You know it’s going to be a good day when the calendar reminds you to pick up triple chocolate cake.

I like the new iCloud look. Those strings really pop.

It’s nice that they offer to help but do not give a link or email or anything.

If you had told me a month ago that Mastodon would be on CBC’s front page, I would not have believed you.

Technical question: My web site (WordPress) gets hit with lots of requests from http.rb identified to different Mastodon instances. Why is this happening?

I used to have the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress installed, but have since removed it. Could that be why? Are Mastodon instances trying to federate with my site? If so, how do I tell them to stop?

Dug out the archive of my old Twitter account and found this. Kinda funny now, seeing that mobile development has been my livelihood for over a decade.

I’ve been working on installing floating shelves from Urbandi in my dining room. A quick thing turned into a project after I discovered that the wall is rounded, which you can see on the left. Had to cut the drywall, shim the support bracket, and caulk the whole thing.

Happy it’s done and I highly recommend Urbandi.com if you’re looking for strong shelves. ✔️

@tootapp Is Toot supposed to work with PixelFed? I’m getting a JSON parsing error with pixelfed.social.

The storm we’re having is not great, but how can you not love the Canadian toonie reference in the weather warning.

This UI in the DuckDuckGo browser settings is a perfect use of the iOS sheet sizing feature. 👌🏻
