Hot weather ☀️ + pooches with thick coats 🐶 = uncomfortable pooches. 🥵
Lucky for us we have a way of cooling down at home. 🙃

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! 😂
Today's wristcheck is the Seiko SBSC009
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...
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...
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.
Today's wristcheck is the Spinnaker Spence
So I am now @kev on Micro.blog, not @kevq, thanks to @manton. 🙃

Today's wristcheck is the Casio F-84W
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!
🙈
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. ☕️
Today's wristcheck is the Seiko SNK805K2
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?
