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…

@kev Been wanting to do something like this but where I can email it and it would post it.

I think if I had to log into my panel I'd never keep it updated.

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...

An American friend of mine thinks beans on toast is disgusting. So to all none Brits (as we find it delicious)…is it disgusting to you?

Side note - I find it astonishing that someone from the country that invented “cheese in a can” can find this “dish” disgusting. 😂

@kev Delicious to me, ate it a bunch when i last visited

@sundogplanets Cool, caught you mentioned in a Daily Mail piece on all the satellites...

Physicist warns Starlink satellites risk stripping Earth's atmosphere https://mol.im/a/13324923 via @mailonline

@GoatsLive @sundogplanets @mailonline I can believe it and it feels like they are launching new sats every other day at this point.

What really blew my mind the other day was when I was reading an article about building a GPS receiver and learned there are only about 30ish satellites providing that in all.

Protip:

.fish TLD is 29$ a year
.fishing TLD is 23$ a year

So it's cheaper to be into fishing than keeping fish.

Sort of looking at maybe upgrading my camera soon and kind of stuck between sticking with MFT or moving to APS-C or full frame.

At some point I'd like to try some astro-photography.

It'll suck to have to buy a whole new batch of lenses though

Fediverse I need some help! I need famous movies that had a 3.5" floppy disk in them as some part of the movie.

So far I have:

  • Hackers
  • Office Space
  • The Net

I gotta be missing at least one or two more.

@Topslakr Matrix were MD's not floppies though they look pretty close (and honestly pretty awesome)

Mission impossible is a good call.

Takedown I'll have to hunt around on. Cant remember anything offhand.

Wargames was maybe a 5.25 but i can't remember (been a while)

Jurrasic Park I don't think there was but I might just re-watch that tonight to make sure

Good call and glad i looked, forgot how hot these drives run.

Top 2 were around 55c with no fan.

I think Im gonna go to plan B on these and move the whole lot outside the case.

I wish I was as good at marketing as apple was. These people could literally get robbed by apple and they would bend over and thank them for it.

Always hated dark mode on my site. It was a compromise and it looked shit. So I removed it.

@kev I always hated offering the option. I always liked to put thought into my color scheme and the last thing I want is to have two when I probably only look at one of them anyway.

@rridley@fosstodon.org avatar

You ever buy a Fountain Pen that you just ultimately hate?

I picked up a Platinum Plaisir a couple months back and I'm just over it. I think the nib is scratchy, the ink is always mess, it's hard to fill and it's so picky about inks.

Pretty much ready to clean it out and pull it out of rotation all together.

it's definitely just a me thing but Japanese F nibs are just too fine for me. Maybe I just haven't had a good one though.

Give me a good LAMY or TWSBI M nib any day.
