More rough drafts for a nodenogg.in app icon. The app would act as a “super peer” and have longer term local storage and some extra specific functions as it acts as a “tutor” device alongside being able to run a local copy of the nodenogg.in sync engine for complete intranet usage only.

A stylized purple letter "N" is overlaid with geometric shapes and circles on a yellow background.

Finally managed a bit of time to get my teeth into Dextrous and Screentop for supporting current game research project “Railbreak” screenshot of super early concept stuff atm. But so far these tools have both been wonderfully delightful to set up and use. 🚂 Read more

Hey iOS apps it’s a dark pattern to not store the state I left you in but instead reload to show me new / different content OK when I reopen - this is why I have to try and always open in browser or copy to somewhere.

Based on the fact my Apple Watch for me now is only really useful these days for unlocking clam shell Macbook Pro i think I might look for a new style of watch that isn’t “smart”, maybe I should go back to my Seiko kinetic watch…. dunno time to have a look about for under £200 watch I think

On campus today to test some new furniture, cushioning seemed good! plus used it as a chance to tidy up office before real return to work (next week), need to actually organise my book shelf’s but that a days job in itself!

A cluttered bookshelf overflowing with an array of books, folders, and miscellaneous items, including a figure of a popular video game character on top.

No BBC this is not the reason for higher energy bills. This will just pit people against people. Horrid journalism.

Text describes higher bills resulting from extra financial support for those on benefits and associated costs.

I built a Garden water feature this last week - prototype is not bad so far… a few more touches to improve the illusion for sure but happy with it so far.

Dam accidentally turned off the outside freezer! Chips, veg gyzos and ice cream gone, chicken breasts all being cooked now. However it was still all very cold (just not frozen) I hope too refreeze wife’s pork chops and salmon she carefully portioned up. Being vegan myself it’s triple bad in my mind
