I relaunched my #tech corner #website (jacobscorner.tech)!

It's now hosted from @gitlab.com and using gohugio.io for the site generation. Lots of fun.

The #setups page (jacobscorner.tech/setups) has been a special treat to cook up with my #edc so far. More to come!

Gotta love when Currys haven't even bothered to properly input an API key on their third-party map embed for tracking #repair jobs on products you purchased for them. 😭

Hey @popey.me! Just wanted to draw to your attention quickly that I opened a PR for your website repo, as I noticed your account here wasn't listed with the socials. 😋

If that was on purpose please feel free to close the PR! Just wanted to make sure you'd seen it though as it's been sat for a bit.

I'm getting a strange amount of overtly political accounts beginning to follow me. Which is strange, to say the least, because I don't often post on here. Even when I do it's not usually that polticial.

I'm not saying I don't want them to follow me, I am just slightly bemused by the appeal?

Its August 20th, which means I am compelled, against my better instinct, to share a piece I wrote like 4 years ago again. If you like it do please let me know and maybe follow the site for more like it!

Gonna pray a rosary shortly for whoever picked today's @nytimes.com #wordle. They're clearly going through a struggle and need grace for it 😭😔🙏🏻
(And for myself not to be overly self-loathing for not getting it today)

@osloslowforever.bsky.social Hey! Maybe a longshot to ask a questionb here. BUT, I Just discovered SUN EYES today and absolutely loved it. Big fan of the old stuff too. You guys planning to release any more music in the future? Would love to hear more. 🙌🏻 😋

@davidimel.com I dunno if anyone has suggested this before in regard to #wvfrm. But I remember on occasion you mention vibe-coding an app called PiñaCoLocator. May I suggest a rebrand?

@wimpys.world, in case no one has made this yet for the latest @linuxmatters.sh episode:

@linuxmatters.sh loved the new episode of the show! Harper sounds like a god-send for me in many cases, thanks @wimpys.world.
Re: Mark & KOreader, I use that as my main reader on my Boox Palma 2 Pro. It's a great piece of kit.
And I'm sure many of us enjoyed hearing @popey.me's retro fun as always!

Tried to log into my #newsletter portal today at my local @waterstones.bsky.social, but for some reason it seems their wifi policy has blocked my url? Very strange.

As someone who likes to #write, I really tend to struggle with the incoherence or incompleteness of my own thoughts and ideas. It's like my mind is a kaleidoscope of conceptual shapes, corners, and angles scraping against each other to form "the way I think about things."

Sort of, anyway.

Feels like every two or three months now I hear about how #blogging is dead. Especially in the tech scene where I work. If you like something a bit deeper, are interested in faith and supporting #small #writers, maybe check out my post from last Friday here:

If my friends ever wonder just how autistic I actually am, aside from mentioning how early and obviously I was diagnosed, I like to show them this cup. I use it *exclusively* for tea. No coffee or other liquids allowed.

It's the teacup.
The cup made specifically for Jacob's tea.
