Proudly ruining the web since 2013.
Mentioned recently that my iPad was on its last legs after nearly 6 years of faithful service. So started thinking about a replacement. I only use it for reading RSS and some YouTube before bed. Instead of looking for a replacement, I just decided to stop watching YT before bed, and read RSS on my phone. 🤷♂️
Now I pick-up my Kindle instead, which is far better than watching crap on YT.
Out of office is on, work phone is switched off, and that's me for 2024! Merry Christmas, all! 🎉
Well this doesn't look good. 🫣
I hope to find the time, energy, and money to reopen all of this sometime in the new year.
"Sometime in the new year" doesn't sound like a holiday break to me.
You know what would be great? If websites stopped embedding links from fucking #Twitter.
Because, you know, the billions of people on this earth that don't have Twitter accounts can't see the post...
Nah, I think you're good thanks, Alex.
I recently had a great email exchange with Herman Martinus of BearBlog fame and wanted to talk about that a little bit more.
Yes, you read that right, folks. I've decided to flip myself back to team Apple and have ditched my new Pixel 8.
So after 2 weeks with the Pixel 8, I'm back in my iPhone 13 Mini - the Pixel is getting returned today. I'll write something about it all soon. Probably.
I've tried Nextcloud a few times over the years, but every time I do, I end up coming away thinking it's shit. Here's why...
So my iPad is like 6 years old at this point and it's really starting to creek. I only use it for some YouTube and reading before bed, so don't need anything fancy.
I'd love an iPad Mini, but no chance of me paying that much! Thinking maybe an Amazon Fire tablet. Any other recommendations?
I have man flu. It's been nice knowing you all. ☠️
Tried #Nextcloud last night to see if it's improved any. Was hoping to use it for notes. Anyway, it's still shit. :(
Here's a quick and simple way of adding an RSS feed to your Kirby based blog without using plugins.
We're good, I managed to find a builders bag full of off cuts from the various DIY projects I've done this year.
Kept them for a rainy day. Good thinking, past Kev. Dog is clearly happy. 👍🏻
A storm has hit today so it's wet and windy AF. So much so that the wind is forcing the rain into the cracks in our chimney and forcing it inside. 🫣
We decided to light fire to A) dry it out, and B) keep us warm. But we realised we don't have enough wood (FFS!)
So I've had to do a panic run to the barn to chop enough wood to see us through.
First world problems, eh!
Manu writes about his opinions on Substack vs blogging and owning your content. I heartily agree!
The 2nd book in Banks' culture series. I enjoyed this book, but found it quite predictable.
Hot take on my first few hours back on #Android
It's REALLY polished now
The keyboard is 1000% better than iOS
Apps are better than they used to be
Happy so far. 👍🏻
A few days ago I wrote about how I was thinking about a switch to the Farephone 5. I've now made a decision and ordered a new phone, but it's not the Fairphone.
After LOTS of research I ordered the #Fairphone5, then bottled it 10 mins later and cancelled the order. 😂
