This is my #introduction.
I’ve been online for a very long time and have had my own homepage since the early ‘00s.
I’ve dabbled in web1, 2 and 3; and think web3 is a very horrible idea as it is framed now. Crypto is worse.
I re-launched my homepage in the last year and post short updates regularly.
I’ve been a self-employed electrical engineer for 10y and focus on electrical safety, power system modelling and recently on solar development.
Donna is my favourite #doctorwho companion, but the Doctor/Bill run is the best run.
Its so good I have only watched it a couple times vs SO many of the previous series.
Yeah, me too. https://gizmodo.com/i-miss-the-handspring-visor-1836224245
"Even today, when powering up my Visor again with a pair of AAA batteries, I’m reminded why it was so appealing. I don’t have to charge it, connect it to a wifi network, agree to endless EULAs, explicitly ask it to respect my privacy, create online accounts, or dig out the passwords for countless apps. After a brief tutorial and stylus calibration, its app-filled home screen pops open in an instant."

I was adding the "reading" in photoshop, but I didn't bother on this update because its a #pita
Do I know anyone on here that uses #pelican and has a strong understanding of #restructuredtext?
I would like to use CSS to add a dynamic reading bar, dynamic in the sense that I add a number to the class to represent % done, for a book that I'm reading.
I want my reading page to look cooler like this one -> https://www.pagemelt.ink/published/
I need some reading suggestions, something that has a good world and is a series.
I am stuck in this Iron Druid series that I give a 4/10, but it is scratching my "urban fantasy" while I wait for more Dresden and Laundry Files.
What a moving article. I really felt this one. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/nowornever/what-are-you-doing-to-prepare-for-a-good-death-1.5128341/how-will-i-move-on-without-you-what-i-learned-when-i-talked-to-my-parents-about-death-1.5129634
Some really cool news for your friday
Something that I never can figure out is how I like my desk setup. See, for the first 13 or so years of my career I either changed desks within an office, changed companies, or was on site every couple months.
The place that I sat to work changed often.
For the last couple of years I have worked from the same place and I keep changing it. New mouse, 2 monitors, 3?, desktop vs laptop, work from NAS vs Office365, etc etc
Eventually I will stick with something.
maybe.
I have comments - Using Mastodon -> https://jeffmackinnon.com/commenting-on-blog-with-mastodon.html
My first ever domain was bluenoser.net; I let that expire so I’m stuck with bluenoser.me for my new social presence.
I delete posts on the regular, but my homepage is forever-ish.
I live in Nova Scotia, and bluenoser is slang for Nova Scotian.
