Just realised I’m not in the EU (from UK). There was me thinking about digging my old Garmin out!

Yep. But there are personal economic factors which allow me to consider it more seriously. I do find it less interesting than when I was in my 20s.

I’d be interested in defining my business using a DSL but then ultimately I’d want that to be translated into a UI. I’d love to simply map all the relationships between stock, assets, tools like invoicing, APIs all in a place like this. But

My dad, who passed away 2023, left a stack of over 100 VHS tapes full of 80s TV. It’s mostly music (esp. bass guitar orientated), steam trains, photography and I think this would make the perfect way to digest that content. Thanks for shari

I’m starting a company in my hometown to help the local area with electronic waste. We offer commissioned sales, repair, refurbish, and any other straightforward computer-based tasks. I’ve been leaning on my career as an infrastructure or D

I’m working on a musical project and the website alone fucking rocks. atticshapes.com I reviewed before adding comment, and I feel like changing info@ to webmaster@ now, in homage to the internet.

I think you could be right. At least, we know but choose or are too lazy to do anything about it. Recently I've found myself too stressed to even think about it. Too many stresses in life and I can do without the planet for now. Totall

It'z funny that I often compare the way things are to spots|zits. Something I do quietly to myself, in my own mind :-) Too much/little X causes outbursts of Y. The question is, has Earth got a few spots lurking behind the earlobes

I recently built a site for publishing photographs I am takin weekly. It’s all in Golang. Using Pulumi to deploy into AWS. CDN, API Gateway, Lambda, S3. I’m planning to add DynamoDB for metadata and the recently released S3 feature which al

I went there with my girlfriend about 5 years ago. We still laugh that it made us feel a bit unwell and had to leave. Would still recommend.

I get that people dawdle but simply that 6% of people use their phones whilst walking isn’t a problem. It’s an observation. What are they hoping to change and by how much?

Hey, I'm really interested in trying your app. However I am unable to sign in via iPhone SE. The small screen means I that cannot tap to sign in with email address - I prefer this over Apple/Google login. Otherwise so it looks gre

I've been making sourdough bread routinely once a week. The sixth loaf, this morning, is the best yet and I'm really happy with how my familiarity with the recipe is developing. It's almost on par with the local bakery! I hav

This is terrible news. I built a weather app with DarkSky API nearly 8 years ago and have been using it ever since. I really hope I’ll manage to find some alternative.

Cannot recommend Atomic Habits enough. Basic theory is: Don’t focus on goals. Aim for processes which are easy, repeatable and rewarding. Before you know it you’ve blown the goal out of the park. I had a job where an aspect was handling int

You’ll still be able to reference the company after you have left. I’ve always left my jobs before finding another. Providing there is a market available and adequate funds I would recommend anyone to do it. After a short period of regainin

"What should service providers do?": https://tomssl.com/2016/10/21/a-sensible-password-strategy/ This is a pretty straightforward set of expectations which should solve most issues.

I would also add that I get a little ticked off when I have to adjust my password manager's defaults - in this case reducing from 64 to 32 characters. In the past I have very-often stopped exploring a new thing at this point but this t

I particularly agree with the scripting nature of the role. I’ve played a major part at my company using many of the tools you mention to set up IaC/CICD/etc. However, day-to-day I’m in script land, which is where I want to be rea

I flicked between multiple browsers at work since the Chrome news dropped. Having used Chrome for many years. Firefox always had and still has an issue which can cause up to 2x page load times when used on Mac with scaled mode. Fascinating

I'm reading Nassim Nicholas Taleb's Antifragile at the moment. His explanation of how Switzerland operates as municipalities, with little central government intervention - except collecting taxes - is strikingly similar. In this c

Amazing achievement to have everything running so smooth. Obviously not the site for me as I have no idea how to complete chess captcha!

Shame there are no negative reviews on his apartment to cement this all together. I think I'm right in thinking that both parties must review one another before it is published. Therefore why would he ever review your negative experien

When did grey text become so fashionable? I can hardly read it on my phone. On desktop found this app to adjust contrast per-website: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/high-contrast/djcf...
