I’m really liking my new #secretlabs chair. The non-recyclable packaging is however a horror show!

Moonlight/sunshine game streaming is working amazingly well over WiFi. I am playing Final Fantasy Tactics on my living room Xbox streaming from my pc! Perhaps I should try it with someone more sensitive to lag though…

A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse: It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades. Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long […]

I was noticing my gaming time dropping over the last few weeks, thought I was just tired and stressed. I have been unconsciously actively avoiding screens outside of work. Anyway, I went and got my eyes checked… new prescription needed! Get your eyes tested regularly!

Wow, it’s 3pm already? #emergencyalertuk

Found ourselves at a #boardgame cafe this evening! Wish we had one closer to home for sure. Cascadia - tons of fun, would definitely play again. Felt like a more detailed version of Ecosystem Photosynthesis- less fun with this, perhaps we were too tired to understand the rules properly but we […]

Tasty, tasty home baked bread. (By my wife, not me… I should add) #baking

And that's the semi-regular #homeassistant maintenance done... Absolutely no idea why my mobile notifications died earlier in the week.... Gotta hate (but also love) Home Assistant!!

Bought a new beard trimmer this week, and they finally started including a USB charging cable instead of a shaver plug! Shame it’s USB-A, but progress is fun!

We are *so* close to hitting thirty-eight THOUSAND memorial benches! If you'd like to help while out on a walk, here's what you need to do: 🌍 Set your phone's camera to geotag photos 📷 Take a photo of a memorial bench ⬆️ Upload it to https://openbenches.org […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I’d forgotten how silly and wonderful the prehistory chapter is in Live A Live! Absolutely amazing they managed to portray a story in a JRPG without any words at all. 🍖☁️💨

There is a person on my train explaining loudly that we should install the ticket barriers at the actual door to the carriage to stop people getting on without a ticket. I assume this person also moans regularly about delays, and price rises 🤡

Hopefully apple and google sort out the mess surrounding #ageverification much like they did with Bluetooth Covid track and trace. Apple knows I’m adult. Just send that information to the server when they ask? Why do we have to supply ID to random companies? Why is everything so hard?

I got an email from a reader of my blog this week. They weren’t pushy for help, but instead asked if I’d had same problem on a tutorial I wrote. Reminded me of the old internet. More of that please! 🥰

Sat looking at the stars tonight, and wondering how much soup could fit in the Big Dipper? ⭐️

Time to uninstall #PikminBloom as I have realised once again that Niantic games are simply not fun. “Pay £1.99 to store more Pikmin” hmm, no thanks. 🙂‍↔️
