• 🎡 Today is Pat Martino on repeat. musicthread.app/link/2WfH…

  • YouTube’s “no ad blockers here” bit is getting more intrusive. There’s now a delay before it can be dismissed.

    This might actually push me to pay for Premium.

  • Just spent an hour arguing (good-naturedly) about what we need to do to handle dates, times and timezones in a new feature.

    Kids, don’t grow up to write software.

  • 🎡 New GUNSHIP album today πŸŽ‰ musicthread.app/link/2W4L…

  • Finished reading: The Daughters of Izdihar by Hadeer Elsbai πŸ“š

  • Watching #guitar YouTubers with shelves of amps and pedals behind them, and racks of guitars. It all looks class, but I find myself wondering about keeping all that clear of dustβ€”they’re not all getting played every day!

  • 🎡 That Olivia Rodrigo album that came out last week πŸ‘πŸ»

  • Instagram just served me an ad for a prosthetic leg. That’s not something I’ve ever needed. Algorithms, eh?

  • 29Β°C here over the weekend. 14Β°C today. Today is much more my comfort level.

  • Finished reading: This Vicious Grace by Emily Thiede πŸ“š

    Certainly has its issues, but I enjoyed myself and am looking forward to the follow-up.

  • Finished reading: Inside Man by K. J. Parker πŸ“š

    Quite disappointing. I enjoyed Prosper’s Demon a lot, but this follow-up did nothing for me.

  • It’s 2023 and I just fixed a table cell reuse bug.

  • I get tired of following a link to something that sounds interesting and ending up with Medium complaining that I need to log in and/or upgrade my account.

    I’m all for writers earning for their work, but does it have to be bloody Medium?

  • Finished reading: Witch King by Martha Wells πŸ“š

    I’ve read a few really good books so far this year. This is definitely one of them.

  • It’s new notebook day at my desk!

    Photograph of a fountain pen sitting on a notebook page. Written on the page is today’s date and the words β€œNew notebook day”.

  • Finished reading: Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma TΓΆrzs πŸ“š

    No real surprises along the way, but compelling, comfortable and fun.

  • Falling rain heard through an open window is one of my favourite sounds. Calming and relaxing, and I’m in here while the rain is out there 😬

  • Finished reading: Dead Moon by Peter Clines πŸ“š

    Not worrying too much about the plot holes, and I was tickled by how this ties in with the rest of the Threshold books.
