Playing around with Zed editor, VS Code is still my default, but I'm noticing some real advantages. It's impressively quick and Zed Agent works really well with Ollama and open models, which makes it a handy tool for specific projects.
Upgraded my ThinkPad T14s from Fedora 43 to 44. Everything just works. Nothing to report.
Reading about the Windows 11 K2 initiative and really hoping Microsoft pull it off and improve their OS.
A YOLO flat white ☕
Reading the Fedora 44 release notes and suffering some mild FOMO. I may have to put down the MBP for a bit and crack open my ThinkPad.
Spring cleaning, which made Mr Potato Head happy as we found all his arms and ears under various bits of furniture.
Not a fan of Elon, but I've just test driven a Tesla model Y. It was super easy to drive and I really liked it.
Breakfast at Spoons. Egg and sausage muffin + endless coffee for £3.29. There are not many things in this world that offer the same incredible value for money.
I'm not attending OggCamp this weekend, which makes me feel a little sad. It's a great event with fabulous people and super interesting talks.
Watched 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Theatre Royal Nottingham. Really enjoyed it and the music was proper good.
Feeding the quack quacks with Mummy and Nanna.
Trying to decide if I want Diablo II: Resurrected - Infernal Edition for my Steam Deck.
Just short of 2 months using my M5 MacBook Pro - everything just works, it's properly quick and the battery life is just amazing. I honestly think it might be the best computer I've ever used. Now, if it could just run Linux 🤣
Trip out to RSPB Bempton Cliffs for a spot of bird watching. Impressive views and the volunteer staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Bit windy.

Looking at Mythic Beasts Raspberry Pi hosting options. Nice to see an honest sales pitch: "This is a service aimed at hobbyists, and shouldn't be used for nuclear power station command and control systems." I'm definitely a hobbyist and I'm keen to give it a try. I'm thinking I might rent one for a bit and see how it performs.
Testing a HTML canvas app on my Pixel 9 and Becky's iPhone 17. The iPhone feels much faster, probably because it is. I love my Pixel, but I'm feeling a little envious. It'll pass, maybe.
Working on a PWA and trying to figure out why the PWA's cache was not updating. Wrote a bunch of tools to debug it. The tools insisted that it was updating. Turns out the Service Worker was successfully fetching... cached files from the server. Caching the cache. My head hurts.
I've been watching a good amount of Hey Duggee lately. The Frog Song is my favourite. Some people say the Stick Song is better, it is not.
Playing around with the ScreenshotOne API service. I've been using Puppeteer to grab webpage screenshots, but the ScreenshotOne service feels quicker and more reliable. It's also a lot simpler to implement and maintain.
