It never ceases to amaze me when I go to the stable and find fresh eggs in there. I don’t know why, I just think it’s incredibly cool that these little animals can produce an egg, every day.

Also found 2 had been snuck into the pack of bedding straw. 🥚🐓🥚🐓

I've been experimenting with a notes page on my blog (https://kevquirk.com/notes) and cross-posting to socials.

Having my 1:1 with my boss, both on camera and my cat throws up in the background.

Him: Did your cat just throw up?

Me: Yes. Yes, she did. I was hoping you didn't see that. 😂

Him: You wanna end early and go clean than up.

Me: Nah, it's good. Looks like one of the dogs is eating it anyway. 🤮

So over the last couple weeks I’ve been getting back into weight training and more intense cardio in my little home gym.

I nearly skipped tonight because I’m so tired from work, glad I didn't now those endorphins have kicked in.

So it seems that #DuckDuckGo was down for the last few hours because of a #Bing outage. That's very annoying; DDG should probably get out from under Microsoft's coat tails...

Well, hello world. Look at my new fancy pants notes section.

It's All Very Narcissistic, Right?

So yesterday I published a post about logging which watches I wear. It's been a fun little coding challenge for me, and I'm proud of myself. But there's always someone who has to piss on your parade...

I Stopped Mastodon DDoSing Me (I Think)

I recently wrote about how Mastodon is DDoSing me every time I post a link to this site. I've managed to fix the problem...I think.
