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...

So yesterday I published a post about logging which watches I wear. It's been a fun little coding challenge for me, and I'm proud of myself. But there's always someone who has to piss on your parade...

I think @kev collects watches. 😆

Contemplating if I should splash out on a gym membership again. All my workouts are at home with free weights and I have great results… I was turned off by the gym a few years back, mainly because it felt like it was full of angry people smashing weights.

@vincentritter I have a small home gym in the garage (a spin bike, a set od adjustable dumbells 5-40kg and a bench). It works really well and I like that I’m training at home.

@vincentritter I’m considering adding and EZ bar and a preacher bench, but not just yet. I’m only just getting back into lifting.

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.

@jbaty You certainly could!

@tripplehelix Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder, I need to look at that. I don’t see how you’re making that happen though as the svg is the correct colour when hovering. Are you hovering just off the SVG where there’s padding on the link or something?

@tripplehelix Thanks, fixed.

@brejoc Exactly. I’m planning to do some stats over time.

I love Mastodon, but I'm too lazy to post regularly. Is it just me? 🦥

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@niqwithq I go through peaks and troughs. Generally speaking, I read far more than I post. Still enjoy it most of the time.

We went to the National Ironworks Museum yesterday, it was pretty cool. This sculpture(?) of Kim Jong Un on a rocket was particularly good, I thought. 😂

Here’s some more for good measure. The transformer was huge. Maybe 30 feet tall?

Open question for those on Fosstodon.org:

I moved here for a more stable place for @blogroll and it fits well. I also moved my personal account; it’s more devoted to travel, photos, spiritual stuff, etc. I do write about old school web & biz too.

Does it make sense for my personal account to be here or would I (and you?) be better suited if I re-planted it on a more relevant Mastodon server?

kev,
@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@alongtheray @blogroll I think stay here. When was the last time I posted about open source? We’re pretty much a generalist instance with a slight tech focus at this point.

@robb @joel I’m not too bothered to be honest. So don’t feel like you need to look into it. If/when I get time, I’ll try removing the whitespace.

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@robb @joel I’ve just removed the white space, so we will see how it does next time I post something. :)

I added a random watch picker to my site. It’s fun not knowing which watch I’m gonna wear each day.

@Lenni This works well enough. 🤷‍♂️

@alongtheray Yeah, it was relatively easy to do.

@stephan I thought about doing that too, but decided this would be more fun.
