  monday stand-up update.

  I dreamt I had built a "walkthrough" of my house on my website (like estate agents do), but people were allowed to interact with it and add little submissions. But, my approval mechanism stopped working, and when I woke up, people had added ghosts and demons to my house photos using AI.

  About to finish reading “sense and sensibility” and I can’t get over how the 2p post service was better and faster than the current Royal Mail.

  I accidentally misspelled my 3 letter name when creating an account on the Odeon website. And since the cinema is now as serious as a bank, I can’t change it without contacting the “guest services”. I hope they let me in.

  aww I've recently been interviewed for an article for the magazine SuperInteressante. The article is live (and locals can get the physical print) and I'm quite chuffed. It is, of course, about the IndieWeb 💛 And it happened just after I said that I would like to spread the word in Portuguese. Article link: https://super.abril.com.br/tecnologia/internet-a-moda-antiga-conheca-a-indie-web-onde-as-pessoas-ainda-fazem-seus-proprios-sites/ It's paywalled however you can l...

  RE: https://front-end.social/@anarodrigues/117128124190755617 by the way, this only happened because the journalist stumbled upon the slides of a talk I did and then hosted on https://noti.st - and that's how they contacted me. So please post and share the talks you do and make them findable. You just never know.

  Last year I gave a talk at MKGN about my personal reflection on how, after years of chasing IndieWeb perfection, I just accepted my imperfect online third-space and how it is now space for genuine connection. Some bits you may be familiar with, but hey, that's talks for you. https://ohhelloana.blog/mkdn/

  Yesterday I was on a call talking about the indieWeb in Portuguese and oof. The brain power of translating and saying things I only ever thought in English was a whole workout. 😮‍💨

  What’s with the audio in this last series of the great British sewing bee?? I’m on iplayer, and it doesn’t matter how much I increase the volume, nothing meaningful happens. This has been happening in so many shows in different apps too 😡

  Because of trains, I am currently gambling on the bus turning up so that I can make it to today’s HWC on time. The good news is that the @astro tote bag has the perfect shape to carry cupcakes 🧁

  I know I am not allowed to complain about a spoiler from a book published in 1811. Yet, I am absolutely raging that I looked up what an expression meant and Google’s AI overview put a big spoiler 👹

  One of the most liberating things that ever happened to my brain was hearing and accepting that “no thought is original”. The amount of times I’ve stumbled upon someone else’s take on an idea I had is high, but these days it doesn’t stop me from still thinking through my own spin on things, for fun.

  So Gatwick south terminal has decided to remove the lovely soft play area for kids. The new kids area is by the gates in a dark corner. It’s tiny with hard floors and it sucks imo. Last time I was in the north terminal (June), the kids area was still “in renovation” after one year. The child-hating decisions on public spaces is an epidemic that needs to be shamed.

  It's often uneasy for me to share my experiences as a woman in tech, but this job market has me worried for everyone stuck somewhere harmful. I admire everyone who takes on "women in tech" speaking gigs but I am also angry for them and us. https://ohhelloana.blog/woman-in-tech/

  just driving by to share that for an embarrassing amount of time, i thought “tradWife” was a new trend where wives brag about doing trading on bro apps. I had not seen content about it, this was just an assumption based on the word’s potential meaning. 🫠

  I was able to join tonight's Homebrew Website Club and my eldest made sure to say hi too. But I also showed one of my very offline projects: my own #IndieWeb cross-stitch banner 🪡😁 PS.: there's an #IndieWebCamp this weekend ahead of https://beyondtellerrand.com https://events.indieweb.org/2026/04/-indiewebcamp-d%C3%BCsseldorf-ewHCZehNA3gg

  If you don't have access to the pilot project you can get the hormone progesterone prescription via a fertility clinic without doing fertility treatments which is what I did. It cost me around £50 for the prescription plus the appointment. I am happy to chat about this 🫂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62r8lzgnk2o
