Nah, I think you're good thanks, Alex.
It's Good to Talk
I recently had a great email exchange with Herman Martinus of BearBlog fame and wanted to talk about that a little bit more.
I'm Back on iOS
Yes, you read that right, folks. I've decided to flip myself back to team Apple and have ditched my new Pixel 8.
So after 2 weeks with the Pixel 8, I'm back in my iPhone 13 Mini - the Pixel is getting returned today. I'll write something about it all soon. Probably.
Why I Think Nextcloud Is Shit
I've tried Nextcloud a few times over the years, but every time I do, I end up coming away thinking it's shit. Here's why...
So my iPad is like 6 years old at this point and it's really starting to creek. I only use it for some YouTube and reading before bed, so don't need anything fancy.
I'd love an iPad Mini, but no chance of me paying that much! Thinking maybe an Amazon Fire tablet. Any other recommendations?
I have man flu. It's been nice knowing you all. ☠️
Tried #Nextcloud last night to see if it's improved any. Was hoping to use it for notes. Anyway, it's still shit. :(
How to Add an RSS Feed to Your Kirby Blog
Here's a quick and simple way of adding an RSS feed to your Kirby based blog without using plugins.
We're good, I managed to find a builders bag full of off cuts from the various DIY projects I've done this year.
Kept them for a rainy day. Good thinking, past Kev. Dog is clearly happy. 👍🏻
A storm has hit today so it's wet and windy AF. So much so that the wind is forcing the rain into the cracks in our chimney and forcing it inside. 🫣
We decided to light fire to A) dry it out, and B) keep us warm. But we realised we don't have enough wood (FFS!)
So I've had to do a panic run to the barn to chop enough wood to see us through.
First world problems, eh!

Manu writes about his opinions on Substack vs blogging and owning your content. I heartily agree!
The Player Of Games
The 2nd book in Banks' culture series. I enjoyed this book, but found it quite predictable.
Hot take on my first few hours back on #Android
-
It's REALLY polished now
-
The keyboard is 1000% better than iOS
-
Apps are better than they used to be
Happy so far. 👍🏻
I'm Switching Back to Android
A few days ago I wrote about how I was thinking about a switch to the Farephone 5. I've now made a decision and ordered a new phone, but it's not the Fairphone.
After LOTS of research I ordered the #Fairphone5, then bottled it 10 mins later and cancelled the order. 😂
I’ve Been Thinking About a Switch to the Fairphone 5
I've recently been thinking about a switch to the Fairphone 5, but after some research, I'm not sure it's worth it?
A Royal Fishy Fuck Up
I recently added 5 new fish to my cichlid aquarium, but I managed to make a royal fuck up along the way.
AMA - Do I See a Future for the Federated Web
In this AMA post, Nigel asks me about the about the federated web and whether I think there's a future for it. It's an interesting question as I'm heavily involved in the federated web by running this blog, as well as Fosstodon and 500.Social.
Hmmm I might have to re-think #Vivaldi on my iPhone as it's destroying my battery. Anyone else seen this?
