After action report: tyranids stormed it, but I killed his big scary hive tyrant.

quietly while hiding from a safe place:

I prefer JIRA to Linear

It’s Thursday night warhammer, and he seems to have an awful lot more tyranids than I have death guard.

Ah Microsoft, it’s comforting you’re still the real you under all that groovy open source stuff recently

Does anyone have like a really cool way of managing bookmarks?

An extension somewhat that links directly into browser, syncs between mobile and desktop. Is incredibly fast?

I’ve been trying to just use folders in my browser and i’m getting to the limit of what they can do. Equally all the notion/onenote/evernot/clipping extensions are all painfully slow.

Me and the boyfriend are distinctly excited for the extended daylight hours in our flat

His text reads in all caps: “Look we’re starting to get evening light in the living room”

The weirdest thing about getting back into playing a gameboy colour in 2023 is I default to playing it one handed like a phone.

Happy “Sunset is finally after 5pm” Day in London!

The final touches to my conference talks always involve at least a little bit of photoshop.

And a photoshopped cover of Age of Empires 2 with my silly face super imposed on the main leaders face.](/img/notes/5df9f8e7a88f.png)

Spending an irrational amount of time getting the fonts the right exact level of pixellated to look like Age of Empires 2 game text in keynote.

Hrm, is it coffee anxiety, speaking anxiety or anxiety anxiety?

The mystery keeps it interesting.

Weird, first conference talk(JSWORLD next week) that I’m putting mastodon handles on slides instead of twitter handles.

London people, where can I buy Crodino that isn’t amazon?

New glasses day, aka “oh my god I hadn’t realised how much worse my eyesight had gotten” day

TypeError: Some object you never heard of in code you didn’t right isn’t caught correctly.

I hate debugging errors in JS sometimes, knee deep inside a node_modules folder.

5: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
This is just a pretty fun sci-fi romp. There are two parts to the story, a human part and a not so human part. The human part hits a lot of the beats of long term space-faring-cryo-sleep-bottle-ship romps of the genre.

But the non human part. Oh that’s great. I never thought I’d well up emotionally when a spider astronaut took their first space walk. Or so interested in how spiders would encode visual information in a data stream.

Can’t wait for when I need a meta-meta-framework for building NextJs sites.

#Coffee people, I’ve just got an #aeropress, trying the Hoffman method. But it always feels a little weak, how are you all brewing your aeropress coffees?
