Happy new year micro bloggers. I hope 2022 is full of joy and happiness. It’s been a difficult couple of years, let’s hope the next one is a little kinder. God bless.

Forest are unexpectedly on Sky Sports this afternoon after being one of only 2 games in the Championship not to be called off because of a Covid outbreak. Settling in to watch it with my Dad. ⚽️

Any Fastmail users out there tried this email app? It’s the first one I’ve found that uses JMAP.

Well this is my Christmas reading sorted! Enjoyed the TV show on Prime so looking forward to reading this.

Happy Christmas micro bloggers!

I wonder if there is a way to post to Micro.blog from Obsidian. 🤔

Boosted 💉

I’ve found myself watching Star Wars the last couple of days. I wanted to watch a series of films and with no streaming access to the Potters they seemed like the best bet.

Absolute fix! 🏎

I’ve been considering replacing my Kindle for a while since the screen has a few small cracks in it. Starting to look at Kobo’s since discovering they have integration with Libby which my local library uses.

Interesting the Matter has released a plugin to sync with Obsidian. Maybe I need to give it a proper try. I’ve opened the app a couple of times but I find it a bit confusing, is it a weird RSS reader or a read it later app?

Noticed that Icro is being updated again so have reinstalled it to give it another try.

Really like this new Obsidian replacement icon. Straight on to my Mac installations.

Saw Dune at the weekend. Really enjoyed it. Beautifully shot and the design of some of the items was as I imagined it. Looking forward to part 2 when it arrives.

One of my favourite tweaks in Monterey is that full screen apps can now have the menu bar showing all the time. Always missed the time in the top right when in full screen.

Eeesh, Shortcuts in Monterey is rough… I’d heard the reports but didn’t expect it to be quite as bad as it is.

End of the week. Phew. Time to relax and wind down a bit.

It’s come to my attention that Windows is recommending to display at 150% on my colleagues laptops… effectively meaning at 1920px wide screens aren’t 1920…

I’ve noticed a weird trend. I prefer reading on paper books, but when I read on my kindle I find I read more books in shorter time period.

Reviewed iOS apps for Pinboard and it seems like none of them are developed anymore. Scrapping the plan to use Pinboard.

Logged into my Pinboard account again and set it up with Hook on my Mac. Need to spend some time tidying up the load of bookmarks in there that I never really paid attention too.

Nice day out in Bristol. Tried a new coffee place that made coffee that tasted as good as the espresso bar looked.

I made soup for lunch. Forgot to buy parsley to go in it… still tasted good.

It’s a dark mode kind of morning.

Instead of writing I made some design changes to my blog, because why write when you can tinker…
