Played three Button Shy games today and it was good fun!

They're small 18-card games that fit in a wallet, and offer some surprising depth in the game play.

- Ancient Realm (Solo)
- Stew (2 - 4)
- Skulls of Sedlec (2 - 3)

Ohh, if you add the hearing accessibility widget that's built in, that gives a choice of audio and volume!

An improvement over the icon right next to it in my screenshot, which only toggles the background sound on/off.

(Please ignore the rest of the stuff in my menu bar, it's a mess)

TIL that you can enable background sounds on Apple devices (I'm testing it on macOS here) 🤯

16 options to choose from. It can also be added to the menu bar for an easy way to toggle it on and off.

I'm after a bit more layering / randomization myself (like mynoise.net) but it's fun to try.

This year I decided to start sharing some of the flora/fauna I've been spotting on iNaturalist, which is a global community scientist platform. 🥳

Mostly insects, but I've been slowly finding and trying to add some fungi too! 🍄‍🟫

If you see this, QTP with FOUR games that hold special memories for you.

I got it fixed for the next test 🥳 with some extra area cut off to make the tabs easier to pull, along with scoring the top part so it doesn't lift the page too much.

Making a board game advent calendar and fighting the Cricut Design Space software every step of the way 🙃 First cut lost alignment.

Love a fireplace to warm up a bit 🔥

What is the purpose of doing this? 🤔 Instead of a delay or further link to log in, why not just... log me in?

I waited a bit but then had to click the link anyway.

This was on the Escape Motions website. But it's a practice I feel I've seen on other sites back in the day.

Hike day! 🥾

Shoes were lost to mud, sand swallowed feet, and a slippery patch out of nowhere nearly bust my knee.

In a bunch of pain now, but the adventure was good 😊

😭😂

I absolutely didn't possibly do the same thing for some (most) of my notes...

See, no "sort" in this screenshot at all 🙃
November 9, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Might be time I got around to actually sorting some of these... 🙃

This is the digital equivalent to shoving stuff into a draw to deal with another day. I'm real good at it. Well, the first part anyway.

6 hour loop from 9am.

Storms here. ⛈️

Map showing lightning strikes blanketing all of Portugal. Just as well we didn't go on our planned hike today!

(6 hour loop in the reply as I can't share an image + video in the same post)

Lmao, Cricut wants to charge 99 cents for these basic shapes OR they're part of a subscription plan at 8.33€ a month.

Ridiculous. Glad I'm able to upload my own SVG files and that they didn't end up charging for that (... they 100% tried!)

The new Affinity app is a unified experience (Basically what Affinity Publisher was doing), letting us switch between vector, pixel, and publishing modes, along with a few others.

The UI feels very familiar and I've got no complaints there. Seems easy to customize tools, adding more columns etc.

No problems checking it with curl in the terminal either 😭

A few folks have said it loads fine for them no problem.

I've since connected my domain to the Google Search Console where it's showing one issue, & I've clicked through to try resolve it, explaining there is nothing on there but this 😅
October 26, 2025 at 3:08 PM
Update: I've attached my domain to Google Search Console, where it is displaying one issue detected and gives me the option to request a review, so that's what I'll do for now.

They know I'm biological hazard 😅

Uh oh, I guess this means I did something wrong in my setup 🙃

This is displaying after getting Caddy setup on my VPS and adding an index.html with "Hello world" as a test...

Looks like some (most?) of Sunday will be spent learning and trying to fix this.

Ah sorry to hear about the trails closing!

We managed to fit this one in just before our storms start. Nothing but rain for a while.

If we’re can’t hike next week hopefully we’ll have a visit to a bird watching spot instead ☺️

🥾 Hike day!

Today saw some extra adventure when we started climbing over fallen trees and scrambling through bushes…

Turns out the line we saw on the map wasn’t a hiking path, it was a topographical line 🤣 (in our defence it did start off with a path!)

Great weather for it too.

DreamHack for suits
October 23, 2025 at 4:19 PM
I'll be nowhere close for a long while 😅 But this is fun! Really cool features when adding through the website.

I have mine set to show me the common names in English, Swedish, and Portuguese 😊

Yesterday was another hike day 🥾
Found some mushrooms 🍄‍🟫
