Today, I need some motivation ... I have a humongous project on the go 😭 Anyone else desperately need to hear a vigorous "You got this!"?

Just tested positive for whooping cough, been given antibiotics and told to isolate for five days .. if this week couldn't get any better 😳

Semi-successfully migrated a Hugo site from GitHub Pages to GitLab Pages - I'm pretty sure I don't agree with the AI approach Microsoft is taking with Copilot seemingly ripping code and not respecting GPL licences.

I say semi, because the same Hugo site has the domain name repeated twice in the URL, but only for certain pages ... 🤔 ... not on GitHub, but only on GitLab ... 🤷‍♂️. Same code, different relative URLs ...🤷‍♂️ 🤔

😃 Converted an almost 15-year-old MacBook Pro to today.

First experience with a Mac went very smoothly.

Only one Broadcom WiFi driver to worry about.

Now a friend of my daughter has an updated laptop OS that allows her to use Scratch, and therefore do her homework! 😃

Reduce - Reuse - Recycle - Repair - Repurpose ♻️

Ufff, the advert, so tone deaf for our times.

Wrong on so many counts, celebrating the destruction of human creativity and artistry, and contrary to all the R-principles ... rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, recover, recycle, refurbish, remanufacture, repurpose, reclaim, retrofit, retro-cool, revival, reading the room ...

... all under the heavy, grey-steeled palm of an uncaring machine.

Hard pass

Anyone have any experience setting a development Hugo site on a Mac?

It's incredibly easy on Linux ... but the same process on Mac gives "Page not found" on localhost:1313.

What am I missing? 🙏

(brew install hugo, hugo new site MyNewSite, theme added, hugo server ... nothing on localhost)

Today has been a long day. Been threatened at home by a man trying to break down a door and saying bad things will happen to me. Had to help prepare the school fête for tomorrow. Really didn't get much work done, though I started at 6am. And had a lot of hassle trying to transfer a site from GitHub to GitLab Pages. Still don't understand why the same code in both systems gives permalinks that work in GitHub but not in GitLab ... And I can't sleep 🤷‍♂️

Sunset, the moon out on show, up in the mountains, above the clouds, rocks to climb, with my girls, a perfect moment in the Torcal.

Today, I'm translating #sustainability reports, from Italian to English, according to the Global Reporting Initiative standards.

It's encouraging seeing lots of companies trying to go green, and focusing ever more on their environmental, social and governance performance.

Can we do more than hope and pray it gets respected?

👀 Why is @mozilla moving to ? Come on Moz, you can do better!

"After Python, Firefox is now moving to Github.

While I understand those who have an historical addiction to Github, I don’t understand moving to it now. It’s like they don’t even try to think about the consequences…"

Possibly only in when your family is under the weather do you get the headmistress of your kid's school sending you a besico 😘, and asking if you need any groceries ❤️. Certainly couldn't have expected that growing up in the UK!
