Debian login prompt on a billboard

The largest Linux login prompt I've ever seen!

Thanks. I'll take a look. It should be ignoring those files from the remote source as it knows it's going to overwrite them.

Is it beorg or git reporting the conflicts?

I haven't seen this myself. Can you remind me which sync service you're using?

Star Trek DVDs. Some in cases and some in wallet.

#StarTrek left Netflix last week. My son and I had just come to the end of TNG Season 5 - a trip out to the shed and my pre-streaming DVDs was required so he wasn't left hanging wondering what had happened to Data's head. 👍 for physical media!

Black and white cat looking out at cars with a dusting of snow

My daughter has been excited by the small amount of snow we've had, and been bugging me to post this picture of our cat looking out the window.

Lego train

I'm liking the choices my son made for propping up the #Lego train (Skeptics Guide to the Universe book and Exploding Kittens game)

Cat is a small bed

Oreo is enjoying the rabbit bed my daughter has given him. #Cats

Feel free to get in contact with suggestions on here or Mastodon. Always great to hear how beorg can be improved.

I dislike going back to clients saying I can’t fix a bug. YouTube embeds in iOS/Android web views appear to be broken in locally rendered content. Will this be fixed, or is it a deliberate change? We’ve all been reminded in the past month with the AWS/Azure outages of the problems of ceding control.

UK Mapominoes game

Mapominoes, the English county variant, was played this evening with the children, my wife being at choir. A game I find difficult to remember the spelling of.

Close up of coaster

I'm not sure these coasters actually contain any music.

Sunflower growing between pavement cracks

I spotted this like guy bravely growing between the cracks in the pavement.

I’m dealing some years old technical debt this morning, and updating a client project from Mapbox v9 to v11 - and they’ve changed the APIs quite significantly. I’m not having a fun Monday morning.

Screenshot of Postalgic

I came across a new-ish iOS app this morning called Postalgic. It's a static site generator with a nice friendly UI that runs on your iPhone. Push to GitHub pages, S3 for a way to have a free personal blog. Very cute! Open source and a one time payment app 🎉 https://github.com/amiantos/postalgic

Cat sniffing grass grown in a plastic tray

I think the grass is ready for the #cat.

Ticket to ride board game

It's Father's Day so I picked playing the #BoardGame Ticket to Ride Europe. My son has the game as a present for his birthday a couple of weeks ago, and we hadn't played it yet. Lots of fun, despite me getting confused how the destination cards worked!

We've decided it's our #cats birthday next week. I'm trying to grow him some grass. Although he's nominally an outdoor cat he doesn't seem to like outside much!

My son has been telling his friends parents in the playground how excited he is to be watching the second part of the #StarTrek TNG "The Best of Both Worlds" after school 🤩

My son got a number of fun looking board games for his birthday. I'm looking forward to playing these with him at the weekend.

Bike leaning against fence

Cat sniffing around folding bike (in folded state)

It's time to try out my new bike. I've not ridden in 30 years, but want to go on bike rides with my daughter. I chose a folding bike as the shed is very full! First ride went well and my daughter was very excited when we went out together 🤩🚲

I'm really enjoying "It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton". The two one listened to so far have been great short stories, and an ideal length for a lunchtime walk. pca.st/podcast/9911a4f0-e72b-01...

I don't go into Birmingham City centre very often. There's always some new big project in-progress to marvel at. Here I'm looking over at the construction of the terminus for HS2 and how it will link into the tram network.

I'm enjoying having a play with Journelly + Raycast, a new journaling app which writes to an Org file. (Raycast script) home.omg.lol/address/mken/pastebin/ra... (Emacs Lisp) home.omg.lol/address/mken/pastebin/ad...

🙏 My iOS app made it to the App Store, please help me get the word out and boost 🚀

Child riding a bike

My daughter had a bike for her birthday earlier this week. She's doing really well learning to ride. I was a little nervous as I didn't do too well teaching her brother a few years ago - but she's coming along fantastically! I might need to get myself a bike... I've not ridden for about 30 years 😬

Tyre swing

For the past few years our local park has been removing equipment and not replacing it. My kids were so excited yesterday so m to see the return of the tyre, after an absence of over three years!

Broken unicorn cake toppers

Note to self: don't order cake toppers with delivered shopping order.
