These are the times when one remembers an impulse purchase of a massage gun a couple of years ago, finds it still has a charge, and is thankful.

"Abizer, your time in position 239 today at Charlton #parkrun was 41:58. Well done on your 1st parkrun here! " And so ends my #running commentary for the day

Ran / walked #parkrun. 42 min. Maybe I don't need c25k. It's been 5 1/2 years since my last one. Time flies.

On my way to Charlton Park #parkrun which is flatter than my local Hilly Fields course. New shoes for motivation. Too bright?

Why is it so hard to get back to #exercise? For Reasons I've been completely sedentary and put on 10kg and I'm feeling it. I used to #parkrun, now I'm looking at using Zombies Run! Couch to 5k to build back up again.

Just a reminder, that Xcode supports EditorConfig files https://editorconfig.org/ It's not a replacement for swiftformat or swift-format, but it gives a consistent editor behaviour. #xcode #emacs #editor

"Just going to add a quick Org template…" Two hours later: writing a launchctl plist, optimizing daemon startup, and reconfiguring git commit workflows. 😄 #emacs

For some reason I just had to have this #travel chess board. I'm hoping it's easier to use with my books than a full size board. https://youtube.com/shorts/Su62G3_axrM?si=52aFSGshfqxt8y14

The next task, since my partner decided she didn't have enough to do and become Chair of her #Allotment assoctation, is to sort out their website. Which means a few days fighting with Wordpress.

So... I got my cheap Windows laptop, swapped it out for Ubuntu. And used that as an excuse to re-write my .emacs.d #linux #emacs

In other news - I just ordered a cheap Windows laptop to install #linux. I have Mint installed on a 2010 MacBook Air, which I don't think gives it a chance to impress. I've got Ubuntu on a thumb drive ready to go

I watched Season 1 of the Expanse, then read the books. And only after I read them all did I go back and finish the series (which was different, but excellent). Sometimes I get scared that a bad adaptation will ruin things.

I've been looking forward to MurderBot on AppleTV, but I keep putting off watching it. Big fan of the books. "The City and The City" is one of my favourite books and I still can't bring myself to watch the series.

There's a classic South Korean Film called "The Man from Nowhere" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_Nowhere_(2010_film) And there is an almost scene for scene Hindi language remake called "Rocky Handsome", which I managed to catch once while it was available to stream.

SwiftUI lists and tables on macOS struggle with large datasets, prompting me to design a custom scrollable list view with efficient view recycling for optimal performance. Details in my latest post: nilcoalescing.com/blog/CustomL... #SwiftUI #macOSDev #iOSDev

So, Buldak 3x Spicy Noodles. The first mouthful gave me the hiccups. Spicy chicken flavour came through, but the chilli was just hot - not any subtlety of flavour. Needed a little milk for the afterburn when I finished. Next time i'll add tofu and kimchi for a bit more taste.

I managed to get a couple of packets of Balduk 3x spicy noodles from my local Asian Food store. I think today is the day I have one of them for lunch.

Finished #TheExpanse TV series and all the books over the past couple of months. Tried another Amozen series - The Rig, Oh my - that was terrible. Good SF sets a high bar.

I've never used a literate programming style, but it seems that using org-mode for my #emacs configuration is good for organisation, and it also becomes documentation and a ReadMe.
