  It surprised me the other day to find out that most of the people I was talking to, who were even on average older than me, had never re-wired an electrical plug. I've done it so many times when running extension cables through tight gaps. Am I the odd one out here?

  I have to show so much restraint on Instagram when there are creators complaining about AI training or educational vloggers complaining that their sex ed stuff is getting shadowbanned. Come to Mastodon! (I get why they want to reach a larger audience on the big platforms but come on, we lap that stuff up over here)

  frankly puzzled that apparently I set up my website to automatically start up when my remote server rebooted for the first time in over a year. It's only been rebooted four times in the last six years, that barely seems worth my time XD

  I have gone with a field maple, which is a type of acer, to help fill in the visual gap from the conifer in the opposite garden that was cut down. Another conifer would probably have been easier but I thought why not have a bit of a change.

  I love that if I see an interesting instance name in a mastodon username I can just whack that domain into the browser and see what the instance is about… but it's always slightly disappointing to see the generic Mastodon front page. Masto should make it easier to MySpace it up in there.

  I'm glad I managed to get out in the sun for the couple of days we had it last week. It's overcast again—and so cold. I'm back in my winter jumper, I thought that was put away until next winter!
