Be9.ing launched yesterday in beta. Leave your To-do list at work. We are human beings not human doings. We are what we focus on. Consistency is key. Make sure you are designing your own life, and focusing on what and who you want to be.

Felt like getting some space this morning so went out for a stroll with the dog. Ended up walking about 25km - which I think is the most I’ve ever walked in a day. Feel it in my feet. Dog ain’t budging from her bed. Chinese takeaway ordered.

Switched Storyus from AWS Beanstalk to Render in January, but left my AWS instances running as a backup. Even the act of using AWS Console to deactivate them was so frustrating, that it reinforced how happy I am with that decision

Early start at Terminal 5 …. Which was unfortunate, as it would turn out our flight was from Terminal 3! 🤦

Someone replaced my tyre with one made of clay while we were riding. Life first : having to defrost the hose with boiling water before we could use it.

Most of the 18km walk with the dog were cloaked in mist… and then we emerged into the realm of sunshine as the waves of mist slowly caught up with us

Been running our own family-friendly social media platform (Storyus) since 2018. No time for any updates in 12 months, but over the break something broke and knocked it out - after chunks of 2 of the holiday days I've just ported it to another hosting provider and so glad to have it live again.

After 5 days of high temperatures, all over aches, being completely exhausted and feeling the worst I’ve felt for many years - finally felt improved enough to go out for a walk with the dog. So nice to get some air and see some sky.

I rejoined a gym a used to go to. Signing up they ask if my email address is still [email protected] I left Adobe in 2012 … so it’s been 12 years since I last went to the gym! 🤦‍♂️

Ben Foxall's talk on QR codes at #mkgn 50 this week was remarkable - creating a network-less local internet, using QR codes 🤯 One of the wildest and geekiest talks I've ever seen. youtu.be/mJnzN8pd8Gc?... (Filmed poorly by me, and shared with @benfoxall.bsky.social 's permission)

The family could not resist another take on #AdventOfPrompt Day 3 : Gingerbread This time a bespoke Gingerbread person generator. Got @v0.dev to use the Vercel AI SDK, hooking feature selectors with the LLMs, along with a few contextual guides. (passing openai keys via project env vars)

My take on #AdventOfPrompt Day 3 : Gingerbread Generated using @v0 from @vercel Love being able to leverage the env. vars. from a Vercel project within the v0 blocks - in this case the Flickr API coupled with framer motion

My take on Day 1 #AdventOfPrompt 'Countdown' I especially like that on my first prompt I mistakenly referenced the wrong film, but based on the description v0 guided me

For those wondering why I am coding on a Saturday night. Our teenager's birthday is tomorrow, and she has friends over for a sleepover and they've taken over much of the house! Also, building personal software in this way is a lot of fun again.
