I take back pretty much everything I said in this post. I've bought a #SnowskyEcho just to see, loaded my old music on it, and it's pure joy! Discovering so much music that I haven't played for years.
Notes have their own RSS feed. You can subscribe to it here.
And this is why the plugin ecosystem for #WordPress is simultaneously it's strongest power, and biggest security concern.

So we've had a land drain installed along with a concrete pad for the animals. While the concrete was wet, our old dog (13yo) snuck up there and decided to immortalise herself. Can't say I'm unhappy about it. What a wonderful little memory that will be in the future.
I have to wear glasses for reading, screens etc. (long-sighted with astigmatism). Anyway, I'm finding I'm wearing them for more and more things as it's just comfier. I may have to just admit defeat and wear them all the time...
I've had a week or so to bed in with the new design of my blog and I don't think I like it. I think I'm going to start working on a redesign/reversal again. 🤣
A few people have asked about titleless posts in #PureBlog, so here's a guide I wrote on how to do it:
Lots of people gushing over the new #Macbook #Neo. I get it, it looks like a cool laptop for a good price. However, the fact remains that it's Apple silicon, so it will be a paperweight after a few years.
I keep having problems with #Zoho Mail timing out when moving an email I'm sending to the sent items box. Is anyone else having this problem?
Tried in Thunderbird and Evolution, and the problem remains. So I think it's a Zoho issue.
I've updated the #Motorbikes page on my site to reflect the changes - new Triumph Speed Triple in the garage, and the little Royal Enfield has gone to its new home this morning.
Bittersweet as it's a great bike; I just wasn't riding it.
I didn't like the low down exhaust on the new bike, so I fixed it. Can see that beautiful rear wheel now too! 👌🏻
Confession: I was in my early 30s before I realised it was "cold calling" or "cold emailing" instead of "code calling/emailing".
You know, because a piece of code automated the process. 🤣
Yesterday was new bike day. I love new bike day! 🏍️
FFS. Do I need to find a new email client as well as a browser now too?
🤦🏼♂️ #Thunderbird #Mozilla
Couple frustrations that I need to work through with #Vivaldi:
When I switch Gnome (Ubuntu) to dark mode in the evening, Vivaldi doesn't switch to a dark theme. Firefox does, so I'd assume this is a Vivaldi issue. 🤷🏻♂️
Some settings aren't synced between devices. Such as search engine choice, what the address bar displays when typing etc. This should be a one off thing as I get setup, but it's frustrating none the less, and things I'll need to re-do every time I get a new device.
I read this post about #Vivaldi business model, quickly realised they're the good guys, switched, and donated. There's some wonkiness compared to #Firefox, but I'll make it work.
I just had the #LiquidGlass update forced upon my corporate iPhone and it's every bit as shit as everyone says. It's awful!
TF is this, #Synology? Always "fun" when a random app is added to my device without my knowledge.
UNINSTALL
Day 4 of having Flu. While having skin that's sore to the touch is just a barrel of laughs, the best part of the whole thing is:
Jacket on: Surface of the sun
Jacket off: Naked Eskimo
Was thinking about doing one of those year in review posts, but 2025 has been the worst year of my life, and I really don't want to put everyone on a downer. I'll save you all from that.
You know what's really shit? Having the flu while you're on vacation from work...
