Don’t review films much but just set letterboxd to timeline and also added to import to blog not sure I needed to add it twice let’s see what happens…
spent too much time debugging weird p tag issue on home page meaning blog is to wide and overspills, p display none fixes it but that defeats the point of a blog, resetting to default Marfa theme no joy, so weird and so so annoying as its very hard to debug, iPhone simulator at least helps reproduce
Not sure if I have now broken letterboxd feed 🤦

Did you say you want to hold something at 800°C for 8 seconds… or maybe like me you just don’t want to get burns when taking stuff in and out of the oven. Primajor Gloves gotcha. New gift from middle daughter 🧤
Sky Sports I hate you - moving Kick Off to 8PM for your TV schedule coupled with SW trains replacement buses means I will be running to the train station to catch the penultimate direct train home, this is one of the many reasons I will not give Sky money. Not for the Fans.
At the Romsey winter lights garden thing at the interactive text installation everyone was putting “I love you” blah blah blah… so what did you expect
I don’t know if this is the case but as I am often on the beta app for iOS micro.blog I noticed push notifications toggle in app kept switching off I wonder if the updates / switching between release and beta make this happen. @manton maybe something to note.
LeBron James is 40! Crumbs
Things we learned about LLMs in 2024 - Simon Willison
Ha I like this idea of instead of resolutions (which I don’t do) but picking a word for the year via @KimberlyHirsh - and turns out I had already done this in discussion with people last week so my word for 2025 is going to be SLOW
This sign always makes me chuckle. Children’s Play area at the flats built on the old location of Southampton FC, The Dell ⚽️
So I think I need to use the new photos / photos collection look for my archive Instagram blog … just need to work out the steps @manton would be cool if your demo photo blog on the about page had a step by step guide as to what to turn on :)
I try to use MS todo as my app of choice at work as I can capture email into it and it keeps work in work tools. So do I bite the bullet and whip out my Things app lists (back them up I guess just in case) and try and have Things as my home / other to do. I might … 2025 clear out 🤪
Hmm if I use Uber to buy my train tickets to football it’s cheaper than Trainline app
Plus I get uber credit which I could use for future trains! I think I will have to start to do this for 2025. App is not as easy to review train times but … Trainline app you better come up with something…
Using Copilot to write a raindrop audio synthesizer using AVAudioEngine — Matt Gallagher
Hmm now use reader mode setting in MB iOS app has stopped working weird cc @manton @vincent fyi
Also for 2025 I “have” to use Instagram for work but I am going to try and only open it to post new content from Games as it’s just a sink hole. The question is if I log out how easy is it for me to pop in and out to just do this…
Took some fresh eyes to my manifold plus used Claude 3.6 (via perplexity as free with o2) and boom fixed! It was me being stupid as I had two “installers” in the same directory that meant it was not happy to proceed - now updated to 8.1.1 :) which includes some LLM blocking robots.txt happy days
Trying to gift Micro.one to youngest daughter. Not sure she has got the email as atm she is waiting for delayed plane and I am now the delayed taxi driver in cold England to Gatwick 🥶 🚕 as no way home without me now 🤦
Got some proper RSI / ULD coming back atm I actually think this is from the way I have been using my phone over the last month on trains and just more than normal. Time to get back to work and reduce iPhone screen time 🤣
So far in Southampton weather warning stuff seems to be skirting north of us. But still evaluating any travel this weekend 🌨️🌧️🧊
Just noticed my /now page was last updated April 2023 🤣 I see @dajbelshaw@mastodon.social updated his so I might have to set a recurring event to keep mine a bit more useful (not that anyone ever will go there 🤣)
Cleared out Things to use as my home todo… let’s see how that goes…. Need to look into some of the automation stuff to quickly capture and can keep very specific work stuff in MS todo and outlook … (in theory)
People keep asking what would Steve Jobs do… he already told us - www.manton.org/2025/01/0…
What… my youngest daughter knows what I need - back from her trip to Belfast with gifts
