After LOTS of research I ordered the #Fairphone5, then bottled it 10 mins later and cancelled the order. 😂
I’ve Been Thinking About a Switch to the Fairphone 5
I've recently been thinking about a switch to the Fairphone 5, but after some research, I'm not sure it's worth it?
A Royal Fishy Fuck Up
I recently added 5 new fish to my cichlid aquarium, but I managed to make a royal fuck up along the way.
AMA - Do I See a Future for the Federated Web
In this AMA post, Nigel asks me about the about the federated web and whether I think there's a future for it. It's an interesting question as I'm heavily involved in the federated web by running this blog, as well as Fosstodon and 500.Social.
Hmmm I might have to re-think #Vivaldi on my iPhone as it's destroying my battery. Anyone else seen this?
So I bought a new watch for an absolute steal on eBay recently. This morning I received a message from the seller saying "very sorry, the watch is now damaged".
I call bullshit. I think they realised how cheap they let it go for so are backing out now.
I fucking hate eBay.
I just text my mum asking her what she and my step dad want for Christmas. Here's her reply. 😂
[Picking kids up from school...]
Me: So what did you do today boys?
Youngest: I wrote about black heroes.
Me: Oh, that's cool. Who did you write about?
Oldest: Was it Batman?
🤦♂️🤣
He wrote about Nelson Mandela, for those who are interested.
A Nun Answers Questions
I watched this video last night and I was utterly enthralled throughout the entire thing. In this video, a nun answers random questions all about her life, religion and a all kinds of other stuff.
Lonesome Crown
The final book in The Five Warrior Angels trilogy. It's another long book, but I enjoyed it a lot.
Repairing My Sony Ear Buds
A couple days ago I wrote about how my Sony ear buds were dead and how I was on the hunt for a replacement pair. I ended up replacing the batteries instead, but did it work?
My wife is now searching "can chickens go out in deep snow". I assume she fears they're going to spontaneously freeze as soon as they step outside of their coop.
... they're little dinosaurs, I think they'll be fine!
Certain parts of the UK have had some snow. We've had about 4", apparently up by the kids school has had a foot.
This obviously means that the UK has gone full Mad Max and everything is closed.
I've been playing with #Vivaldi the last few days - now I'm getting to grips with it, I'm pretty impressed. I think this might stick for me and replace #Firefox.
My Sony Ear Buds Are Dead
Two and a half years ago, almost to the day, I bought my Sony WF-1000XM4 ear buds, but now they won't hold a charge, so I'm on the hunt for new ones.
AMA - How Do I Cope With Everything
This is the second AMA post I've written. I'm currently sat on a flight to Florida, so I'm wading through these to help quell the boredom.
I'm getting sick of hearing everyone's hot take on Bluesky, just like I got sick of hearing everyone's hot take on Mastodon a couple years ago.
😴
Watched the Tyson vs Paul fight this morning. Utter shite. Tyson shouldn't be fighting at his age, and it showed.
I suppose he was a paid a shit tonne of money though, so that's something. 🤷🏼♂️
AMA - Do I Have Faith In Humanity
I recently mentioned on Mastodon that I decided to take part in the AMA challenge that's doing the rounds, this first question comes from Brandon.
Last day in Florida today. It's been a long week and I'm looking forward to getting home.
But don't worry, America, I'll be in New York in January. 😏
