Proudly ruining the web since 2013.
Wife: Your 40th birthday is coming up, what do you want for it?
Me: A watch!
Her: Really?! You have loads of them!
Me: So?
There's one I've been saving for her to get me as a gift. To say that I'm now excited is an understatement. Not gonna say what it is yet, but I cannot wait to get it on my wrist.
Also bought another watch last night. I think this means I need to probably sell a couple again...
My wife and I “upgraded” to our fancy-pants new memory foam mattress this weekend, but neither of us are sleeping well. I hope it gets better as we get used to it. 😳
My kids (well, let’s be honest, my wife) know I’m a greedy bastard and got me this for #FathersDay.
I think I win Father’s Day, right?
(and yes, some of the donuts are gone already 😂)
Been after a petrol strimmer for a while, but didn’t want to pay a stupid amount for one.
Found a non-running one for free locally. Wasn’t running because of perished fuel lines. £6 in parts and the thing is now running great. 😂
I just logged into #LinkedIn (something I do very rarely) and this is what I was greeted with. Like, seriously, how the fuck is this even usable? Maybe it's time to delete my account...
Apologies if you subscribe to my Watch Log feed. I just pushed a change to it that fixed a small problem, but that problem was with the guids, so feed readers think everything in it is new.
Sorry again. 🙃
I saw this post from Dave Rupert asking what makes people happy. I answered it quickly, but figured it would be good to share more.
I've been thinking about the future of this site recently, and I wanted to pen down some of the thoughts that have been rattling around my grey matter.
I watched the #WWDC24 event from Apple last night. Here’s my thoughts on some of the announcements.
Me: This year, I'm gonna get that field looking like a bloody lawn, and I'm gonna cut paths into the other field like a big maze.
Wife: You're a dreamer, Quirk! The grass is far too long for you to cut paths and you're never going to get a FIELD looking like a LAWN.
Me: Hold my beer...
I haven't done a FatBoy update in a little while, so I decided to do a double-whammy and talk about how I've been getting on, along with my new little home gym.
Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Oracle Free Tier…does all this “free” hosting make anyone else uneasy? No? Just me then? 🫣
I'm so ready for the weekend. One more meeting to go...
Oooooo new watch day! I'm not into Manga, like at all, but when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. It's such a cool and interesting watch. It almost looks fake.
That feeling when you visit Robin Rendle's website and you're like "urgh, this is such a cool site. I wish I'd thought of that..." 😂
The design of it is just 👌🏻
You know what? The internet can be really fucking cool sometimes.
Chat with someone for two minutes, and try to figure out if it was a fellow human or an AI bot. Think you can tell the difference?
I recently wrote about adding a watch wearing log to this site. I've been working away on improving it, and I think it's pretty great.
One of our younger chickens has recently started laying. I think she's a Star Wars fan? 🐔
