I am attempting to walk 3 miles a day (minimum) every day in October. Today's walk was good. I am rubbish at these challenges. Wish me luck! (or better still, DM me asking how I'm doing!)

Hi my name is Andrew and my favourite colour book spine is yellow. #books #bookshelves

Bookshelves with books, mainly yellow Gollancz Science Fiction Hardbacks, and other sci-fi.

@chattr.online has reached over 200 users now, and it's easily going to reach 300 by the end of this month. I'm genuinely so excited to see where the platform I have built goes. If you're a Twitch user, then please check it out and sign up if you're interested!

What an utterly dreadful circuit Madring is. Processional racing, decided by a dodgy VSC decision. How, in this day of huge cars and efficienct aerodynamics, did that circuit design get past scrutineering? (I know the answer, it's €€€€€€€).

Happy 909 day! Here's a 909 treat for you: LFO - LFO (Leeds Warehouse Mix). Fun fact - this didn't actually use a 909 drum machine. The beat is sampled from Simon Harris' "Beats, Breaks, and Scratches Vol 1".

The more I work on my side project the more excited I am getting about it. It's my most ambitious to date, involves one of my passions, and has potential to be a lot of ̶w̶o̶r̶k̶ fun.

Ever add a personal scratch file to .gitignore just to keep git status clean? 👀 Don't change the shared .gitignore for something only you need. Use .git/info/exclude instead. Same ignore syntax. Local to your clone. Never committed.

Got caught out by a small nuance with Laravel's scheduler yesterday. By default, scheduled tasks don't run in maintenance mode unless you specifically enable them.

People think a project is "done" when it goes live but personally I think a project is done when someone logs in six months later and realizes they've forgotten what the old system even felt like 🎉

When reading a detailed piece of content for a complex topic, something that's quite long, how do you prefer to consume it? One big long page, or broken up into chunks? I'm not convinced the article format is working, especially with the #multitenancy stuff I'm writing.

🔌 Coming very very soon to Oh Dear: a new ports check. 👀 You say which ports should be open, and we'll check those 💪 We'll also check if all other ports are closed

Ports 80, 443, and 9999 are open; running nginx services. Status confirmed as expected during a recent check.

A 20-second time penalty for Charles Leclerc for leaving the track several times on the last lap after damaging his Ferrari! Drops him from 6th to 8th, below Lewis Hamilton and Franco Colapinto.

So, Claude, and Gemini, both suggest I present clasinc symptoms of someone with ADHD. This surprised me. Not sure what the next step is. Do I bother with getting an official diagnosis (pretty difficult at 53 on NHS) or just read up on it and act accordingly? (No interest in medicating for it)

#F1 should take a leaf out of #Indycar’s book and experiment a little. If the cancelled race issue happened for Indycar they’d do something like have a non-championship race somewhere with a $1 million prize for the winning driver and team.

If your work requires long periods of focus, and you like music to help you concentrate and block out everything else, then I can highly recommend headphones and Rob Jenkins Ambient Dub techno... So so good.

Merge it. Taylor demos the full SDLC of 2026: Nightwatch catching an error, AI fixing it and opening a PR, Cloud creating a preview environment, OpenClaw calling to ask if he wants to merge the PR. No code touched. Fully self-healing app.
