Dang it. Why doesn’t this thing have some end of year summary‽!

My gym is shut for refurbishment. And I never thought I’d say this but: I miss swimming!

I’m a terrible swimmer. And I had several formative experiences that put me off swimming. (Nothing dangerous.)

But I’ve been developing some technique and finding it less difficult and very “mindful”.

And I miss it.

I said I’d donate revenue from Giving Tuesday sales of Turbo Admin to my local food bank and post receipts.

Here’s the receipts!

With thanks to those who purchased that day (and every day!)

Yesterday I had never coded in Lua or built anything on the PICO-8 "fantasy console” (a little emulated retro computer).

Today I have a very basic cookie-clicker game!

Yes, the visuals are terrible. (I'm just experimenting with sprites and drawing right now). And there's no music/sound.

How many presents can you make for Santa before Christmas arrives?!

I just realised that it’s giving Tuesday.

I’ve had a lot of new customers for Turbo Admin recently. Which I’m really grateful for.

And I think of each sale as “buying my lunch”. Which is such a fortunate place to be.

Today I want sales to buy lunch for someone that needs it way more than me.

So any proceeds from sales today will be donated to my local foodbank: https://www.swindonfoodcollective.org/

Just buy at

before 6am UTC.

I’ll post receipts tomorrow for transparency.

Every topic that I would really like to post about now:

🤯🤐🙊

I now officially am “Parent of Teenager”. Being “Parent of Teenager” at teenagers birthday mostly invokes:

a) Paying for things.
b) Guarding a large pile of mobile devices!
