Another Wednesday another rest day. I need it - I'm in pain all over and so sleepy... But I'm still not quite there yet. Laying down to give myself rest feels wrong. And my brain want to write cheques my body can't cash... I'll get there eventually... #ME #CFS #ChronicIllness

That wonderful feeling when you've been questioning why the ADHD meds hadn't kicked in over the morning, only to find you've forgotten to take them when it comes to the next does 🫣😭

What the hell.... Tried the speed editor on my windows desktop for the first time today and it just would not work. Bluetooth or wired. Found the link below and it's solved. Mind-blown how someone found this, but I'm so happy they did! www.reddit.com/r/davincires...

You shut your mouth!

On the other end of the scale there is @frame.work My 11th Gen Intel mb that we use as a plex server died after our vacation. The RMC battery was dead, so then sent a new one within a day or so. Still no joy. The explained what to try next (video coming - I recorded it).

Last week I shared my failed towered house because my fineliner ran out and i rushed it with alcohol markers that were just too bold. Well, i pack of Windsor and Newton fineliners arrived and this morning I thought I'd try to rescue it. Not wonderful, but I'll take it. #KeepLearning #ArtPractice

10/10, no notes

Ahh... What a relaxing game! I've been playing with #TinyGlade for a while & just got back into it watching YouTube tutorials. Hours dissapear! No power ups, challenges, or stress. Just build your diarama & chill out. At first glance it's too simple, but has so many possibilities! It's brilliant!

This was a fun one to illustrate🫡

I love this design for the pull tab on the delivery box from #NelsonShoes. I love it when someone makes a design whimsical in a simple, but effective, way. 🤩

Failed art today! I took the tower on the postcard, painted it with water colour trying out some new techniques & it was... OK. Then I went to fineline the details. Only... My fineliner is empty and i have no patience. So i used a different brush that u hoped i could control. Spoilers. I couldn't 😭🤣

I was wrong. I no longer think it was a bad buy. I know it. #Asus are refusing to fix the laptop because it had been dismantled badley. @megekko.bsky.social are just wiping their hands of the problem even though the have the evidence to prove Asus is lying about how they recieved it.

We need the disasters caused by Trump’s policies, spending priorities, and lunatic cabinet to become synonymous with him the same way “Hooverville” will forever link Hoover to the Great Depression.

So I wanted to see if my tower was a first time lucky, or could I redo it. I started with high quality watercolour paper and aside from not using enough of the paper I'm happy. Then I tried a bookmark, and tried to use colour theory and alcohol markers for the shading. Not great, but not bad either😊

Mac question for the sky mind. I've used UTM for windows for using Visual Studio. But... Its quite slow, and uses a lot of power. Would Parallells be better? If sonits worth the money... Any experience?

I'm not going to vote for you to kill me. It's never going to fucking happen. If you want to vote to support my death, I'm never, ever going to help you do that. bsky.app/profile/lumi...

My art journey continues. If you'd have told me 2 years ago I could have drawn this I'd have laughed at you. I have zero talent. Steady, though not consistent practice 😅, and I'm producing things that are so much better. Will I ever be great? No, but I am getting good 😊

I've been wanting to share these for an age because I'm so proud of them. But there were surprise gifts for @engstromjess.bsky.social and @engstromjimmy.bsky.social so I couldn't 😅 Logos are super hard, but I'm so happy with how far my drawing skills have come in 3 years!

We've been planning to rewrite the #Swetugg site for a while now, but a move of hosting meant either that it was going to take as long to migrate as it would to just start again. So... The last few weeks I've spent a couple of hours a day doing that! swetugg.se

Your reminder that Elon Musk gleefully condemned millions of poverty stricken children to starvation and death during his time running DOGE as part of the Trump administration. Dismantling USAID will kill more people than a hundred bomb strikes.

A week in pain and relaxation... First up pian. These are the after pictures of the cable management that caused the blood on the carpet. The #LinusTechTips magnetic cable management system is awesome. Paired with a cable tube so there is only one umbilical rather than lots of wires and I'm 😊

Been seeing an uptick in what are clearly vibe-coded PRs. On the surface this seems great -- more contributors! But in the reality it's often AI slop that the person hasn't reviewed and instead the burden of review is on us, the maintainers -- which is a horrible trade.

