Notes

Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.

  • Back and forth

    — Right, that’s it. I’m getting annoyed with the block editor. I’m switching to ClassicPress

    Two months pass.

    Slightly missing the fact that my posts appear in the fediverse via the excellent activitypub plugin for WordPress.

    — Okay. I’m gonna switch back to WordPress.

    Sees that the next version of WordPress is merging in a whole load of ai-related features.

    *smh*

    — Fuck this! I’m going back to ClassicPress for good. Nothing is worth mixing with the slop machines.

  • And now its back off. All the ai crap that WordPress is shovelling into core just puts me right off WordPress. Looks like I’ll be on ClassicPress for the foreseeable future.

  • My website is back on the fediverse.

    Fediverse reactions

  • I really want to start writing short stories on here. Much like an old friend Andy Hawthorne does.

  • I’m still finding inline styles in old posts from my time with WordPress and it’s guttenberg editor. I like the idea of the guttenberg editor, but gosh if it doesnt bloat the fuck out of your html.

    I’m now on ClassicPress which is WordPress, if WordPress hadnt gone down the swanny.

  • Them: Hey Dave, you should use “ai”.

    Somewhere, on a desert road in U.S.A, is a dusty drinks bar about to erupt into a fight. This album playing on the jukebox.

    I got vibes of my distant memories of the film Road House. No sure how accurate that is.

    Favourite Songs:

    • Love Letter
    • Real Man
    • The Road’s my middle name

  • Found my old iPod classic with all my music still on there. Loads of it.

    Just gotta get it working with my linux install.

    First step to getting my music listening out of big tech.

  • Finally got a Casio F-91W watch. Similar, or perhaps the same, as I had as a child.

    Does pretty much everything a watch needs to do, without all of the modern “smart” rubbish many “watches” have nowadays.

  • I forget what monster this was, but it was one i just came across on my way around the shoreline on my boat.

    Its a game that has definitely grown on me – due in big part to these side quest encounters.

  • Choices were made.

    For better or worse.

    Sorry, Keira.

    The botchling fight in The Witcher 3 was not fun. Especially when those bloody spectres kept showing up.

    I dont feel like there’s much of a skill climb to get in the game so far – other than jump, roll, hack n slash.

    But maybe thats on me and my abilities.

    Still, lets continue on.
