Ah shit. I forgot to eat today.

So, while broadening my children's horizons (while driving in the car), we stopped at a pedestrian crossing 🚸 to let a guy and his little girl cross the road.

After they had crossed @swmbo and I looked at each other and said "I wonder how sound proof our car is..." 🎶

Why am I looking at

It does look perfect for blogs and stuff though. I think I'll mirror my blog to that, once I can work out how to automagically build it for that as well as html in hugo each time, perhaps.

Kinda sick of seeing everyone shitting on people with Utes. A lot have them because they're diesel and aren't bad on fuel, and because they need a Ute for something. The fact you see then not using them as a work horse is irrelevant. I own a 7 seater, because a few of times a year it is handy. And I'm not buying another runabout just because, so I can pay extra wof/servicing/insurance.

And the rest own utes because you dont pay Fringe Benefit Tax on them.

I thought the shutter mech on my camera was dying, but it turns out I had bumped it into BKT (Bracketing mode) which was right beside CH (high speed burst). I guess that would explain the exposure variation.
:facepalm:

Oh and this morning shot most of a game on AF-S instead of AF-C. I just assumed #autofocus was having a bad day.
Good thing I only do this as a hobby.

Heading to hockey... slipped on the polariser, as I noticed it helps with the reflections from the water turf :birb_idea:

Does anyone know of a #smartwatch that only does notifications and stuff all else? After something minimal 🤔

Does anyone have recommendations for a privacy respecting #analytics package I can use with my #Hugo site?

I wouldn't bother, except part of my Media Accreditation for MotorsportNZ each year is proving how much of an audience I have. And I want to get rid of faecesbook.

For those wondering how the hell they'll continue to use Fedi with everyone losing their mind over some marketing genius's decision about a platform they could rightfully ignore:

We need to select our new front door... and lock hardware. We want a , ideally that I can integrate into ... but so far the Yale offerings are kinda shit and massive looking. I like the look of this one https://www.schlage.co.nz/en/products/SREEAS2.html but no rfid and I haven't looked at integration options...

Would anyone in the have experience with options they could point me to? :birb_idea:

Annoying weather.

I personally think Firefish is a stupid name, but I do like the logo. :firefish:

And not because the name is bad, but because it is too close to other names. Firefox, for example.

But hey, it is just a name, and as long as the devs are all behind it then it's all good.

Oh I got website set up... ended up using #Hugo with a gallery plugin. Took some searching to find the right one.

I'll be adding albums to https://www.swansinflight.nz for a while but at least its easy now.

I had forgotten that when I go and see my voodoo massage lady... I have the worst headache ever the next day.

Ugh. Smashing back water.

Queensberry IT team make things easy.

My shop website for my photography is with them, and I used to have www.swansinflight.nz point there but changed to shop.swansinflight.nz so I could have a main site with a larger archive of images under my control.

When you enter the custom domain, you click a button saying Create Certificate, but it failed (with no notice to me) and browsers threw a fit.

An email with account number and name and the issue, and it was all solved. :birb_thumbs_up:

@swmbo went to the supermarket for juice.

Hmm gallery export is shit, so tried some image gallery options in hugo.... none work :mastodon_oops:

No doubt Iam doing something wrong or they won't work with thr theme I chose.

Is there a markdown to html script or something anywhere? I guess it's only marginally faster for me to write though... so meh.

I have found websites that do the conversion.

Why.. why am I writing a website in plain on a Sunday evening....

Oh right. Because the modern web sucks. This page is 3KB including styling.

I have discovered my new favourite thing.

Burger Fries.

Fries covered with diced pickles and burger sauce and broken up patty and cheese.

OMG. The best.

Also, am having some leftovers for lunch. 😋
