I've just let the magic smoke out of my coffee grinder. That means I can go back to bed right?

I want to know which of my neighbours has the wifi hotspot Menzoberranzan because it feels like I should know them

Amsterdam to Heathrow via four hours in Newcastle wasn't how I originally planned today.

I need an emotional support extrovert for this night out.

Sat on the main gay street in Amsterdam and have a weird feeling of not quite belonging.

It's my day, I'll ruin it if I want to 😛

Today’s life lesson: Don’t run Kubernetes with dual-stack native routing and IPv6 as the primary family unless you hate yourself. First you debug the underlay, then discover half your workloads think IPv6 is a rumour and proudly bind to 0.0.0.0 , causing every readiness probe to fail.

Jojo realising I'm 3 glasses of pinot in and will be singing to him for at least another hour.

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

I need to find a man who looks at me the way Jojo looks at my burger 🤣

Nice evening walk pondering life, the universe and everything.

Maintaining a library to avoid buying duplicates is going well.

So close to burnout at work. Really hope a week off is long enough to recharge.

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Making a playlist for tomorrow's run. It's all gone a bit gay. There is one section that can only be described as "Eurovision Diva Surge".

Jojo and I have important business to attend to this afternoon.

Survived the Bolt Round the Holt 10K. Much more hilly than I'd have liked.

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 13/04/2026

I've dropped a waist size and a t-shirt size and no longer hate what I see in the mirror. I'm finally starting to think about the future instead of letting the dumpster fire that has been the last 8 years hold me in stasis. I think I'm almost happy or at least the closest I've been to it for years

Make that an entire bottle of malbec and half a bottle of shiraz

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Oops. I appear to have sunk most of a bottle of Malbec

I've finally trained Spotify correctly. Nightwish - Endless Forms Most Beautiful followed by a metal cover of Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

It's been so long since I've truly felt like me. I think I'm finally starting to get a little piece of that back. It feels good and I will NOT let anyone take that from me again. Got a way to go yet but it's nice to not feel empty.

All is peaceful, they've worn themselves out playing Bitey face.

5 parkruns down and I've yet to feel the runner's high unless it's the "thank christ that's over" feeling when you finish.

Upgraded the Kallax, still have room for more boardgames.

Also just signed up for therapy. My recent attempt at dating has made me realise how much unprocessed stuff I have around my ex's addiction issues and my house fire in addition to the usual self-worth issues.

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

I'd forgotten how much I love the REM albums Monster and New Adventures in Hi-Fi. It's weird how certain artists disappear from your listening for a while.

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Can finally listen to a song I associate with my ex without crying. I'm healing yes?

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Current mood: Four glasses of wine and Spotify. So could be good or bad 🤣

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Started a new play of Baldur's Gate 3. My new character appears to be a complete moron and hasn't passed a single death saving throw yet.

Nice email this morning. "Get ready for your annual Council Tax bill". Am I supposed to lube up or something?

Looks like I missed the launch of the RPG sessions at UKGE as I wasn't paying attention. Nothing left I really want to play :-(

Chris Spiller @chrissyspill.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

I hate trying to make dating profiles. I always feel like I've nothing interesting to say.

Theme for today... Going Through the Motions from the Buffy musical episode 😬

My bathroom scales clearly became un-calibrated over the Christmas period 😭

Happy New Year Everyone. Here is hoping that 2026 is less turbulent.

This takes the award for most amusing card of the year. Not only does it play Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up on repeat the compartment that houses the mechanism is stuffed with glitter to prevent tampering. I believe someone just declared war 😂

Those lovely folks at @pelgranepress.bsky.social sent me a lovely pre-Christmas present.

Ever start folding a wrap and then your attention wanders and you end up with an unholy abomination that's impossible to eat neatly?

I am honestly struggling to give a flying fuck about Christmas this year. I will be going home to my Mum being unable to hold a conversation and my Dad trying his best to keep his shit together. Dementia and Alzheimer's is horrible and I don't want to deal with this but I have to.
