Spent an hour yesterday afternoon talking Minecraft with my wife's 7yo god-son. He has only played the demo, but knows more about the game than I do.
He and his friends play it in the playground, apparently, in real life.
Closing doors and opening new ones

Matt, on the hill
After the first night, I can say that "dim" isn't quite dim enough. It's still less jarring than the red, bloody Eye beaming across the room though.

Spent a couple of hours this afternoon building a digital clock kit which is immediately better than my previous digital clock because it dims the LEDs when it detects that the room is dark. Win!

(The previous clock got nicknamed the Eye of Sauron due to its unnerving red glow. Had to keep a piece of card over the display to make it tolerable.)

Why Generation X will save the web – Hi, I’m Heather Burns

Hi, I'm Heather Burns

I think that's enough time arguing with dependabot updates for this weekend.

(Also, TIL Solr 8.x isn't compatible with Jackson 2.12, despite what dependabot wants me to believe.)

Sitting here wondering why the 'k' key had stopped working, only to realize I'd actually put i3 into resize mode...

I'm on a home-built keyboard, so having a key stop working could mean anything! 😃

Sunday morning baking: sourdough bread, plus eight savoury scones made with sourdough discard.

Fixed the microwave door this morning, so that's another small victory over planned obsolescence.

(I can't imagine those plastic spring hooks aren't *intended* to break after a certain amount of time.)
