Had three domains expiring tomorrow and I've finally pulled the plug on them slightly ahead of time. A shame, really, because one of them was really short that I planned on using for shortlinks, if I had the time and mental energy to actually start the project up 🥺

Conveniently timed, I've been slowly working on a fancy lil web-component in plain javascript for my website, that embeds a nice player for my .opus files, something cohost can't do 😎😎 (although encoding and uploading them is a very manual process in comparison, and needs two files instead of just one, using the very Apple-specific CAF (Core Audio Format) container, because the three-trillion-dollar company didn't want to support opus normally like literally every other browser. So you win this round, cohost - I respect you).
Oh, cohost supporting audio now is sick! That makes posting new songs here wayyy easier 🤩🤩
Anyways, here's the latest song, as a treat.
(fwiw I'm currently taking sick leave off work, so just wanted to clarify that I finished this at the start of the month, if my employer or manager happens to see this)

Without going into too much detail, I hinted about my health in a recent blog post, so now I'm going to take some time off work to recover, because it's gotten preeeetty bad over the last couple of weeks. See that "Todo" note I posted a week ago? Yeah it turns out I really wasn't kidding when I said "relax" 'cause boy do I need to 😅

Why is dunking biscuits in tea normal and acceptable, but when the biscuit falls off and at the end you're left with the slushy remains at the bottom of the mug, it's gross and you can't stomach the thought of drinking (?) it, even though they're basically the same thing 😏

Hooooooly - I had no idea stinky baby man has just undone 17 years worth of internet culture on his dirty smelly rebranded version of Twitter. Safe to say I'm happy to abandon it for good now. Follow me here instead! ...somehow

Finally cleared the living room of all the clutter and cardboard boxes (one of which includes the Christmas tree box I mentioned yesterday). I'm so so so glad it's done now, but also annoyed that it took a carpet consultation - or simply put, having a stranger in my house - to get me to do it 😖 It's so empty in here, what do I do with all the space?!
💬
Going into the loft for the first time in months. I need to finish putting the screws for the ladder in, and putting my christmas tree box up there! I think I've just been afraid to go up there for months because I had a squirrel incident a couple of years ago...

Next important thing for me to do here is set up the ability to post from the external server. Y'know, I may want to post on here away from home, as shocking as that might sound.

Converted all the different entry types to use h-entry microformats. I don't expect anyone will actually parse them, but it makes me happy knowing that everything is organised and parseable by the IndieWeb again 😄

Just woke up from a dream where an album's cover art had the front cover showing the artist holding a stack of cash, next to a man in a suit. The back cover shows the reverse shot where the man in the suit is holding an even bigger stack. Hooray for capitalism yayyy /s
