New favourite unlocked 🤩

Got round to repairing my WH1000xm3's instead of buying a new pair, new battery, side brackets and earcups for a rough grand total of ~£25. The satisfaction of turning the headphones back on, it working and sound coming out of both earcups 🤩

I'm all for supporting local book stores, but when they take 2 months to order in a book, as they had forgotten to order it, I'm sort of out off 😅

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Came back from vacation and managed to start & finish 2 books as well as get 1/4 way through another 😁

I think our cat is happy to be home from the cat hotel #ragdoll #cat

I've said it before and I'll say it again, StoryGraph needs a designer

When you think you finally got through to the call centre because all the music stopped, only to realise they were taking their time to ready up another banger.

Been reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson and saw people say nothing interesting happens until much later. I must be some exception or just easy to please because i'm 250 pages in and i've loved every part so far 😁.

I have played about 40 hours of Elden Ring Night Reign and i have to say I've been loving it. Sure it's frustrating at times but those games where your team comes together it's awesome.

Read some chapters of #TheDevils by @joeabercrombie.com tonight and above all loving the humour. I howled at the magician 😂

Been looking forward to this, the cover and inside cover artwork look incredible! 😁 @lordgrimdark.bsky.social

Finished reading Piranesi, not sure how I feel about it, it was good and I enjoyed it sure... but I feel like I was hoping for more?

I love @thestorygraph.com, but i wish the UI got some polish, it could be so nice!. Feels massively unfinished or broken in places 😔

Love being added to a chat where people are berating something you were part of building without zero context as to why it was built a certain way. 🙃

Found a gold mine of books at a local book, boardgame, Lego store we have here in Tromsø, picked up these I've had on my TBR for a while ☺️

One thing that has been bugging me for a long time about Spotify. I use "Liked Songs" as my library and the list continuously gets smaller over time as and when music is updated, pulled, re-added to Spotify. Kind of makes me CD's, my own digita/physical media and how it stays in my library.

Won another book give away on @thestorygraph.com, a physical book this time as well! ☺️

Engineer telling me that using a work around feels hacky. The workaround DO_NOT_USE_THIS_PLEASE...

Love the new image generation with ChatGPT, this was quite fun

"I just want to sell out my funeral" by the wonder years, has got to be one of the best tracks ever, so good how it combined pieces of the entire album into one.

And I won a free eBook on @thestorygraph.com! Great way to start a Friday 🤩 app.thestorygraph.com/books/412a48...

Finally got around to reading @andyweirauthor1.bsky.social's Project Hail Mary, wow, incredibly good and enjoyed it from start to finish. It was great to picture the characters in your mind, I just wish there were illustrations, perhaps ChatGPT can help 😀 app.thestorygraph.com/books/ac3ea9...

We have two cats Girl cat, absolute Angel, never any trouble Boy cat, menace to society, gets in everything, vomits everywhere and yowls at everyone non stop

New car day tomorrow, I have not owned a car for almost 6 years since moving to Norway. super excited to go full electric and can't wait 🤩🤩

How is it £20 for 2 double cheese burgers and 9 chicken nuggets 😳

Excited that we got a #DeathStranding2 trailer and release date for this year! The first was definitely a hard game to get into but once you did it was so excellent!

Subnautic and Subnautica ZubZero are on sale on the Xbox store, highly recommend if you haven't played before, so good!

I love stumbling on gems like these on TikTok #CrusinOnMyOwn 📎 open.spotify.com/track/43YEV5...

I have found myself on "book tok", and I swear these people be bullshittin' "Here are the 7 books I read in February" *Shows books which are humongous in size with fuck tons of content.

Finally finished "All The Colours Of The Dark", overall i really enjoyed it although took a bit of getting used to in that first main chapter 😅. app.thestorygraph.com/books/ee3084...

Apparently it's normal for Install-Module in PowerShell to just do nothing when installing certain packages and what I'm installing can take ~30mins with no feedback. 🫠

Loving the new Sam Fender album #PeopleWatching, "Nostalgia's Lie" is currently my favourite. open.spotify.com/album/6Abecb...

Survey which asks you to check each option that applies to you. Survey then asking you to write out information for some 10 options you selected. Mate, I barely had enough time to check the boxes, let alone write 10 essays.

I always find it funny when I'm reading a book and the author is like "...he, or she". Reminds me of James Acaster's standup and how the person probably fully intended to just put "he", but then remembered "she" exists. Its like people have an aversion to the word "They"... Just use they

Finding myself looking for alternatives to apps by big tech and decided to move away from GoodReads over to StoryGraph. Definitely some UI finesse to be had but feels nice 🙂

It is Early February here in Tromsø and we have got ~6-8c temperatures until Sunday, what is happening.

Got my Kobo Libra Colour yesterday and i love it so far and the splash of colour is great. The only thing i wish was better was the Kobo App, ended up just using the website as it was super slow and a bit clunky and wish recommendations/exploring was a bit better.

Been trying Claude for the last week or so and apart from Coding specifically, it kind of falls short everywhere else. I found myself just going back to ChatGPT again and again and im not seeing it being worth the switch imo.

Finally caved and bought a Kobo Libra Colour after deciding which e-reader to get for the last 2 months

People who come into the office regardless of being sick... why do you do this.

Played an online escape room last night with my family, we were terrible as expected, I have no idea how people do these in such a quick time, what should take ~2 hours takes someone 30mins on the leaderboard. I'm guessing speed runners for this sort of thing exist?

Funny how POE2 is in early access and is essentially what Diablo4 should have been on day one. Sure it's a bit rough around the edges right now and needs some tweaks, but it's nowhere near the mess Diablo was when it launched.

I've been learning Rust over the past couple days after finishing work for the year and I'm kind of liking it so far.

Out with work friends tonight and folks talking about experiences with books that makes them love reading. Then there's my ADHD brain that unless there's some kind of purpose beyond reading for fun and enjoyment... Yeah it's probably not happening 😅

Top 0.1%, they're just so fucking good 😅 @spanishlovesongs.bsky.social, Norway tour? 😁

Doing some C# today and I don't remember the last time I did this. 😅

Bought the Rituals Calendar, did not realise what I was signing myself up for, took about an hour to construct 😅

Really liking the vibe here, feels way less toxic and my feed is filled with more wholesome people and content ☺️

I don't know why and I can't prove this but why does Spotify seem to shuffle differently based on the device? Setup an old Google smart speaker in my home office and shuffle is just wildly different compared to my laptop/phone.
