rpi

I think I've had most, if not all, revisions of the RaspberryPi since it first launched. They all live in drawers somewhere.

Trash

I can't tell you how often I drive Tabitha to school, see some beautiful light or something, and it's gone by the time I'm home.

2024 Albums

I haven’t done this for a while, but seeing Luke talking about scrobbling and all that made me think about my own listening habits, and before long I had my Plex sqlite database open and was trying to figure out where everything lives.

Buffalo Christmas Meal at terre à terre

I've been looking to this for so long. Don't do that.

Threatening

Trees were full of crows this morning. Tried to get a picture of them but they scarpered. Kinda works anyway.

Ornamental Cherry

I've posted a picture of this before, but I took it on a phone so it doesn't count.

Sticky toffee

Well the plan was to take a picture of the TV when watching the F1 final race, but I forgot.

Foam tips

The new tips on the Airpods are incompatible with my ear. Keep sliding out no matter what size I use.

Paraphernalia

I have a bit of a thing for paraphernalia. I don't really care snot the activity, but you can talk to me about, and show me, your paraphernalia all day.

A new project

We've been using spreadsheets to track time at work, and I've hated it the entire time.

A new record

Cleared out a new Kallax hole in anticipation of some new records. We don't have enough storage/I have too much stuff.

Après Moi

Super nice light this morning so we walked down to the beach with the dog before work.

Sicknote

I am ill today. Slept like absolute trash last night and, thankfully, I had something to put live at 7am and a tonne of email over the weekend.

November Recap

Last month felt busy, and this month has been no different. Although I actually have been super busy, especially the last couple of weeks! Earlier in the month we went to see Benson Boone at the O2. Can't say I'm a big fan of his music but it was a good evening. On the way b...

Remembering to walk

I was going to sit in the car and play Mario Kart whilst Tabitha was at badminton, until one of the other parents reminded me I like walking.

For the last month, I've been doing Vimovember (shh, yes it's a thing), and taking a look at how I use Vim and how I could change or improve. It's been super useful and interesting, and it's got me thinking about doing this with other software that I use. I'm not smart enough to come up with the prompt list though!

17

It's our 17th wedding anniversary so, naturally, we spent all day in a dark room, watching 12-year-olds play badminton.

Birb

This lens is hard to use.

We love this little cat

It's illegal to walk into a room where the cat is, without going over for a little chat and a kiss.

Frozen

There's something extremely satisfying about scraping ice off your windscreen in the morning. Unless it somehow got on the inside of the windscreen. Then it's annoying.

James Acaster at Komedia

I lucked out and got tickets to go and see James Acaster this evening. The show was a very welcome return to form.

Wave

Charlotte and I took the dog for a walk at lunch. The sea was so rough.

Florian recommended me to Hyde for his series Over/Under, which was very nice of him. I love the concept of this, and I love answering this sort of thing.


Whenever I come across someone riding a fixie, I feel a connection with them as if we are part of the same group.

Strongly agree with this. It's quite strange; I don't feel this way about anything else I do. Photography, gaming, badminton, even cycling in general don't trigger that for me, but I love seeing people ride fixed gear.

Don’t be lazy, and make your own ones.

Now I really want to do this, but I probably shouldn't.

I've been using fzf all wrong

fzf is one of those pieces of software that I've had installed for years, but I don't really use it. I know how good it is, but I just absent-mindedly used it for something so useful that I think I accidentally just made something I find extremely tedious, incredibly trivial.

Morning cuddle

Sometimes this dog is so full of love. I know he wants to be good, but he's too drawn to being annoying.

(hed) p.e. at Chalk

Charlotte and I went to see (hed) p.e., Spineshank, and Drowning Pool at Chalk. We left after Spineshank.

Cinema

I would like to propose a concept: the cinema license. It would get you into specific license-holder screenings of films.

Resident Annual Launch Party

Tonight was the Annual launch party. Was looking forward to this, for no other reason than not knowing what it was going to be!

Sweets

Charlotte got me some sweets to have after badminton. I learned it's too cold for sweets.

Ominous

Crows on what looks like a wrought iron weather vane, atop a church? That's ominous.
