Haven't ridden the #Enfield since I bought the BMW. Decided I'd take it to work today to see if I can make up my mind about whether or not I want to sell it.
Still on the fence...
If you have never stood in front of your destination, with your back to it, and said to the kids "I think it's around here somewhere. Possibly over there... while pointing in the opposite direction to said destination, are you even a Dad at all?
Does anyone else's #Ubuntu machine hang on shutdown? This happens to me regularly. It just sits there and I have to long-press the power button.
Not Till We Are Lost (Bobiverse Book 5)
This is the 5th book in the Bobiverse series and it's all starting to get a little convoluted.
I ended my #Kagi subscription 11 days ago, and switched back to #DuckDuckGo. Honestly, I haven't really noticed any difference. I still found what I wanted to find, and I'm $10/month better off.

More Journal App Updates
I've been getting more into journaling lately, and as a result, I've continued to improve my little Journal app.
One of the things that really annoys me about #Ubuntu are tabs on the Files app. The colours are back to front. If you look at the image attached, "Home" is the active tab here, not "GitHub".
It should be inverted; the inactive tab should be grey and the active tab should be white.
Hot weather ☀️ + pooches with thick coats 🐶 = uncomfortable pooches. 🥵
Lucky for us we have a way of cooling down at home. 🙃
Bots Are Eating My Blog for Lunch
Peter digs into why his server was suddenly overloaded and finds a swarm of bots chewing through his blog.
Always reassuring when you're sat on the toilet in work and you hear the iOS camera sound coming from another cubicle. 🫣
One of the things that's been frustrating me about #MicroBlog is that it only ever replies to a single person. If I want to reply to multiple, I have to remember their handle.
...and then I discovered the little @ symbol in the toolbar that lets me reply any/all in the thread. Idiot! 😂
I watched a bit of the #Apple event, but lost interest after 40 mins. So this "groundbreaking re-design" is (drum-roll please 🥁🥁)...
Translucent backgrounds. 🎉🎉🎉
🤣🤣 Oh Apple...
Is there anything more frustrating than updating the maps on a Sat Nav? Why have Sat Nav manufacturers not figured this out yet? It's been long enough...
Really enjoying Lillihub from @heyloura. It has some nice touches that the default #MicroBlog timeline doesn't have, like the ability to reply to multiple people in a thread.
Clutch has gone on my wife's car. Bloody brilliant.
I asked her if it's felt different recently and her response was "yeah, it's felt like it wasn't going into gear properly for a while now, and there's a light on the dash."
You didn't think to fucking tell me??? 😡
Woohoo! Completely problem free and only a minute or so of downtime. Good job, #Ubuntu! 🎉
I just SSH'd into my web server and was reminded that I'm still on Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 is there waiting for me. Is today a good day to do an OS version upgrade in prod? I think so!
🙈
What Kinda Blogs Do You Read?
I was wondering what kinda things you, dear reader, like to read online?
I just read this post by Jason Velazquez and now I really want a moka pot. ☕️
Since #MicroBlog doesn't support hashtags, I decided to roll my own. If all went well, the hashtags in this post should link back to my site. #Kirby really is great!
No idea if it worked on #Mastodon, or if they overwrite the links. Can someone confirm please?
