You know what the worst thing is about collecting watches? The 2x a year when the clocks change. Changing the time by 1hr on 50 watch is NOT fun. 😂
Does anyone else have an entire box of watch straps, like this?
…no? Just me then. 😳
Some won’t like, but I’ve decided to re-join Twitter.
I’ve started wearing a fitness tracker (a Garmin Vivosmart 5, to be more accurate), but I already wear a traditional watch. So I have a watch on one wrist and the tracker on the other. It’s weird, but I’m getting used to it.
Some really interesting calculations from Manu here in response to @tdarb@fosstodon.org post. It’s a very compelling argument and now I’m thinking about removing my custom font…
Are all the timelines etc. blank for anyone else on the Micro.blog app?
I don’t get it; what’s the difference between a digital garden and a blog? 🤷♂️
Anyone know how I go about discovering a new fediverse account here on Micro.blog please? I’m trying to follow @torvalds@social.kernel.org but he’s not appearing in any results.
Hey, Linus!
One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday…spannering on the bikes. Today is a wheel bearing change.
🔧 + 🏍️ = 👍
Since moving house back in October, it feels like all we’ve been doing is haemorrhaging money…around £40,000 so far to be exact!
We’re starting to see some progress now though, and I have to say, I’m very glad we moved. 😊
Analytics Discourage Creativity by @noellemitchell@mstdn.social
I really feel this post and have been down this rabbit hole myself.
BTW, I’m reading your blog, Noelle…hi! 👋
Jason Kottke celebrated 25 years of blogging yesterday that’s just incredible to me.
Incidentally, I celebrated 10 years of blogging myself recently.
Hurray for the personal blog! 🎉
Stop Using Custom Web Fonts
I’m not sure I agree with Brad here. Well, for the most part I do, but I have a font on my site, and I use it because I really like how it looks. That all, that’s the reason. 😊
I’ve also had a few people comment about the font, so some people clearly do appreciate custom fonts. Agree though, performance still needs to be a key factor.
I hear a lot of Americans saying “I went for a hike today…” in posts that are accompanied by often beautiful pictures of the US vast and varied landscape.
But what is “a hike” to your average American? Because to me (British), a hike is a 20 mile hike up a large hill/mountain. Is it the same?
Sledging with the kids…that sky! 🛷
This makes me sad and very worried.
So I did an SKXMOD on my #Casio AE1200. Metal case, sapphire crystal and a silicone strap. Really happy with it! ⌚️
(Bronze is before, black/silver is after)
I think I’m good, thanks, Zoho.
So there’s a parody website that I came across a while back that is a demonstration of how bad the web in terms of popups, ads, modals etc. but I can’t find the link right now. Would any of you fine people happen to know what it is please?
Thanks!
How is it that things can go from heavy snow to me practically getting sunburn in the space of a few hours??
Really enjoyed this post about a Minimal Viable Blog. I think it can be improved slightly though, so I’m gonna give it a go.
Spring has sprung…apparently. 😳
Daily challenge day 9 - “together”
Photo challenge day 8 - “walk”. Here’s a photo of the Welsh hills during a lovely walk with my wife recently…
