Today I have been moving over 30Gb of videos around my network, archiving footage from livestreams and other events.

A sign of spring.
Living at the coast takes a special kind of stoicism and hardiness. And a readiness to make hay while the sun shines. If you are born to it then it’s just a part of life.

Sad times for Portuguese D&D fans.

So, just starting to get my head around micro.blog’s new premium offer. It took me a while to twig that, when you set up a new blog, you’re the same user, but with an additional blog.
That means that some of the automatically set up things - like an About page - make little sense, because they’re pulling from your original user account.
It’s all fixed by creating a new About page. But it feels like we could do with more per blog customisation settings, if more users are going to have multiple blogs.

I hate chasing invoices. But it looks like I’m going to need to do it today or tomorrow.
Ugh.
Super rare night out for me - at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in Brighton.

This duck is stylin’.
Testing out the new coffee shop in town, Clubhouse Coffee.
Here are the small but dedicated band of protestors in their conspiratorial glory.
Bit of a “grab bag” protest in town. They’re against:
- Cashless payments
- Vaccines
- Ultra low emissions zones
- The World Economic Forum
I might not mention that I’ve been in the offices of the last one…
My paternal Shrove Tuesday duty is done.
Friendly wee chaps.
Evening light at RSPB Pulborough Brooks.
Water level a bit on the high side, then.
semicolons are a suitably catlike, noncommittal form of punctuation.
