- The boys went back to school this week to start a new year. They’re growing bigger (and cheekier) than ever. Both bounced happily through the gates without a care. We’re lucky they love school - for now.
- We finished watching The Boys and have started on From - it’s a mix of Lost with some mild horror. It’s cheesy but easy to follow and so it’s perfect for half-watching on a midweek evening.
- I’ve been following the development of Fedify, a toolkit for building ActivityPub software, for a little while. I’m slowly getting to grips with the concepts and I’ve been thinking about using it for my next side project. I want to build my own single-user Mastodon-compatible server, probably with Deno.
- I ended the week watching live test cricket. I joined Andy and two friends from university for England v Sri Lanka at a damp Oval. We’d been watching the weather forecast all week, hoping for the rain symbols to turn into sunshine and, miraculously, the sun burned away the clouds and we had almost a full day’s play. England managed to throw away the match of course, but after several beers on a sunny Sunday no one really minded.
