Playing Splatoon 3

Today so far has been about beating my head against the wall of Kirby CMS, getting in an errand to Fred Meyer and back as my daily walk, and blogging what I’d need to move to Kirby CMS, and the rest of the day feels like being really worn down.

Today's lesson was trying two new things and backing out of both of them!

I’m unreasonably happy with my leather journal cover

I cannot spend another night awake, reading. I cannot.

Sitting outside under a light blanket.

Not stressing... :-)

« Il mio nome è memoria. Sono la vostra più preziosa amica. Sono la buca in cui non ricadere e la strada sbagliata da non imboccare la seconda volta. Posso essere la vostra più temibile nemica. Perché sono l'occhio che fotografa la vostra vergogna nel buio di una stanza. »

Alessandro Ghebreigziabiher

Spent a bit of time last night upgrading my Steam Deck from 64GB to 1TB and it's laughably simple. Cannot believe that it's possible to get a fully-fledged gaming PC for about £300 all-in.

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer

In navigating the complexities of today's business environment, remember that unity and a shared vision often lead to strength and productivity. Collaborating with others can bring forth innovative ideas which may pave the way for peace and prosperity in your ventures.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Tree day!! Working on physical space projects today and looking to get back into the digital cave on my day off Friday.

today is today

A misty, rainy Sunday morning. Those are the best..at least it feels like that this morning.

Trying to organize my computer folders

I’ve been thinking about writing (and not sending) about a letter a week to my conservative dad. The one who sent me to conversion therapy with a clergyman when I was a teen, leaving wounds that still aren’t closed. The one who believes that Black Lives Matter is more of a threat to America than the January 6th insurrection which literally set the White House on fire. The one who thinks Trump is a wealthy, smart businessman because Art of the Deal. The one who always, always, always needles and pokes and skates around politics and then tells me I’m being too political when I call him out on it. Yeah. That dad. I have imaginary fights with him about politics almost every day, and these fights take up too much mental real estate. Maybe it would help to get some of this out of my head and on to paper, even if it’s just for me (or my blog). Maybe I’d learn something. Maybe I’d finally let go and forgive. Or maybe I’ll slowly go insane. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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

I feel so bad today. I miss my family so much…

Currently I appear to have six Mastodon clients on my phone. I feel like I am having major commitment issues. But does feel like the old days of Twitter. Seeing which one I like the best.

Aww yesss got my new Rodecaster Duo mixer set up! I hope things go XD

Watching Slow Horses

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

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.

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

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. 💙💙💙

thinking about whether to use this

It’s snowing in Canning Town.

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

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!

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)": .

Getting back into Elite Dangerous

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.

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!

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 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.
