My wife sent me this picture yesterday. Growing your own food is pretty fucking cool. 🥕 🫛 🥚
Three Years With My M1 MacBook Air
I've had my M1 MacBook Air for 3 years now. It's the most expensive laptop I've ever owned, but was it worth it?
Politics and Communities
After launching 500 Social to little fanfare yesterday, Jack and Dave have been having an interesting conversation about politics in communities, and I wanted to chime in, since it's focussed on 500 Social.
I can think of worse places to sit and read. 🤓🍻
Chores are pretty much done for the day. I was gonna go out on one of the motorbikes as it's a beautiful hot Sunday, but that means all the Power Rangers will be out. So instead, I'm gonna pour myself a beer, grab my #Kindle and sit under the apple tree to read.
So today there are 2 anniversaries:
-
My 5 year wedding anniversary
-
The 0 anniversary of 500 Social :-)
Introducing 500 Social
I've decided to go for it and start that deliberately small online community I was talking about. It's called 500 Social.
“Hey human, are we gonna get that apple core or what?” 🍎🐶
I've been craving a pint of #Guinness the last few days. I have some in the fridge.
It isn't appropriate to drink a Guinness at 09:05 in the morning, on a Friday, while you're working from home, right? RIGHT?!
That counts, right?
Thinking About Online Communities
I've been thinking about online communities a lot lately, and had an idea about a new Masto instance, but maybe it wasn't such a good idea?
Why is #Apple #Music so fucking shit? I have a "smart" playlist that automatically downloads my playlist to my device, yet it still requires an internet connection to play the songs.
That's not to mention the random times it just decides not to play a song at all.
Everybody's Free (To Write Websites)
A parody of the \"Wear Sunscreen\" thing from the late 90s. This is just fabulous.
Could You Give Up Social Media?
I have a love hate relationship with social media. In some respects it's great, but in others it's a nightmare. I'm wondering if I could give up social media entirely...
I just went for my first run in like 2 years. I didn’t die, and my knee seems to have held up well. We’ll see what’s sore tomorrow morning… 😂
My Git commit messages are always descriptive. 🫣
(I apologise for giving all the developers out there a seizure).
I nipped out on one of the bikes earlier for coffee with friends. I just finished mowing one of the fields, and the paths in the other field. Now I'm cleaning my fish tank out and listening to a 90's "smash hits" playlist.
I have zero regrets for listening to such a playlist. This is what Sundays were made for. ❤️
Flailing About With My Mower
Back in May I wrote about an evening stroll in the field and leaving the grass to grow. Since then, things have escalated...A LOT.
There's me, resizing and reformatting all my images like some kind of caveman, when all it needed was 4 lines of code in a @getkirby blueprint to automate the whole thing. 🤦♂️
create:
width: 1200
crop: false
format: webp
Traffic is terrible round here...