Yikes. I've been playing with .NET Interactive Notebooks on my macs for the last few weeks and they are *so* useful for experimenting whilst thinking aloud in the markdown sections. Unfortunately, there seems to be an unsolved bug in VS Code that causes 100% CPU usage when quitting code.

Well, I managed to get things working again last night. But I literally had to rebuild the project by starting afresh and copying the code files into the new project. I have no idea what I did, but it was not good 🫣

😭😭😭😭😭 I guess today isn't my day. Getting everything ready for tonight and my dev environment went boom... So... Were going to rearrange. I'll let y'all know when it's going to be. Sorry.

This is the most horrifying retelling of "if you give a mouse a cookie" or this scene from Malcolm in the Middle ever.

After smashing a socket doing cable management yesterday (don't ask 😅🫣) I got a new one. Easy job, power off, remove socket, put new on in. No need to move anything except the speaker in front of the socket. Then I dropped a screw. Then I remember I had glass framed pictures under the table

New music artist post! I'm behind with posting new artists I found via TikTok. But... I followed #Nati because of their *amazing* Alanis Morrisette covers. But the Spotify list is just so haunting and chill. Have a listen! open.spotify.com/artist/2LrP1...

Woohoo! @ahoylemon.xyz has kindly said he'll come onto a stream and help me with the CSS! If you want to see how badly I did by trying to figure some stuff out and asking (then fixing) Claude code join us at 7pm CET/Midday Central Time www.youtube.com/live/XHEitZ5...

Farage is never interviewed on politics programmes, he just appears on them and speaks. A level of scrutiny that would embarrass a hack on Smash Hits or Hello. #r4today

I'm currently busy rewriting the #Swetugg website. Slowly moving components from the old to new. A design may be in the works, but for now it's a move to .NET 9 Blazor web app. #CSS is not my friend. So if anyway who knows CSS and feels like a live stream next week to get it going, let me know 😊

2 weeks ago, I got my new tattoo. Today the hospital took 4 vials of my blood. Maybe, I should stop having needles in my arm in a Friday afternoon 😅

Seriously, go watch this. If you are not in the MS space and don't know @scott.hanselman.com this is a great way to get to know him.

That feeling when you have just finished uploading the manuscript for #AzureStaticWebApps and you make a quick application to test an experiment at work... And forget the navigation fallback meaning people get confused and complain that it doesn't work. Oops 😅

But I managed another #Posca bookmark! I thought I'd turn to something creepier. Not great, but much more complex than I'd tried before.

🎼🎶🎤 Oops, I did it again, I forgot my pills, freaking out in the den, Oh ADHD 🎶 (Maybe why I struggling so much trying to read my book that I have up 😅😭)

Today's Posca bookmark. And as I was writing the alt text I realised there is a mistake. Oops. Still a lot of fun though!

therapy should not be a luxury

Thank you to @lindsay_bown for sharing your garden visitor , today's #FoxOfTheDay !

After spending an hour cleaning the studio my ME was kicking me. I meant to do some water colour, but I just didn't have the energy to get the paints ready. So instead... I played with the #Posca pens and made some cute #bookmarks instead. Happy weekend all.

One thing though... No matter where the treadmill is in the house, my partner can hear me walking in her office. Think thud, thud, thud though the concrete of the building itself... Does anyone have advice on how to isolate it a little, so I am not disturbing her 🫣

#WalkingPad 1 day in... I like it so far... Yesterday I managed 3x10 mins at a slow 4kmph pace. It felt good, and my normal evening ME crash was no worse than usual. Yay.

I need to do some kind of exercise & walking though the neighbourhood just isn't enticing at the moment. So... 10 mins at a slowish pace, a few times a day will hopefully be enough to get some kind of base fitness, without triggering a PEM episode 🤞😊

In a not completely unrelated post... Have any of my #Dutch friends ever used www.macvoorminder.nl? They seem to have pretty good prices, but realistic prices. But it's still a lot to drop on an unknown quantity... A MBP M3 Max (same as work, but black instead of silver) looks tempting...

I'm beginning to think my #Asus #ZenbookS14 was a bad buy... The motherboard died, when it came back a screw post had been stripped im the chassis. Now the screen has stopped working (I'm guessing that the reason the screw was stripped is because the cable was in the wrong place).

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

I just learned of xclacksoverhead.org and think it's beautiful! I instantly added it to my site. GNU #TerryPratchett.
