Diary for the last 3 days

2023-11-13 22:08:10+00:00

Not to get into too much detail, but a bunch of long trips back-to-back to see family and to address some administrative obligations. Lots of driving which was mostly not done by me because the long-term lung infection is attempting to re-establish itself, meaning a lot of coughing of green gunk and a general need for lots of sleep.

Rare bits of spare time include working on a RSS-to-Everything* reposting gateway, which of course I am writing from scratch because I don’t expect a third party service to be able to deliver the level of control that I desire over content look & feel & appearance; also why pay for something which I can have fun building, instead? So at some point I intend to blog here and have it selectively auto-replicated to Threads, Twitter, Bluesky and LinkedIn; I suspect Facebook will need to remain a manual operation unless I start doing a “page” properly, which I’m not yet inclined to do. (Edit: this blog already auto-federates to Mastodon / ActivityPub as `@alecm` so that’s already sorted.)

Toddler was dropped off by P at daycare at 8am. Since that time I’ve washed 5 loads of laundry, and hung them all plus one more from last night, sorted 4 loads of dry laundry, plus done 2 loads of dishes and a bunch of other domestic stuff. It’s actually quite nice to have mindless time to do all this multitasking and yet background-think about how to solve code and writing challenges whilst doing it. Doesn’t leave much time for anything else until the evening, though.
