome they all are.
Android Auto Has Been Hammering My Phone’s Battery
I've noticed that Android Auto has been hammering my phone battery recently. I think I've fixed it now though.
Inside Ukraine's Kill Zone
Really interesting (and saddening) look at the front line in the Ukraine/Russia war.
Carl's Doomsday Scenario
The second Dungeon Crawler Carl book was just as good as the first one. Straight onto to 3rd!
The New Patrol (Liam Scott #2)
The second book in the Liam Scott series by Andy McNab. It's close the the bone in parts, but my oldest son enjoyed it.
This is what rainy days were made for. 🌧️🐶
A friend asked for help setting up a blog, so I went with #Pureblog (obviously).
We went from nothing to fully working blog, with all the customisations she wanted in about 25 minutes.
I know I'm bias, but I love how flexible and powerful Pure Blog is becoming.
Dungeon Crawler Carl
First book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and it was bloody brilliant!
Gamifying Snacking with Snacker Tracker
Evening snacking has long been a problem for me, so I built a tool to help me gamify it, which is working well so far.
