I have observed that a number of people do not know about “internet weather”.
I’m going to research whether the big companies running the big online platforms have better access to stable servers and related technology. I have a hunch this is true but need to confirm it.
The problem with working on stuff for Micro.blog is that I’m looking at the timeline- and oops! there goes 30 minutes in the blink of an eye 😅
I wonder if there’s something to a Micro.blog community meet-up in the week leading to Jean’s Community Manager Hours. 🤔
🆕🎙⏺😬🤞
Good Omens is back on Friday; what a lovely treat! 📺
Been catching up on TV recently. That includes Werewolf By Night, which was damned good; Marvel should make more special presentations. 📺
The way people used to think about the skill involved with the 140 limit of characters is exactly how I feel about replying on Micro.blog.
I am always unhappy with myself if I go beyond a paragraph.
Two episodes into Secret Invasion. Olivia Colman is such an upgrade for Marvel. 📺
The more I use TaskPaper, the happier I become. Plain text… after all of these years, it has never once ruined my day.
It should be illegal for estate agents to describe 80Mbps as “Super-fast”.
Finally completed switching the publishing schedule for @TIL from Fantastical to TaskPaper. This makes me happy for a number of reasons, not least of all is the fact that the work continues whilst simultaneously my working environment is greatly improved.
Kudos to the brilliant indie developers who have to tolerate the terrible words of people who seem to think that an insult is constructive.

Pro tip: do not miss the last step of your stairs, fall, and damage your toes. Turns out you need those for doing basically everything!
Claire got a job offer for her dream location!
um… now we need to move again
I am “Famous internet people who I have looked up to are starting to get diagnosed with cancer” years-old.

It’s been fifteen months since Hogan became a part of the family.
Can confirm we’ll always have at least one Retriever/Labrador/Retriever-Labrador in our family from now on.
Joel’s “baby girl” in episode 8 still knocks me out. Oof. 📺
I’ve gone from being somebody who has multiple CARROT widgets on my phone to being somebody who maybe checks the weather here or there. And I feel much better for it.
The next move: get a digital radio for the kitchen, with which I will sometimes catch the weather of a morning.
We recently watched John Wick 4, Dungeons & Dragons, and Guardians of the Galaxy 3. All very good films, in different ways. 📽
Today is a very Monday day.
Updated my MB bio:
“herder of small beasts” -> “herder of beasts”
Hogan is in no way “small”.

One of the things I miss about the old social web is how much easier it was to avoid spoilers for films and television shows.
