Holy shit that was a busy day! What ever happened to relaxing weekends??

Ok, kids are in bed so it’s time for a beer in the hot tub, I think. 👌

Hi @kev ! Thanks for approving my site submission on 512KB 👌
Is there a way to help? May be with participating to the rescan / verification process?

@patpro The biggest part that @garritfra and I are struggling with (don’t have time for) is the website reviews. There’s some discussion in the issues about improving it, but we haven’t got around to it.

I've been experimenting with a notes page on my blog (https://kevquirk.com/notes) and cross-posting to socials.

It’s getting tedious already, so I’m not sure this one will stick…

@robb I’ve managed to get it to a point where there’s very little friction, and I love the idea of keeping a log of my thoughts, but it seems silly to head over to my site to post, when I could just do it here. 🤷‍♂️

I’m considering building an Apple Shortcut to do, but I really can’t be arsed learning how to do that.

@RL_Dane Ah thank you so much. ♥️

I replaced the blades on the mower. I think its fair to say that the old ones were past their best. 😳

@benpocalypse My thoughts exactly, then I looked. 🫣

@TerryHancock I’m sure they were, many years ago. 😂

@wesdottoday I just sharpen the blades myself in my bench grinder. It’s always worked so far.

I think I’m gonna buy a spare set of blades to have on the garage too. I always keep spare belts.

Having my 1:1 with my boss, both on camera and my cat throws up in the background.

Him: Did your cat just throw up.

Me: Yes. Yes, she did. I was hoping you didn't see that. 😂

Him: You wanna end early and go clean than up.

Me: Nah, it's good. Looks like one of the dogs is eating it anyway. 🤮

Any users here? I've just started testing it to see if it's better than Apple notes. I've created a couple notes and tagged them, but the tags aren't showing on the sidebar.

What am I doing wrong? This isn't a great first impression…

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@asier Just by clicking on the create button at the top. Then added tags like “” (without quotes). But nothing. Tried restarting the app, still nada.

@ricmac Yup:

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@ricmac I’ve tried that, still nothing. The “/“ is supported as that’s a sub-tag.

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

Figured it out. It seems that “" isn't supported somehow? If I change it to or it works, Bear just doesn't like the “blogging" tag.

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@ricmac Haha that was the first thing I tried. It seems that the tag I was using (blogging) just won’t work. All other tags do 🤷‍♂️

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@gavinanderegg It does, but for some reason is doesn’t appear in the sidebar.

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@gavinanderegg It’s a minor thing in the grand scheme of things. Other tags work fine, so it’s all good. I’ll just use “blog” instead of “blogging” 🤷‍♂️

So over the last couple weeks I’ve been getting back into weight training and more intense cardio in my little home gym.

I nearly skipped tonight because I’m so tired from work, glad I didn't now those endorphins have kicked in.

@basil You don’t get that little pick me up after exercise?

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@basil Ah man, that’s shit. I usually feel really good after exercise for around an hour, then I get tired and hungry haha.

@outofcontrol Evening, after the kids are in bed.

So it seems that was down for the last few hours because of a outage. That's very annoying; DDG should probably get out from under Microsoft's coat tails...

@byjp Yeah, you’re probably right. Which is really, really sad.

Everyone knows I'm a watch geek, but I've now taken it one step further and added a watch wearing log to this site.

@totikom I’ve never felt the need to buy a pro trek. I find them very garish, mostly.
