Just a typical weekend activity trying to get my ancient pentium 4 computer to post. I'd love to try and get Linux on this but I don't have a suitable keyboard yet.

A motherboard sat on a cardboard box. There's a monitor in the background showing bios text. The computer is old

Watched a friend absolutely crush it on stage. So cool watching a choir singing mashups of pop songs and musicals

Dipping my toes into something new 😍 I'm a complete novice when it comes to hardware hacking, but I'm having a lot of fun figuring it all out. Amazing what these little things can do!

This may be a stupid question but if not using a knife how are you supposed to open this?

While backing up photos from the cloud I made a spreadsheet to keep track of things. Part of my workflow involved counting photos so for fun I made a graph from it. Looks like I take around 150 photos on average and 2022 Q4 seemed like a good time! 📷

But who in their right mind would make a code pen linking to a code pen inside a <code-pen> inside a @codepen.io

Bsky holding your data ransom until you give them more. Awful UX and data handling. Always question the value of your data, where & how it's stored because if not, one day it can be taken away from you. Always favour physical media and open formats over anything else.

Bluesky note reads "Don't worry! All existing messages and settings are saved and will be available after you verify you're an adult"

Hot ride. Honestly how do people ride in 30+ degrees for fun?! Sneaky ship trying to hide from my camera

View of Cardiff bay. It's sunny with no clouds. There's tower blocks in the background and water in the foreground

Last ride in the sun before a wet few days. Went to the beach 🏖️

Selfie of Me and Chris overlooking a sandy beach. It's sunny.

POV riding along a path. It's sunny with trees and grass on the left. The right has a fence which puts the path in shade

Photo of Chris riding along a straight road. There's rocks and water on both sides. Hes making a 🤘 gesture

A good day in the saddle despite a double puncture at the end. New helmet is much comfier than the old one

Two bike riders cycling along a well paved single track. The weather is sunny with some clouds on the horizon. One is wearing blue with black shorts. The other is wearing dark green.

A selfie of me. I'm wearing a red and orange top with sunglasses and a black helmet. It's sunny and I'm smiling. There are two riders in the background.

Making the most of the only sunny day we get this holiday 😎

Two people on road bikes. They are traveling along a single track road. There are houses on the right and grass verges on either side of the road. The weather is sunny with some hazy clouds partially obscuring the blue sky.

One of my favourite views

Cardiff bay barrage. There's a cliff side on the right with houses all over. There's water Infront. The weather is sunny

-1 to 10 means I'm both boiling and freezing 😄 cycled along the muddiest of mud tracks, bike is filthy. Jolly lush day

Cold ride to the beach, trying to smile when your cheeks are frozen is hard 🥶 fyi this is now a cycling account sorry

Let's give this a go again I guess 😬

In London today for work. Enjoy walking instead of the tube and if I'm honest for short inner city trips it's usually on par speed wise

I try and do as much open source as I can. Sometimes I have negative experiences but when I get interactions like this I'm glad I keep contributing ☺️

Comment from nacho reads:

Hey! Thanks for this, I always misspell this word 😅.
Congrats! You're the first official code contributor for Typescale Garden!
I'm happy to hear it caught your attention and that you felt like it was valuable enough to put time into.

Reply from me reads:

Yay 🙌

Thanks for the project, I especially liked the incredibly relatable demo text 😆
