Week Notes 26#01

  • A weird week being at work between Christmas and New Year's, but nice that we have a long weekend (Thur -> Mon) following it
  • Work has been busy (for reasons that I'll share at some point soon) and not quite the more chill week we'd hoped
  • Been very chilly this week
  • Now I have a set of the new Pixel Buds Pro 2 - as a present from Anna - I've been using my old ones for work calls
    • But it's interesting how the noise cancelling isn't quite as good as I thought, as I can hear the whine of the fans of my PC
  • New Year's Eve was a fairly chill time
    • Cookie and Morph were both very good with the fireworks, which also weren't as bad as usual so that was good
    • Not the best curry from Woodthorpe Tandori, but at least we tried it - and it arrived so much earlier than we'd expected 😅 (it was on time, but usually we expect ~90 minutes delay on NYE)
    • Watching Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2025) was also a good way to round out the year
  • New year means:
  • Made some tweaks to books-mf2 to improve the content-negotiation to result in a much better experience, which needed a bit of reminding how that all worked 😅
  • Our new Spode Christmas mugs are lovely but they're a bit diddy, so we've been getting used to almost instantly drinkable tea
  • Morph and Cookie were playing a bit together earlier, which is a first! Morph was excitedly racing around, and she followed him, but didn't chase him off which was nice
  • Was nice to see Auntie Anne, and help her with some of the old devices cleanup
  • Had a 2-person Cook Christmas meal which was very good, and so much smaller than the 12 person one
  • Had a nice date night at Pici last night
  • Packing away the Christmas decorations, which we'll finish off tomorrow
  • Watched a fox scurrying about before picking up Rakki Rakkas
  • Although we're on holiday, with the conversations around Ghostty's usage of Discussions for triage, I've been drafting a blog post about how we've found it to be useful for Renovate (primarily to get it out of my head)

Reading:

  • The Churn
  • Writing for Developers

Watched:

  • Stranger Things
    • A fairly good finale, considering how some of the last season has been
  • Love Actually
  • Violent Night
  • Big Fat Quiz of the Year (2025)
  • Saturday Night Live
  • Spirited
  • The Night Before
  • Wild London
  • The Residence
    • So very good, even on a rewatch
