Very sad about Michael Mosley. Really enjoyed his explorations into medical topics. I do occasionally use the 5:2 diet and it really works well for me, the day after I really feel on the top of my game, but it was the details in his findings on other folks fasting research which were fascinating. Sad loss to humanity and of course his family.

Welcome @Dixon ! I was reminded of you this morning as our toilet paper delivery arrived. Thank you for the recommendation back in covid lockdown times!

Made an icon for external links from my site.

Didn't use it.

Omg. @SaraSoueidan's material is dense and fast and great and my brain is busy.

When the video comes out I will certainly share it.

Is this the planet fighting back? First Orcas tipping yachts over, now whales arming themselves with crossbows. What next?

I’m going to have to read this to find out…

Little known fact. In the UK, it’s spelled Docto Who not Doctor Who #drwho #doctorwho

Other than link building, what aspect of #SEO would you never want to do again?

Per Plausible, udm14’s biggest referrer of traffic is now Google, which is hilarious

I know $12 USD is a lot of money for some people, so to celebrate 1000+ sales (!!!), I'm giving away 1000 PDF copies of How Git Works (honour system: only if $12 is a lot for you!)

Here's the link, enter code BUYONEGIVEONE at checkout to get a free copy https://wizardzines.com/zines/git/

(it'll ask you for a billing address but you can enter a fake address if you'd prefer)

This is bit of a stretch ask, and, possibly very vague, but - I've been trying (and struggling) to find potential speakers for #ffconf that can talk on the subject of "how to think critically / being sceptical".

Ideally wanting UK based, but can stretch to Europe.

Any suggestions?

Gardening has just sort of happened to me.

I never understood how it could be interesting. My mother and both her parents were avid gardeners, I couldn't have cared less.

Now I realise it has to do with having your own space in which to garden. It's a privilege. Allotments are so important to those who otherwise have no land around their homes in which to potter and plant.

It's a joy isn't it? Pruning, planting, tending and weeding. Not a chore. A slow, gentle, growing joy.

Very narked with Twelve South today.

The wonderful Book Book cover for my iphone finally gave up the ghost after many years of service so i popped onto Amazon Twelve South store and they had a Journal cover for £48 that would fit my XS Max (no Book Book anymore).

The case broke after 5 weeks - 5 days after the last Amazon return date. Emailed Twelve South Support who deny this being their case or any liability.

So the Amazon Twelve South Store must be fake. Beware.
