Ability to sync bookmarks and microblogs is a step towards where I want to be with my online presence. Really enjoying hacking on this stuff.

I've pretty much given up on instant coffee now. Took a long time but I'm pretty much exclusively black filter now.
Not sure what this says about me!

I feel like such a nerd.
I LOVED raindrop.io when I tried it yesterday. So I made a copy of my sync-pinboard #WordPress plugin that works for Raindrop.

And I also made a copy that will sync Mastodon posts from an RSS feed into a WordPress custom post type.

Neither of these will end up on the repo. But feel free to use, fork, etc.
All part of making my own "digital garden"!

I hate doing this (do I?) but this is another test post.
Epic primary school homework! By far the best way to work out the answer to “12 divided by 4”. https://rosswintle.uk/2017/07/epic-primary-school-homework/
My own code is never perfect; sometimes awful; always opinionated; carries baggage from my professional past; always evolving and changing. Can coders just agree that we’re all different and all learning. And that that’s ok. And they we’re people, and that people deserve respect?
I don’t always agree with other coders. And that’s OK. But boy I’m grateful for people who make software & tools that power my life & work.
Things I saw in the wild for the first time today: 1) A Tesla car 2) Someone trying (and failing) to buy fork handles.
Funny how, for many of us, “disconnected” and “analogue” are now “treats”. Connected, digital is default.
Inspired by Rob Bell talking of our need for more “boredom” and my beautiful Birthday pen. Think I’ll be writing more.

It’s 7:30. She’s been up for about 3.5 hours. So, naturally, she’s figuring out how to play Junior Scrabble

Voted! #thankyoutoday for our messy, imperfect, but beautiful democracy.
Design critiquing and grammar checking election leaflets. It’s not the point. But I can’t help thinking that if you can’t proof read…?
Why are sleeping and eating – two basic and vital human functions – the two most difficult things to get young children to do?!
Home from holiday! After:
Up a 5:15am
Pack car to leave caravan by ten.
A day at Monkey World.
A three hour non-stop (almost) drive home.
What a great week though. Love Dorset!! Great weather. Feeling blessed too.

Is it me or are household garden strimmers one of the worst executed good ideas? Or am I just using it all wrong? The line is forever breaking. Surely someone has solved this problem?!
Ada joins the crew… first short ride today. Hope this is the beginning of many, many bike rides and the start of her journey to independent travel. Isaac (5) is SUCH a confident cyclist. We hope Ada will be the same.
