I can't mow the lawn until I find my propane torch, because I need to bend some metal pieces to repair the lawn mower handle. This is the kind of thing that happens when I haven't puttered in the workshop enough lately so it's a mess and I do not know where all my tools are. #Puttering #MaybeADHD

I have gotten two days of #puttering in the last month and they have been mentally restorative:

- Moved Mac mini and attached drives to the basement, promoting to home server
- Upgraded the battery on my UPS to extend runtime
- Upgraded to a 4TB SSD to continue backing up our shared photo library
- De-duped 70k photos and videos; found many more that weren’t imported for years
- Updated OSs on all devices
- Fixed up all Tailscale clients and settings
- Consolidated countless random files

Dwell magazine's Alana Hope Levinson has written a thoughtful feature on the joy of "puttering" — relaxing by carrying out low-stakes household chores — and you can read it here. But we got distracted by the language used in the article, since, she claims, "puttering" can also be referred to as "piddling," and where we come from, you certainly don't go piddling around the house. What word do you use for the pastime of puttering?

“Puttering” Might Be Doing Nothing, But That’s Something

Also referred to as “piddling,” carrying out low-stakes house chores allows us to reimagine spaces we’ve become sick of.

Christmas is now put away & swept up, and my pillows are washed & in the dryer. Taking a break before I start to descale the DeLonghi. An excellent day of #ADHD #puttering.
I wrote this note in Hugo with markdown-it-py

Blog post pending. But yeah. markdown-it-py preprocessing Markdown content for my Hugo site. Why? I don't understand the question. To find out if I can, I guess? Working well enough that I added another Neovim remote plugin to handle the task.

SSG is for putterers

Kev Quirk on static site generators: SSGs are really cool and super fun to play with – I’m really enjoying it on my side project; but I wish a lot of devs would stop touting about how amazingly simple they are, as it’s just not the case.— Kev Quirk, "WordPress Creator Vs The Jamstack" [2020-05-20] I often see “such and such static site generator is simple!” tweets, and wonder what exactly they’re comparing it to.
