Incentives are (almost) everything.

For utterly mysterious reasons my Apple Watch SE lost power from 100% 39 minutes into a three hour hike this morning. Seems fine after a full recharge, but the numbers lie.

I’m traveling myself, and you will probably be gone before I get back on Monday. We could have had a mini-HWC. Enjoy yourself.

Wait, what? You’re in Rome?

Posted my monthly update. I realise that this is a good antidote to me thinking that I have frittered my time away. I haven’t, but I need to consider the things I’ve done to provide myself with a more accurate picture.

I know this is a really unfashionable point of view, but I like daylight savings time. The day’s work is done and there another couple of hours of light to enjoy. I honestly don’t get why some people get so aerated about it.

My OCD is giving me grief about the different line weights in ↗ and ↘ in the latest post on my website.

No. idea what you are talking about. The h1 element is right there, wrapping the words “Why does the Labarum theme not have a header”.

It gave me no pleasure to read Brad DeLong’s recent Dealing with Global Warming Over the Next Fifty Years, in which he eviscerates several climate deniers braddelong.substack.com/p/dealing…

No, wait. It gave me a great deal of pleasure. Do yourself a favour.

Grammarphobia says it has no clue about the origins of “chumbalone"meaning an idiot, or stupid. www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2024…

Maybe I’m an idiot, but I reckon it derives from the Italian ciambellone, like a big pound cake with a hole in the middle. Can anyone confirm?

Or could it be from coglione?

I have been looking for a way to syndicate from here to Mastodon, and landed on the KnownMastodon plugin. Unfortunately, that did not work for me. I did a bit of digging and discovered that the error was in a piece of Mastodon authorisation code and that cdn has implemented a fix, but that did not seem to have made it into the code I downloaded. Further digging revealed that the fix was actually by crscheid and that even though they had created a proper pull request, that had not been merged either. I did what any sane cargo culter would do, downloaded the fix, stuck it in my site, crossed my fingers and tried again. Lo!

Another test of syndication.

Found another person who syndicated from WithKnown to Mastodon, and wondering what technology they used. Probably the Mastodon plugin that is not working for me.

Testing POSSE to Mastodon using the KnownMastodon plugin. I like the fact that (if it works) syndication is optional for each post.

Trying to use IFTTT to POSSE from here to @etp@indieweb.social and discovering, alas, that use of a webhook requires payment. Not that I’m against paying, just that this particular use cannot justify the cost. Next stop, the ActivityPub plugin.

Movie might, My Generation, with Michael Caine. Excellent documentary about London in the 1960s. Loads of nostalgia. What a time and place to be growing up in.
