The more I play with #Obsidian, the more I realise why people love it so much. They've thought of everything.
Thinking About Simplification
This site’s a fun playground, but it’s evolved into a cluttered maze. Lately I’ve been wondering if it’s time to strip it down so I can focus on writing.
I know lots of people don't like services like ChatGPT, but I get so much use out of it. It use it to tweak language here and there when needed (among other things). It's great for things like "hey Geeps, I don't like this paragraph, but I can't think of a better way to write it...".
Switched to #Spotify after my frustrations with #Apple Music. I forgot just how good the curated playlists are with Spotify!
I hope there's no wind tonight. 😳
Artificial Condition: The Murderbot Diaries
This is book 2 in the Murderbot Diaries and the series is getting better!
We had a birthday party for my youngest today. Instead of the usual soft play, trampoline place, or other such boring stuff, we found a real-life Minecraft themed party in the woods. My oldest dressed up as the creeper to catch all the intrepid explorers.
Needless to say, the kids LOVED it.
All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries
All Systems Red is volume 1 of the Murderbot Diaries. A short novella that I really enjoyed. Will definitely continue with the rest of this series.
I have a tonne of songs in my #Apple Music library, but it feels like it's only shuffling the same hundred or so tracks. #Spotify felt way better in this regard. Is it just me?
We're in the process of getting a new roof put on the house, so the entire thing is covered in scaffolding, which the kids love playing on despite our many warnings.
Yesterday, our oldest asked us if he can have some scaffolding for his birthday. 😂
Dammit. The first piece of spam has made it through the (rudimentary) spam filtering on my Guestbook. First time in around 18 months though, so I'll take that.
I've been off for nearly 2 weeks now, and a combination of a sprained ankle and being super busy has resulted in zero miles on either of my motorbikes, despite the weather being lovely.
How bloody annoying! 🏍️
I've been trying Zen Browser for a couple days, but I can't get used to it. It's just too much of a digression from the browser paradigm I'm so used to with Firefox.
I suppose I'm just an old curmudgeon. 👴🏻
Will keep it installed though.
The Shed on the Drive 🛖
We have a brick shed on the drive that we've made into a playroom for the kids. Problem is, I use it more than them! 😂
💭 What Others Said...
I've been reading a lot about blog interactions, community echos, and manual Webmentions recently. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon and roll my own.
Today is gonna be another Tissot Seastar day, I think.
Something tells me that the Selten Salvage Bronze is gonna have some competition for being the most worn watch in my log.
I don't know why, but the term "vibe coding" really pisses me off. I find it utterly stupid.
New Watch Day
I've been trying to be more thoughtful with my watch purchases lately, and I'm so happy I have been, as this latest addition to my collection is just stunning.
The most annoying thing about this stupid bloody sprain is no running for 6-8 weeks. I just starting to enjoy it again.
FML.
