I’m a wizard, Harry.

My car was in the garage last week and whilst I was waiting for it I decided it might be nice if my /uses page had a changelog. Not just a changelog, but an accompanying RSS feed too.

It’s total over-engineering, but fun over-engineering. I now keep a CHANGELOG.md (in keep a changelog format) and I hacked together expertly crafted a Ruby script to parse the Markdown and create an RSS feed from it.

So subscribe NOW so you can keep track of when I buy an unnecessary new phone.

Castro went down again this week, with zero comms about it, again. They clearly haven’t learnt any lessons from the previous outage. This time it was a DNS issue.

I’m glad I’ve exported the OPML file of all my subscriptions, because I clearly need to move to something more reliable. I tried a few options last time but nothing really stuck.

I briefly visited Swindon this weekend. I won’t be bothering with that again.

Big, stressful, week. We had an offer accepted on a house, so hopefully we’re going to be moving. Scrabbling to find a solicitor and mortgage was not how I wanted to start the week, but I was pleased with how quickly we managed to get everything up together.

I’m scared/stressed/excited about the prospect of the move. There’s a hell of a lot of do, and lot to catastrophize about too.

Do you want a hardware keyboard for your iPhone? – Clicks Creator Keyboard. I’m not sure what is wrong with me either, but yes, I have ordered one of these.

I’m feeling quite behind on everything.
