I finally got round to moving photos and recordings from my phone to my laptop. Weirdly there’s still 50GB of “other” files and I’m not too sure how to inspect this.
Apparently there’s an app for this. Many apps in fact.
I have a day off tomorrow. Hell yeah. On a Wednesday!
Not sure what I’m going to get up to but I reckon it’ll involve some kind of coding.
I’m thinking of making some kind of thing.
OR I could finally set up my urbit.
I’ve backtracked on the green dot.
Still not satisfied with this new CSS for “not read” indicator. Running out of battery. Must sleep.
I’m kind of surprised and sad that a:not(:visited) didn’t
become the de-facto “you’ve got a notification” indicator
everywhere.
I just finished watching “Dark” for the second time and oh my, the plot is insane. When you think it can’t get any more mind-blowing, it blows everything you know out of the water and into another parallel universe.
Today I went on a bike and a walk with my dad. It was super sunny so I’m now completely exhausted. We were out for around 4.5h in total and covered just over 8 miles by foot, and probably 16 miles by bike.
I really enjoyed getting out and doing some proper exercise and getting a bit closer to nature (although it was very village-y, there are no big forests around Bedford it turns out).
Dad and I talked about getting back to work and how people might want to work less now they’ve seen what it’s like to have so much control over how and when they work.
I’m now wondering if I should take a pay cut and use my Fridays to work on something on the side or do any of my hobbies.
We also talked about the possibility of me getting back to London now that restrictions on socialising are a lot more relaxed here in the UK (still socially distancing though).
I spent a lot of time thinking about where my ideal place to live would be, which is somehow both very close to the city but also right next to mountains.
Anyways, I’m pooped.
I have to admit that for some reason, a sunny day doesn’t make me feel happy like it used to.
I would even venture that I feel happier on cloudy, rainy days at the moment.
Maybe it’s because socialising is dead right now and I feel like there’s no other reason to go outside! That’s of course nonsense, but emotions aren’t always reasonable.
I feel like going on a long walk through a cool shady forest far away from machines and roads.
Finally fixed a bug on my personal site that prevented Safari users from even using one of my apps that is not-so-secretly embedded in an iFrame on my personal React site.
I dedicate this fix to my mother who uses Safari.
IT’S HERE. I DO IMAGES NOW. LOOK: https://lukebarnard.co.uk/blog/img
I want to do a bit more generative stuff this weekend so watch this space for more fun with circles!
