As well as being a nerd, I’m also a keen fish keeper. Today, my wife and I are taking the kids to the local aquarium.

It’s my favourite day out and I think I’m more excited than them! 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐡🐠🐡🐠🐟🐠🐡🐠🐟🐠🐡🐠🐟🐟

<sigh> logged in 2018 and tagged with "needs API" so I assume the API isn't capable of deleting toots.

I use a tool called TweetDelete that deletes my tweets once they become 6 months old.

Does a similar tool exist for Mastodon?

This is superb. Well done, Linus.

Which one? Square or rounded?

I wrote a quick response to Ben Gillbanks' post on why people use #Medium - I think it's still valid today, albeit 2 years after the post was written.

TL;DR - Avoid Medium. 🙂

Doing some words with my boys and “today” came up.

My youngest: “tu-oh-du-ah-yu…TODGER!”

Nearly died. 😂😂😂😂

Q: Do you know what the greatest smell on earth is?

A: If you said anything other than “behind my dog’s ear” you’re wrong. 🐶

😂😂😂😂

This is fantastic news, but the pessimist in me can’t help but think that they will still find a way to weasel out of the taxes.

I love Scott Nesbitt’s writing. This is a quick note on my thoughts about his latest musing.

Took the day off work today, been thinking about selling my motorbike as I don’t really get time to ride it (<1000 miles/year the last 2 years). Decided to take the bike out to try and help me make the decision.

Did around 180 miles around Wales, most of it inside Snowdonia. I won’t be selling it, and I need to make more time for riding! 🏍

My mum: Kevin (that’s what she calls me) you’re the only person I have on blue WhatsApp [Signal] and you don’t message me that often. I’m deleting it, I’ll text you instead.

Me: NO! Don’t text me! I’ll put green WhatsApp back on my phone.

So it looks like I’m back on WhatsApp purely because of my old dear. 🤦‍♂️

It’s a really shame that Keybase has seemed to have ceased development, I still use it most days though as it’s a great product. Maybe the team will loop back to Keybase once they’re done with Zoom? 🤷‍♂️

By the way, if anyone has any Lumens hanging around their Keybase account that they don’t want, feel free to send them to me. My Keybase username is kevq 😁

#WordPress is 18 today, so I thought it would be fun to share a screenshot of my first foray into WP, a tech blog called Refugeeks. The site started in 2010, and looked like this for nearly 3 years. 🤦‍♂️

The design is diabolical, but I thought it would be fun to share. Any of you folks got any design horror stories in your past? If so, get sharing them! 😊
