This evening I did the washing up while listening to podcasts at 1.5x speed.
Can someone find a way for me do the opposite: wash up at 1.5x speed while listening to podcasts?

Yay! Successful, DIY iPhone battery replacement! Not without complication, but all is well.

Front end dev tooling is a MESS!
Bower is not really a thing any more, so Bootstrap 4 has removed it as a means of distribution. So if you update a framework that used Bower to include Bootstrap 4-beta to use Bootstrap 4.0.0 instead it all breaks!
Thanks everyone!!

Yesterday was my 10th Twitter Birthday! Ten years I’ve been on that thing. Yes, it has its bad bits, but it’s been a source of learning, friendship, opportunity, fun and, occasionally news.

Have you seen my stationary scissors? They seem to have moved!

How have I not seen “Up Goer 5” before? A Saturn 5 rocket labelled with only the ten hundred most frequently used English words. Amazing. https://xkcd.com/1133/

Great thing about having an actual blog: posts from ten years ago still turn up in long-tail search results and get commented on. It’s amazing!

I should add that I was very grateful to have my kids babysat so we could have some time out at the flicks. It was fun and very enjoyable and relaxing!

Not been to the cinema for a while. Gosh, it’s just one long series of dark patterns designed to make you spend money on anything but watching a film. Surprised the toilets were free tbh.

Product idea: an app that crowdsources the ACTUAL start time of movies at the cinema.
(Business model: cinemas pay you to not publish the times for THEIR cinema)

I have seen “The Last Jedi”. I think, overall, it was a bit too random. Or maybe there was a ton of stuff that I just didn’t get.

As Facebook lowers reach of un-paid page posts, Facebook actually becomes LESS relevant for me. Seriously wouldn’t miss it right now. Enjoying the micro.blog and blogging community again.

Product idea: hirsute-friendly event admission wristbands.

Oh, and RESULT! Today I modified a webpack config, and I actually almost knew what I was doing! And I made it do something useful! ???

So…more on WordPress Gutenberg I’m afraid. Where I’m at with it as a developer and business owner:

I’m supposed to be doing my tax return, but I’m coping and pasting content into a blog post instead.

This sums up my feelings on “Investing” in BitCoin
“Investing means buying an asset that actually creates products and services and cashflow for an extended period of time.”
I want to use my money to create value

There’s really not much else you can do. Clever people are working to fix this. You’ll need to trust the experts and just run the updates when they come out!

So until you buy your next “car”, there’s not much you can do to fix the source of the problem. The usual good-security rules apply:
– Keep software/apps up to date
– Don’t install apps/programs from places you don’t trust
– Avoid dodgy websites
– careful what you click in emails

I’m resident tech person for many, so…about these processor issues you’re seeing in the news: These are issues with your “hardware”. It’s like having a design flaw in the engine of your car that causes it to leak oil. The real fix is to buy a new car (or replace the engine).
