Watching Slow Horses

Good morning

Enjoying my "decision" to wake up way too early and crap out by 10am today.

🚗💥🚗

Buen sábado a todos

Starting season 1 of The Wheel of Time with some trepidation

Arrived at an age when I notice how quickly younger people age.

Using the quiet Saturday morning to drink coffee (obviously), get a little work done, and catch up on various RSS feeds that I really enjoy and don't always find the time. Yay Internet!

Just finished a great run along the river!

Transform your day with reflection, courage, and introspection. Embrace change using golden yellow chromotherapy to stimulate focus and rosemary for mental clarity. Carry tiger eye crystal for confidence, and unwind with the serenity of frankincense oil. 🌞🌿🐅🔮

I may subscribe to Vanity Fair. They pull no punches and their truthy headlines alone are worth the $1 a month digital access fee. Eg:

To God be the Glory! Thank you for the gift of life!

"The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance." – Brian Tracy

In times of transition, resilience and vigilance are key to navigating uncertainties. As dynamics shift, maintaining focus on core values will provide the stability necessary for sustainable growth. Be prepared to adapt quickly while holding fast to long-term visions.

And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.

• Daniel 2:21

« Il coraggio non deve dare diritti per soperchiare il debole. »

Ugo Foscolo

Got an early screening of Napoleon booked. Hooray for fun historical epics, boo to three hour films.

Writing love letters to myself every night when I make my peanut butter banana overnight oats. This one simple act of devotion has revolutionized both my mornings and self-care practice. Highly recommend.

Hope I can break free from this dysfunction

Anyone else playing OSRS Leagues?

just got my yubikey

Playing around with omg.lol today. It's a personal web page, email forwarding, domain, and more. This is a cross-posted status from my omg.lol page and Mastodon. Pretty neat!! :3

Next up: Work on filling out my profile web page @

Just finished watching The Creator. Would’ve enjoyed more Gemma Chan but ooh la la, what a movie. 5/5 golden bomber robots. Would watch again.

Feeling good this Friday after catching up on sleep!

Completed my first ever Advent of Code today! Used Go as the programming language, which I am still learning

Yesterday’s weather led to my first skipped daily walk in ages, but it’s back around 50°F with some drizzle at the most today, so things should get back on track this afternoon.

too tired to go to bed

My hands are constantly cold. Brrr.

3rd month of wage arrears

Hello!

Just relaunched my blog. Starting from scratch. Now using @getkirby@mastodon.social

Oof...gotta find some time to draft chapters for my web serial, esp since I start my new job next week. I only have one episode queued up at the moment, which is...not great lmao.

FINALLY got rid of SHB’s Tesla yesterday. He’s in a new Ioniq 6 and damn, new cars have a lot of features! We will have to actually read the manual.

I immediately figured out how to mess with the LED lighting colors… but he made me out them back to a normal palette. BO-RING - but I guess I didn’t marry him for his love of novelty. 💙💙💙

Apple wants to charge me some money for iCloud storage. I’ve been backing up my photos to my own server for a while, but it’s time to make it the main thing.

breakfast pho is best pho

thinking about whether to use this

It's time to build the new blog.

Feierabend

I've been doing the 100 Days to Offload challenge wrong: the tag goes into toots, not into the blog posts themselves. Whoops! Good thing toot editing exists now.

It’s snowing in Canning Town.

"I sleep at night by the warmth of the fire from the bridges I've burned"

Getting sick, just in time for the weekend. At least I'll be back on track in time for my vacation. Oh well.

I have been unwell the last couple of days, though I really don't know what I have had? The main symptoms? Tired and achy, a slight and brief fever. I think that I am on the mend now. If you are waiting on reply from me, I hope to be back in touch tomorrow.

All my drafts from November will now roll into December. Looking forward to finding some focus time in the mornings where I’m in a good mindset for writing.

Episode 099 is out!

I made chicken rice yesterday. I added butter, which I usually don't put in, and it turned out to be very tasty!

This White House statement on Kissinger's passing is one of the coldest things I've ever seen. This is as close as something coming out of the WH will come to saying "And fuck that guy (sorry to his family tho)": .

My OMG.publish plugin is now on obsidian market

Hello, World!

CONFIRMED: I am still deathly allergic to drama.

Getting back into Elite Dangerous

fully convinced that the annual spotify top song playlists are an elaborate humiliation ritual because why is my 6th most played song la la land by demi lovato

Realized it's been a while since I posted anything. Been working on some updates to my Now Page and still working on writing my play.

Making dinner

Feeling slowly rather festive - the snow helps!

Today I facilitated a small class on cultivating gratitude in the workplace. It was more of a group discussion than a lecture or training. One of my colleagues shared this when we were closing out, and I nearly cried. It’s an absolutely beautiful essay on gratitude and you should listen to it now.

It was a great deal..

Life is life.

Choc’late!

I’m using AI. This tech is amazing. Especially when it enhances human productivity rather than replaces it. But gosh I can see how it breaks the web.

Looking forward to the weekend

New to omg.lol :D

Just replaced the joysticks on my Joycons. I feel powerful, and sad for the 4 or 5 other ways to control my Switch I’ve recently bought.

Hello, world!

It´s not a loop. It´s a spiral.

Haven't updated my status in a while. Hello, world!

How it started : Bought Barbie Bath Bombs from Lush.

How it’s going : EVERYTHING is shimmering with glitter… The ntire bathroom, bedroom, face, hair, clothes, desk pad, trackpad, iPad, iPhone, food, parts of the neighbourhood.

I think I’m somehow leaving a trail 😂

Oppenheimer 4K Blu Ray is coming tomorrow. Excited to experience it again. Had to run up to British Columbia to see it in real IMAX last July. Much smaller screen at home. 🧨

Feeling fuzzy like a dissolving cloud.

Taking a break from "the socials" thru the end of the month. Hope y'all have a great next 10 days!

Just completed the second weekend in a row of driving over 1,000 miles. I’m so grateful for adaptive cruise control!

Currently playing: EA Sports FC 24.

ok, I renewed

Sunday night vibes

Updating my /Now page (finally!)

Ahh, it's that time of year again when I like to ignore all the new games and bad news in the world and just sit down and replay my all-time favourites.

When it’s 27°C in November and you hear Christmas music.

Drove 285mi and had to tap out. Checked in to a hotel for the night to rest and recharge. Hopefully I can start early tomorrow and complete the full journey in time for #F1 and #cricket. Big day!

Today is going to be a great day!

So I think what I learned tonight is that decaf tea may still have enough caffeine to keep me awake past bedtime. Guess it's back to herbal.

Eerste van 5 vrije dagen. Geen grootse plannen, wel wat rusten en bekijken wat we aan het einde van het jaar willen en kunnen dien.

Sometime about 9 months ago the Wordpress instance I used to manage my personal website was compromised and I opted to take my site offline. Well, procrastination got the better of me, but I finally got around to wiping my hosting environment and starting with a clean install.

I'm going to be rejiggering a lot of things, but here we are, back online: jasondrowley.com

Finally getting around to updating portfolios and updating with new work. I've kinda been both busy and not these past 6 months.

I've done a weird thing for some reason and switched my weather app to display Celsius. Kind of liking it.

I don't like rain in summer, but in Autumn I love it. Rain is like an invitation to go and curl up in blankets and read, sometimes to watch the drops play with the green/red/yellow/brown leaves.

Stuck at the beginning? Instead of being stuck worrying that your first attempt will be bad, aim at being bad. Give yourself permission to do it poorly and then try.

Once you have a bad attempt out of the way, you can either fix it or learn from it and start over.
