“I just need to put two boxes side-by-side and I hear flexbox is good at stuff like that.”
“Explore the hidden risks of “sharenting” on this episode of the Reset podcast.”
Nowadays I make a conscious effort to obscure the faces of my kids if I’m taking a picture for social media. I wasn’t always so careful, but the the youngest two have grown enough since I instituted this policy (a few years, starting at an early age) to protect them at least a bit from facial recognition.
Similarly I never use their real names unless it’s a message/post with a controlled audience.
If this works, I’ve just created a micropub photo blogging iOS shortcut 🎉
“For more than a decade, Britons have relied on Mysociety’s Theyworkforyou to find out who represents them in Parliament (as well as the regional assemblies), find out what those people are do…”
“The Markdown-based note-taking app that doesn’t suck.”
“Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular web browsers around, and for good
reason. It’s fast, secure, open-source, and it’s backed by an organization that
actually respects your privacy. Unlike many other Chrome alternatives and forks,
it has a massive development team behind it that publishes new updates on a
constant, regular basis. Regular updates doesn’t only mean shiny new features,
it means you’ll also receive security updates that will keep you protected as
you browse the web.”
“Monday night’s protest will see workers demand longer break times and a free commute at a Staten Island fulfillment center with a record of injuries three times the national average.”
“I’ve recently been going down a rabbit hole of making improvements to my CanIUse embed. To give a bit of a background, it is an interactive embed I created to easily embed data from caniuse.com in my blog posts and anywhere else. I previously wrote about how I first”
“Every vote counts in one way or another, even if you live in a safe seat – here’s why.”
“A few months ago, I got a wild hair up my butt and was seriously considering building a set of armies for a war game based on the Thirty Years War. I knew I wanted big blocks of pikes, at least 18 units per side, and I wanted to do the whole thing in 28mm. After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion:
I WAS BONKERS.”
“So will you all please move to IPv6? World: Nope.”
I went to bed early last night because I was tired. The only problem is that I woke up at 4am instead of 6am, nullifying any benefits. It’s now just after 6:30am, and I’m kinda just twiddling my thumbs doing random things, waiting for it to be late enough I can leave for work without arriving so early the building isn’t open…

“If you’ve browsed your Twitter or Facebook page feeds in the last week, you have probably noticed that we changed the presentation of the posts, so they are more coherent with how a microblog post should look like.
Initially, Inoreader started as a pure RSS reader and titles are an essential part …”
This is a nice little change, that will hopefully make some of my subscriptions that little bit nicer to read.
Maybe a future “next step” could be detecting the various IndieWeb post kinds, and formatting appropriately? 😉
I’m on my own for the rest of the week, until some time on Saturday. I’m trying to figure out how I want to spend my “free” evenings… I could either get stuck into some miniature painting projects, or I could work on the WordPress theme I’ve had going on in the background for a while now. I think I only have a few elements to style before it reaches “minimum viable” status for this site, and after that I can fix it up for others to use. Possibly “live,” as it were.
On the other hand, my head isn’t in the right place for either of these options at the moment, so like this evening I end up stuck in the middle doing nothing.
I figured it out. I made a substantial typo when I updated my weight this morning, so all the calculations were completely thrown out. So not the Watch’s fault in the slightest. I did say I was having a tough day. I’ll go for an extra walk after work; that should help clear my head, and get me to my goal.
I went for a walk at lunchtime. 3.29KM, including two long uphill segments. Somehow my Apple Watch only counted me as burning 34 calories, when the exact same walk on Friday was worth 275. I wonder if it’s a bug triggered by me setting a new Move Goal this morning? Either way, I’ll be pissed if this causes me to break my 56-day perfect activity streak 😒
I’m really tired today, after not getting a full night’s sleep all weekend. It means my thoughts are quite scattered, and I’m struggling to focus. Not the best when I have an urgent backlog of code reviews to complete by tomorrow 😐
I’ll be glad when it’s after the US Thanksgiving and Black Friday, as it means the web and tech new sites will go back to posting content that isn’t about “the best Black Friday deals on X”…
I’m honestly surprised no one is selling a “smart” Christmas tree yet, with integrated controllable lighting, a built in assistant and speaker for playing festive music on demand.
