Note #20096

Time is an illusion. School drop-off time doubly so. #towelday

“Walking” the dog

Brought Demmy out on the school run for her first “walk”, this morning.

Note #19862

I know what it means, but my inner child still sniggers every time I see Animista‘s effect “kenburns-bottom“.

Note #19832

Every time I log in to HackerOne my brain pronounces it to rhyme with “pepperoni”. That’s normal, right?

Note #19786

@robertalanwatts thanks for your Gandi Catch-All Email Forwarding Workaround (https://robsblog.robertwatts.com/2020/02/25/gandi-catchall-email-address-work-around/); very helpful!

The comprehensive @id3 v2 system for #MP3 metadata doesn’t seem to have an “explicit content” flag. I’m using an experimental XRAT frame (with a ‘1’ or ‘0’) for now, but I wonder if anyone’s already “solved” this in a better way?

Note #19700

How did it take me years of working-from-home before I thought to install one of these in my desk? Brilliant.

Note for Future Dan: if you want Firefox’s picture-in-picture (popout video) mode to be available for videos of less than 45 seconds, the setting you need is media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.min-video-secs. This is useful if you’ve got a playlist of multiple short clips (which reuse the same <video> element) that you want to treat as a single long video for the purpose of picture-in-picture.

Note #19590

Called @Tesco Abingdon for a #flujab but fell down a black hole in their menu system. Had to choose the “continue to hold” option several times… and then nobody answered anyway…

Note #19581

Today is “superhero day” for nursery/reception, so I continued my effort to straddle the line between being a fun #parent and an embarassing parent line by dropping the kids off like this:

Note #19569

Well that’s got to be the second-most-overengineered #geocache I’ve ever hidden. #geocaching

Note #20833

My @FreshRSS installation is the first, last, and sometimes only place I go on the Internet. When a site doesn’t have a feed but I wish it did, I add one using middleware (e.g. danq.me/far-side-rss).

Here’s to the next 20 years of my #RSS addiction.

Note #19508

When do I #blog? A breakdown of my top four #indieweb content types – articles, reposts, checkins and notes – by month.

Unsurprisingly my checkins, which represent #geocaching/#geohashing activity, grow in the spring and peak in the summer when the weather’s better!

At first I assumed the notes peak in November might have been thrown off by a single conference, e.g. musetech, but it turns out I’ve just done more note-friendly things in Novembers, like Challenge Robin II and my Cape Town meetup, which are enough to throw the numbers off.

Note #19021

I made a graph to show how the number of large hand tools stored in our garage has changed this last year…

…but I forgot to label the axes.

Note #18760

Ahead of schedule on work project. Invited to 2nd COVID jab next week. Spent half of day working on laptop in sunny garden. Parcel arrived from @LEGO_group with Everyone Is Awesome model (pictured).

Today was a Good Day.
