Only now that I’m changing my email host from ProtonMail that I can see how they’re… like, a bad company. The many ways in which they make it difficult to leave… and putting exporting behind a paywall? Dick move.


I am nowhere near being able to afford those super MBPs… buuuut there is an iMac going for £400 not far from here. I think I could save up for that in about a year. 👀


I’m quite happy with how v1.8 of the TIL site has ended up. Feels like the small improvements have added up over the past few updates, and the larger redesigned elements are always fun to reveal. This time around the footer got the big change:

Water hardness. These are the things that occupy your time when you move to a whole new part of the country.

Water. Hardness.


Have yet to spend time learning Hugo; evenso I enjoy working on the theme for @TIL with some HTML and CSS. I love that I can make design choices knowing that in the future I’ll be able to implement at the template level, with basic customisation then left for temporary changes.


Bokeh is dead.

Long live Glass.


Noise-cancelling is sneaky. Once you have become comfortable with the benefits of isolated sound, it can be difficult to live without it.


Today the coffee shop is not conducive to longer form writing. I tend to favour that work either when the particular piece of writing is the only thing I have to do, or if I know my location is not going to change for a long time.



Neighbour wins privacy row over smart doorbell and cameras – Jane Wakefield

The judgment reads that Dr Fairhurst was “alarmed and appalled” to notice that he had a camera mounted on his shed and that footage from it was sent to his smartphone.


I don’t care how much you hide the Likes, or how private people think they are. It won’t stop the problems.

We need to stop thinking that addiction-based design is anything other than bad.


I started wearing my analogue watch again today. I forgot just how good this feels.


The smaller – and responsive – reply box on the Micro.blog website is giving me hope that an upcoming update will include a character limit. 👀


Every task completed for the move opens up more energy and time for the things I want to do, and have been wanting to do for some time. We are genuinely able to do more of the things we’ve always spoken about doing here. So lucky. 😊


The Internet has arrived 🎉

20 years since MGS2…


Can confirm: TodayPoster works like a charm.


Number of browser tabs I’ve accidentally closed since getting my new Mac: 0

That is much less than when I was using my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. In that time the contrast between tabs wasn’t strong enough and the “snapping” UI would interfere with my movement of the cursor.


My 10-year old MBP is better than your M1 Machine Of The Future because I know which tab I’m in.

Suck it, rich nerds. 😎
