Too many photos? 📱
I recently moved my backup solution, which meant that all the photos on my mobile phone had to be re-uploaded by the software. I did not appreciate I had 8,324 images on my phone. Too many?!

I've done something quite radical -- I've disabled notifications for my emails. 🔕 There, I feel better now that I have confessed. It has become apparent that I (and probably you) are slaves to notifications. As soon as your Desktop or Mobile device pings, you can't resist having a look. ...
This morning was the funeral of my lovely elderly neighbour. She was a gem of a lady. I called her the duchess. She was full of wisdom, grace, and mischief -- right until the end. I collected her after a brief hospital stay mid-December, where she learned she was poorly...
Tonight's red wine is: La Cuvee des Copains Cotes du Rhone 🇫🇷🍷🐖 A charming vivacious red with raspberry notes and a juicy texture. Comments can be made via my post on the Fediverse
It's all happening with the apple tree! If you missed the first instalment, check it out. The youngster is progressing. After 6 days we have significant signs of life. Comments can be made via my post on the Fediverse
I came rather close to one of the seeds while eating an apple earlier. It would appear it was making a bid for life. Who am I to deny its ambition? I have potted it and await the first fruits of my love. I have a feeling I may also...
Why do many of the Open Source projects offer support/help via chat services like Discord ? Honestly, it's a dogs breakfast (aka mess). It's mostly a linear chat; people join, ask a question, and expect an immediate response. Is that really possible? Shouldn't we be managing expectation better? The question...
Following on from my last Scribble about probing the Fediverse, I'm now ready to launch the project into the wild. I run a couple of Fediverse servers. On a daily basis the delivery queue can build up as it tries to deliver to non-responsive servers. I need to know if...
I working on a small project, and as part of it I need to know if a Fediverse instance in live. Some python scripting later and it is regularly probing every fediverse instance. An interesting exercie. Currently, the stats are: 72,098 known servers 25,273 are dead 24,210 are erroring...
Have you seen omg.lol ? I love the idea; love the site; love all the little offerings; would happily pay twenty bucks for these great ideas. I just can't deal with having an omg.lol address. A .lol domain is like Comic Sans font -- cringe. I appreciate loads of peeps...
My other half decided to buy a few jigsaws at the local charity shop. I later commented that it will probably have a piece missing. I'm thinking of taking up prophecy 🤭
For about a week I have been, on and off, fighting my browser and Ubuntu Desktop to flush its DNS cache after struggling to reach one of my websites. After a few minutes of swearing I'd set the problem aside and revisit another day. The domain name was resolving to...
Following on from my life changing discovery of Git, I've been busy testing various repositories. I decided to have my public code on Codeberg, but for all my private work (websites, and various scripts, and dev work) I've rolled my own server. You might ask why I don't just make...
A new discovery in my life: Git As a hobby developer, and occasional dev. in my career, I have been aware of Git and GitHub. However, I've never given it much head space; I saw it more as a tool for collaboration with other developers. Recently I decided to dabble...
A red letter day today -- I wrote my first ever python script, and published it publicly on a code repository! I consider myself a competent developer in a number of languages/scripts. My current strengths include the website suite of tools: PHP, HTML, JavaScript and CSS. I've often wanted to...
