Notes
Short updates, links, and thoughts that do not need to be full blog posts.
Mastodon has recently had a bunch more fun/silly content that I’d been missing from Twitter.

This is a very convincing argument. Teams should have fewer meetings but write down what is agreed.
Writing should be done in plain text and markdown. It should be stored in git.
I agree with pretty much everything @kepano has written here!
I don’t care for football, but the Welcome to Wrexham documentary is superb!

Beau Miles is the kind of person we should all aspire to be. He's a fantastic story teller who loves to find adventure in his own backyard and often does so with message of sustainability.
This is just his most recent video but I highly recommend going to his channel and watching a few over lunch.
Dave (Lil Dicky) is excellent TV. It’s too damn funny!
I think I might end up building a website for the Ulster Flying Club. They’ll need to update it themselves and I won’t be able to maintain it.
I think that might rule out Wordpress because if someone isn’t looking after it it’ll become hopelessly out of date. Any recommendations on tech that fits those requirements?
I’m not at State of the Browser but the #SotB2023 hashtag is making it easy to keep up to date. It’s the first time I’ve seen a hashtag work really well for me on the fediverse.
I’ve been swimming a lot recently 🏊
I’m not very good at it so I’m mostly doing this to learn and get better.
It such a good workout! 45 mins in a pool and I am absolutely ruined!
Svelte Runes look very interesting!
I have such a reputation with my friends for delivering useless facts that they made me a logo 😅
Evidence
Freshly ground coffee smell so damn good

Very much agree with this. Discord is an infuriating place for a support forum.
The Micropub spec is fascinating. I might build a server in Go to try it out. Are there any good micropub clients? #IndieWeb
This Youtube channel is fantastic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pNRuafoyZ4
I love this. Kagi seems like a very cool company. https://blog.kagi.com/small-web
Hoping to fly myself up to and around the north coast of Ireland today
I’ve been thinking about a social media model where your website is your profile and where your posts live. There would be aggregator services kinda like mastodon that you submit/connect your website to and it would facilitate boosting/discovery and commenting.
Maybe it would be possible to access those comments and have them displayed on your own site too.
This is a little like hacker news I guess, except once connected each post would automatically be shared with your “home server”.
Weather was too bad to fly so I stayed in the ground. Aww well!
Heading out to do some flying this afternoon. The weather is definitely marginal, so it'll be a good opportunity to push my skills.
I've started using Karibiner Elements to remap my keyboard. This is a slippery slop. Please send help!
I recently switched from using the Apple Magic Mouse to their Magic Trackpad and so far it is a big improvement. We'll see how my wrist holds up.
I got to see Foy Vance play with the Ulster Orchestra. It was incredible. I’ve you’ve not listened to Foy Vance, you should. I cannot recommend him enough. He’s criminally underrated. #Music
