I wonder how long it will take FastMail to get back to me about their apparent union busting. Granted, it’s unlikely they can say anything to stop me moving once I find a new host I like.

It gives me great pleasure to discover that there is a cricket umpire in Cyprus called Windy Miller!

Losing I can live with, but that was an embarrassingly awful batting display by Ireland. Canada deserved their win.

I _think_ things are working. Let’s try another one.

Please also ignore this further follow-up experiment.

Pay no attention as I experiment with something.

The honesty of “Blockchain Ireland” on their Use Cases page (blockchainireland.ie/blockchai) is something we could do with more of. 😇 (deeden.co.uk/notes/2024/03/28/)

Ireland 17 for 3 chasing 111 to win a first Men’s Test match. I don’t need this level of stress from them, I already have Mayo football working full-time to raise and then dash my hopes. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2024/03/01/)

My expectations for 2024 did not include absolutely loving an ambient/drone album released by Vince Clarke (of Erasure/Depeche Mode/Yazoo fame). “Songs of Silence” is so good, and great to write code to. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2024/02/07/)

I tend to lean towards Quill (quill.p3k.io/) as a client. If you’re planning to play with Micropub do make use of the excellent “Micropub Rocks!” site (micropub.rocks/). I found it a great help when working on my server. (deeden.co.uk/replies/2023/09/1)

After deleting all of my posts from Twitter I’ve also updated my site to remove the associated syndication links. That site is now dead to me. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2023/09/14/)

I wrote a thing. A bit deeper than normal but hey ho, those the punches I guess. swm.cc/articles/losing-momentu

Playing with SwiftUI over the last while has resulted in me looking at announcements and thinking things like “I must watch that video on Swift Data” later. It’s a slippery slope. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2023/06/06/)

Hours of debugging, many lines printed to the console, and 1 infinite loop finally leads me to the solution to the bug I was seeing. The end result? A single changed line and React is suddenly happy. Isn’t Javascript fun! (deeden.co.uk/notes/2023/05/16/)

I’ve made the mistake of mentioning to Michèle the idea of a Penguins of Madagascar and Judge Dredd crossover, and she now desperately wants to see “Penguins of MegaCity One”. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2023/01/27/)

I finally saw Charlize Theron wading through her golden pool, so that means we’re officially in the period. I’m kind of relieved, I was getting worried that she was missing. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2022/12/02/)

Not often you think the words “Thanks Gianni Infantino”, but this morning he’s managed to kill off any thoughts I’d been having about watching some of the after all. No, I was right in wanting nothing to do with it. (deeden.co.uk/notes/2022/11/19/)
