Friends doing nice things can be pretty great.

It has been 0️⃣ days since typing git checkout [repo] instead of git clone [repo].

It really seems that the Police Squad! TV series has been disappeared from the internet. I know a lot of it made it’s way in to the first Naked Gun movie but I’ve been wanting to re-watch it but it’s just vaporized.

Last night, the YouTube app on my TV was mostly showing music in my suggestions. Mostly related to what I’d listened to on YT Music during the week.

Stupidly, they were mostly audio only clips of tracks I’d listened to. Because obviously when I turn on the TV I want to listen to music.

I’m assuming they’ve turned up the Gemini in their YT algorithm.

Yay, I managed to update about 1500 notes on my site without accidentally sending a single one to Mastodon.

The code alongside the comment “don’t share old posts to Mastodon (magic number alert)” just paid for itself.

Contrary to popular belief, I’m Going Home is the best number in Rocky Horror and I will not listen to anyone who suggests otherwise.

Predictably, I am planning on watching Rocky Horror tonight. My copy is the 25th anniversary re-release.

The cat is distracting me by being adorable. ADORABLE.

I’d like to use server side analytics but I suspect they’re even more susceptible to referrer spam. Apparently you can do it through CloudFront but they’re not very good; I have heard Cloudflare does a better job if you sign up for a pro account.

I’ve decided to remove analytics from my website. Referrer spam has beaten me and I figure most actual visitors, mostly nerds, to my site have blockers installed anyway. It’s also allowed me to remove Jetpack as that’s the only thing I was using it for.
