    @nekoow7@mastodon.social I&#39;ve had Pneumonia at least twice (with about 3 lots of bronchitis before that) - your stats looks quite good tbh (I&#39;m *averaging* 95% O2 atm: dips of down to 90% - it&#39;s been about 6 years since my last pneumonia but Covid hit my lungs bad). Just rest when your body tells you to (and even when it doesn&#39;t - fatigue can be a sneaky SOAB) and keep taking the pills and fluids and good luck.

    All of yesterday (and most of the previous day), my Google Pixel 6a mobile phone kept randomly rebooting (sometimes without interaction). So I ordered a replacement Pixel 10a which arrived at 10.30am this morning. My old phone has operated without any issues whatsoever since 9.30am...

    New to #Mastodon? Just think about it as &amp;quot;instant public email&amp;quot; - like email you use the full address (including the @ domain name/instance) when contacting somebody else, you can communicate with other domains/instances from any other (bar blocklists/spamlists) and you could just have one email account/Mastodon account in the world or multiple dependent on preference (work, social, special interests etc).

    Now just to decide if the &amp;quot;new project&amp;quot; should be written in PHP using Slim (which I know), PHP using Symfony/Laravel (neither of which I know well and dislike Laravel), Node.js (which I don&amp;#39;t know) or something else. Learning something new would be good, but I also want to get the project done &amp;quot;this year&amp;quot;.

    Just got a reminder for a telephone call at 10.30am this morning: shame it&amp;#39;s already gone 2pm and I&amp;#39;ve had the call.

    @TechConnectify Thanks very much for this! For years I wondered how they worked (but not enough to remind myself to look it up) and had thought they were just colored lights (hadn&#39;t occurred to me they might be CRTS) and wondered &quot;how the hell do they make the picture&quot;
