My pals cooking us curry tonight, home made naan too. I can’t wait!

Went to an emo night at the club yesterday, it was brilliant!

Played squash for the first time in ages, I’m knackered!

I've adjusted my page to match my main website. @[email protected] you've done it again!

Back home from 4 days working in Sweden, it was nice to see the team but I’m happy to be home with my family again

I made a parser for #GS1, #ANSI, #Odette barcodes.

Finally got around to moving Mastodon. It went very smoothly. Rclone made it sooo smooth being able to sync the S3 and local file systems.

Stalwart was very easy to move.

Only a couple of services to go!

I’ve been slowly migrating services from Oracle to Hetzner. Mastodon is one of my next tasks.

First an S3 sync, then I’ll configure new media to the new bucket, then hopefully I can proxy Traefik from one server to the other and have a zero-downtime move?

Code code code. So busy building the new product last week. Hope to have a better week now folks are back from holiday!

I've been running Stalwart for a few weeks now. Slowly trying to build that IP rep. So far so good.

Installed a new Unifi Router at home. Integrates better with the access points I'm using. I like it!

Just tried removing the CSS from my site in preparation for #CSS_Naked_Day, it was just a bunch of ginormous SVGs. I think I'll skip participating this year.

Just watched #Dune2 and it was amazing. Such an epic movie.

Travelling to Germany for work again soon. Looking forward to seeing the team face to face again for the first time in a few years.

I've got that usual mild panic before my wife's birthday. I'm never sure what to get her!

App Defaults!

Looking at my website again - maybe some tweaks are due.

I've been learning a little about #CouchDB this evening.

Loving

I have the EV charger being installed tomorrow, no more running a cable through the window all day and night!

I just received an email from Virgin Media, they’re performing maintenance on their email system. I haven’t been a customer for years, and the email was sent a blueyonder address I never knew I had!

Took delivery of my Model Y this morning, I'm proper chuffed.

Watched the hilarious Daniel Kitson at the Metronome in Nottingham this evening, I recommend you check out his future dates!

The lightning passing over our house tripped the electric, turning on every hue bulb in the house, waking my wife at 3am.

Looking forward to #FPV #Drone #Fest this year!

I now have 3 #drones, I'm addicted. I love it. Another friend of mine got his first 5" freestyle this week too, so even more people to fly with!

Relaxing

Built a drone Friday. Smashed it Saturday.

Spent some time at a #bando today, flying #drones with friends!

Actually loving Lizzo in #BeatSaber!

Nearly the weekend!

My wife’s birthday today!

Built a slider to change the colour scheme on my #personalsite. Super happy with how it turned out!

Watching Warrior Nun

Added some custom CSS to my mastodon instance () to match my #personalsite and #omg.lol status page

Added a whole chunk of CSS to my status log

My sister is here with my niece and nephew, we’re having fajitas tonight!

Sooo, I think I have status.lol posting to Mastodon, then my pulls the status from , favourites and all. Also - my is looking complete.

Still tweaking my personal site - I just can't help myself.

Spent a few hours playing Forza Horizon 5. It’s been a while since I’ve sat down at the Xbox for a bit. I should make more time like this

Attended a quiz night at the local lounge this evening, such fun!

Spent the evening at mum's, showing her my wedding album.
