• The admin view for Tanzawa's Exercise plugin is coming along nicely.
  • The problem with having two fun side projects:
    Do I write the Strava integration for Tanzawa so I can get all of my running data (or lack thereof tbh) just so.Β 
    Or do I write some billing/electricity tariff calculations / #OctopusEnergy API integrations, so I can show just how much my solar / battery is saving me each month....
    I reckon Strava is more important/less like work code... We show estimated costs on our graphs...I bet I can use that instead of calculating things meself to start?
  • Remember how places like LiveJournal used to have "post flair"? They were effectively different emojis for your moodΒ  or the weather. I think there were even some music integrations so show the song you're listening to...I think I need that on my blog.Β  Weather could be done free with OpenWeatherMap/weather-icons. Music might be trickier...
  • Saw this flat with about 10 of those portable solar generators haphazardly hung on / around his balcony. Love it. Wonder how they’re actually using it….
  • Fussing with package managers on the weekend on my Mac. Makes me think I may as well just run linux.
  • My favorite hours of day are the ones that only exist in Japan. Also the implications that you can just extend a day is great. β€œWorking? Boss, it’s Saturday 68:00. Why would I be working on a _Saturday_?!”.

  • Happy to hear that Derek Wessman, self-proclaimed "mundane joys enthusiast" and one of the most prolific tweeters of Gaijin twitter is blogging again. I've already subscribed and it's an inspiration to share more of the mundane joy on my own blog.
  • I’ve migrated my site to fly.io. Let me know if anything is amiss.
  • I'm really liking ooh.directory. Yes it's full circle for how we used to discover things on the web, but it's kinda nice? Having a human curate the sites allows them to surface sites that'd get lost in the noise of SEO spam.
  • Checking out various mastodon instances and it reminds me of browsing phpBB forums growing up, in a good way.
