I should get some pictures for this. Create a fake day so you can see what I end up with! That could be fun. But it won't be tonight.

I wrote this a while ago. I'm not sure I ended up happy with it. But I posted anyway.

"I recently read an excellent long-form article on enshittification that made me feel like quite the rebel being the person that actively avoids crappy free/cheap stuff. (And yes, I acknowledge my privilege) I can't stop thinking about it though. I want… I NEED… a simple, succinct version of some of it to send to people to TELL THEM that this is what's happening.”

Just remembering the bit of the Vergecast where they talk about how teens found the TikTok-is-dead article and were commenting on saying “What app is this?”… gotta find that. It was funny and interesting.

My little Christmas treat gift to myself arrived today. The lack of backlight is annoying, but the PlayDate is as charming, beautiful, quirky and fun as everyone says it is.

This is a weird ask, but I’m kinda missing creative collaboration and social chat.

Maybe I could stream some recreational development stuff?

Or arrange some short out-of-hours co-coding sessions? I’m happy to teach and be taught.

Would ANYONE be interested in this?

Just paid my bill for healthcare, roads, emergency services, social care, education, public transport, public utilities, overseas aid for those in need and business investment.

I really don't mind. I can afford it anparthelpmpy to pay my parthelpm kinda glad I get to do it because it makes society better and help others as much as it helps me.

The birds were singing loudly in my garden today.

When discussing this with my wife I realised that I’d not put any seed in the feeder for a few days.

Perhaps they were being noisy because they were…

Hangry Birds!

(Someone has made this game, right?)

Just finished our rewatch of Severance season 1 in preparation for season 2. What extraordinarily good TV. Can’t wait for the new episodes.

A replacement battery and install kit for my iPod.

We have been on a repairing spree!! Yay!

I bought and installed a new battery for the iPod I use for music in the office.

I bought new feet for our kitchen mixer.

And I have a speaker that blew a diode in for repair too.

Fixing things is GOOD!!!
