We’ve watched the last two coronavirus briefings from the PM live. That’s more than enough at this point; hopefully there won’t be a pressing need to do that again in the future.

Today I am grateful for coffee.

I am looking forward to my imminent cup of coffee. ☕

Working From Home:

SSD in PS5 🤤

Gonna be extra sad using my little iPad with the Logitech keyboard.

Tip for media streamers:

Download as much stuff as you can, even if it’s for “offline mode” where you still need to use the associated app. Broadband is going to be thoroughly tested during lockdown.

Fuck this virus.

And now coronavirus has delayed the arrival of Wendy.

Fuck.

Universities are cancelling face-to-face classrooms and yet the schools are still open. 🤔🤔🤔

I wonder if, here on Micro.blog, there are people who would like to share their Spotify playlists? 🤔

I could make a @til account, save the playlists, and then link to that page as a directory of sorts. Then, maybe the page could be shared on TIL, Micro.blog, Twitter, etc. 🎶

Today I am grateful for the powers of recovery to which I owe my body more thanks than I can possibly give. Sometimes a short rest and some healthy food is all you need.

I’m looking forward to making big steps with @til and major house-tidying chores.

Close the schools, you fucking cowards.

I wonder if Micro.blog would work well as an internal blogging tool. Specifically for small groups such as local government and indie companies. 🤔

I’m starting to think that showing up once every 4-5 years to have an opinon might not be the best approach to fulfilling ones civic duty.

Not sure we can call them “Conservatives” anymore with spending like that.

Basecamp are giving away their book about remote work for free. They don’t own the publishing rights so they can’t “just” sell it for free; as such they are using refunds as a workaround to do this.

Apple fan: “It’s just easier to go with Apple defaults.”

Apple: “No, not from iCloud, you can determine this by looking at each device individually."

🙄

As I’m trying to use most websites less often (they are generally terrible, in every way), I’m finding it difficult to work out where to go for answers to certain questions.

For example: can iCloud preserve full-res photos?

This is why Twitter continues to be useful.

Pending OS updates slowing down the browser is exactly the type of thing that makes me want to use my Windows computer less often. The iPad has never done such a thing, and this is the old version of the least capable model!

Today feels like a good day for @til to return. 😎
