Well that was probably the most disgusting thing I've ever bitten into. 🤢

Spent a couple hours improving my little #Jekyll CMS, #Hyde today. At this point, I'm really happy with it. Here's a little screencast I recorded to demo it:
There once was a bloke called Kev,
Who tooted, then vanished. Whatev.
He tried other sites, but they were all rather shite,
So now he’s back where the nerds unite.

Screw it. I've ripped out all the comment and indieweb functionality. I was already starting to battle with noise and shit - it's just too complicated. I'll let Manton handle all that for me in Micro.blog.
Didn't last long, did it? 🤣
Spent some time this afternoon hooking up webmentions properly between Micro.blog and kevquirk.com so everything from Micro.blog now (hopefully) feeds back to the mother ship. We'll see if/when someone replies to this note. 🙃
Will everyone please stop taking about #Omarchy. It's too tempting!
My new CMF 2 Pro came with a free pair of Nothing Buds Pro 2. I wasn't expecting much as they're only £49 at full price.
But Jesus, these things are great! The sound is almost as good as my £200+ Sony buds.
Switched to a Nothing Phone CMF 2 last night. It's really, really nice. Can't believe it's a £200 phone.
If you're following this blog via RSS, I'm really sorry about the spam. I've made some functional changes to how the site works that required me to regenerate the RSS feeds.
The more I play with #Obsidian, the more I realise why people love it so much. They've thought of everything.
I know lots of people don't like services like ChatGPT, but I get so much use out of it. It use it to tweak language here and there when needed (among other things). It's great for things like "hey Geeps, I don't like this paragraph, but I can't think of a better way to write it...".
Switched to #Spotify after my frustrations with #Apple Music. I forgot just how good the curated playlists are with Spotify!
I hope there's no wind tonight. 😳
We had a birthday party for my youngest today. Instead of the usual soft play, trampoline place, or other such boring stuff, we found a real-life Minecraft themed party in the woods. My oldest dressed up as the creeper to catch all the intrepid explorers.
Needless to say, the kids LOVED it.
I have a tonne of songs in my #Apple Music library, but it feels like it's only shuffling the same hundred or so tracks. #Spotify felt way better in this regard. Is it just me?
We're in the process of getting a new roof put on the house, so the entire thing is covered in scaffolding, which the kids love playing on despite our many warnings.
Yesterday, our oldest asked us if he can have some scaffolding for his birthday. 😂
Dammit. The first piece of spam has made it through the (rudimentary) spam filtering on my Guestbook. First time in around 18 months though, so I'll take that.
I've been off for nearly 2 weeks now, and a combination of a sprained ankle and being super busy has resulted in zero miles on either of my motorbikes, despite the weather being lovely.
How bloody annoying! 🏍️
I've been trying Zen Browser for a couple days, but I can't get used to it. It's just too much of a digression from the browser paradigm I'm so used to with Firefox.
I suppose I'm just an old curmudgeon. 👴🏻
Will keep it installed though.
