Microposts
Having a real crises of blogging at the moment. Backed myself into a corner by using Jekyll on my long blog so considering moving away from that. Thinking about using Micro.blog all in, but for link sharing I want tagsโฆ
This week has been a battle. All Iโve wanted to do is sit on the sofa and read, maybe with a bit of writing as well. Itโs a feeling Iโve never experienced before, but despite that I managed to push on and remain productive for work.

Tried using Obsidian to manage my work tasks for a tighter integration of their associated notes. A worth while experiment but Iโm moving tasks back to Things with Hook based links instead.
Finished reading: The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien ๐

WhatsApp now works with the Focus mode feature of Apple devices. Time to give it a proper go since I can now let messages through from particular people who donโt use iMessage.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. We must never forget what happened to over 6 million Jews, and we must never let it happen again. With antisemitism on the rise, especially in Europe, itโs just as important to remember now as it has ever been. ๐ฎ๐ฑ

Anyone remember Yojimbo? Didn’t realise it was still being updated although it looks a bit long in the tooth now.

Brainโs a bit slow this morning.
In trying to reduce the number of subscriptions I’m paying for I tried to go back to using the built in calendars instead of Fantastical. This morning my Mac was refusing to connect to my work calendar but Fantastical was fine. Guess I’m keeping that subscription for now.

What a win for Forest today. Nothing like beating your local rivals! ๐ฅณ๐ฅณโฝ๏ธ

Had the day off today. Nice to go have some coffee and food in Birmingham for a change of scene. Excellent Greek place for lunch which was a bit of a pick and hope. Turned out well.

Dinner out tonight. Ramen with some sashimi on the side. Full to bursting now. ๐ ๐ฃ
Last year I moved my blog to Jekyll, but Iโm considering moving โbackโ to WordPress in the form of ClassicPress. Anyone got any experience with using ClassicPress with the likes of Ulysses?
Twitter tells me Iโve been a member for 15 years today. Sheesh. That also means Iโve been blogging for a similar amount of time, my guess is 16 or 17 years.
No you sat waiting for a file to publish without realising you hadnโt clicked ok. Thought it was taking a long time ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
I wrote something about depression. Any day can be Blue Monday

Sometimes it just clicks but I was fortunate with my first guess.

Reviewing some of my subscriptions that are up for renewal soon. Decided to have a look at the built in calendar app on macOS. Didnโt realise it had support for conference calls built in now, might be able to drop Fantastical now.
At the end of a long week an hour on the sofa reading The Return of the King was exactly what I needed. ๐

I got a yellow HomePod mini for Christmas, it arrived yesterday, and Iโm finding it really hard to resist making shortcuts to use with it when I should be working.

I really dislike the way businesses refer to people as resources. Four meetings today and everyone has said we need more resources to do something. They are people. You need more people to do it.

Discovered that iA Writer has the ability to publish to Micro.blog. Time to give it another go I think, itโs always been a nice writing experience and it also works with Hook according to the Hook documentation.

Thanks to Hook I’m finding myself looking at notes apps that play nicely with it. Obsidian is halfway there but Craft seems to be the most compatible.
My right AirPod seems to be dying. It struggles to connect and then when it does loses it’s connection, anyone else experienced this?
Bought a bird feeder to stick on a window in my flat. I hope it doesnโt take too long to attract some birds.
Ordered one the new Chipolo Card Spots. I’ve wanted Apple to release an AirTag like this, but I don’t think it’s going to happen since they made a wallet with it built in. This will do for me.
Followed the film with a couple of cocktails. Not normally my drink of choice but they were fun.
Went to see the new Matrix film last night. Enjoyed it ok the whole, but it was a bit of a weird one. Very obsessed with referencing the earlier films. ๐ฟ
