I am one month behind my PhD last dash schedule, but I have built in 3 x 1 month buffers in my time line. I know how I work. I know I need fallow time inbetween my productive times. In any case, I am in my productive phase. Today is for writing #PhDLife

I am going to work late tonight. I am very close to finishing another paper. If I get the bulk of it written, tomorrow will be all about editing #PhDLife

Mom was discharged from the rehab facility today and is finally home, where she's already much more cognitively present. She played Solitaire on her phone and got to the bathroom and back to her recliner by herself (using her walker). Sis and I assembled and placed her potty support bars, and Mom likes them. We have her meds sorted for the week, all her stuff unpacked and put away, and even though every part of my body is whining about being demanded to work, I'm so, so, SO happy!

Good morning, #HephalumpWorld! Tea is steeping.

A damp morning here at the ol' Imperial Palace. Kittys, meds, blah blah blah.

@Rasta
While I do lament the fact that the water here is colder than I would like, it does temper the air temps year round. With an Atlantic breeze coming from 2km away, we do not get the wild swings in temp that inland Portugal have. That said, I did measure 14mm of rain from that little rain we just had a few days ago.
in reply to John Sexton

@diverdutch We get morning fog or mist from the ocean. Our well is sucking air but that morning fog and dampness of the ocean is all that kept our gardens alive this year. There's ocean all around me. On Super Tides, the ditches fill up like a moat and just my driveway is the passage out. That moisture helps

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello Thursday. Well that was a wet and windy night! However, we have cars to pack and stuff to shift before tomorrow, so I better get my finger out. Coffee and walking Wesley first though!

Have a great Thursday folks, have fun, have laughs, take care. Today is "Smile at a stranger day", why not join in?

Today we have a photo. Tiny toadstools at Bennachie (Ben ah hee!). Enjoy.

PS. I made up "Smile at a stranger" day, but why not?

It's too early to tell how much rain we had, still dark. Good morning Norm. We've had a poor year for Shrooms, drought conditions. After any rain, we go look, but very few appeared. I saw some massive Bolete that were past their peak in the cemetery, but so far, we've not picked a mushroom this year
in reply to Rasta

@Rasta Evening @Rasta. Heavy rain last night but none today. Toadstools this year are very quickly eaten by slugs, snails and bugs. Not many fresh ones around.

Hopefully you'll find some edibles.

Cheers.

#MorningAll & #TZAG G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

Thursday came in wearing a Christmas hat they had just bought from Tescoβ„’ so they were summarily evicted for gross commercialism!
They've been let off the hook now they've taken it off & we are enjoying a mug of coffee together.

A sunny morning with broken cloud here in deepest, darkest Yorkshire with a current temp of about 9.5ΒΊC & an expected high of 15ΒΊ.

There might be a trip out to the surplus shop later if I can get my act into gear.

We're having a cooked lunch - the corned beef crisp bakes I got on the last foraging mission with baked beans. We have a free energy slot over lunch time so best to make the most of it!

Cashew later Peeps, have a fabulously nutty day #Today ! 😊🫢:party_major_squirrel:πŸ––

Welp, #myday has been quite the ol slog fest to slide through this morning.😏

Definitely one of those "need more coffee " days for me #today.β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ
The slow going, mosy moving, sorta slacking n sofa searching kinda days.🫀

But I DID manage to get my musta-doin Honey-doins done.πŸ’ͺπŸ‘ Though at a much slower pace than Heather's hollerings appreciated. 😁

Now, I'm just facing a couple more to tackle after lunch. Then I can seek out the sofa n get comfy on my couch and maybe catch up on a nap. πŸ‘ŒπŸ₯±

But first, to the fridge for lunchtime foraging and searching out more coffee for some needed extra sipping. πŸ˜‹

Hope y'all are dealing better with your hump jumping today. πŸ––πŸ˜Š

ADVANCE NOTICE...

Good news: After tomorrow, 12th September, I shall be without mobile and WiFi signal, so I won't be bothering you all, sticking my nose into your timeline or posting stupid jokes. It's moving house day.

Bad news:

I’m waiting for the sun to appear. It’s soggy outside but at least the rain has moved on. It’ll be a quiet day ahead. 😊

Hugs to you! ❀️ πŸ₯°

More sketches in my black sketchbook. This time with soft pastel pencils. This might be my favorite material so far. They pop and I can still work precise with them. I hope you enjoy seeing my experiments. For me it has been fun to work with supplies I haven’t worked with for years. #Art

I had a bit of time to spare, so I looked into Forgejo Actions.
😬
It's not for me.
I can't stand the GitHub "actions" with their versions syntax. I'm fine with YAML, but I like using Woodpecker more, where I can just throw in a container name and know exactly what environment I'm running commands in.
My idea was to move my workflows off of Codeberg's infrastructure. I'm not using much computing power, but I run jobs daily to check for package updates. Maybe I'll just set up my own Woodpecker instance. πŸ€”
in reply to ilyess

mostly bash and regular Linux commands. Most of my little tools are written in Go and if you run go get in a Go project, it'll pull down the latest dependencies.
Here's an example pipeline

codeberg.org/rluetzner/advent-…

. Most of the magic happens in create-codeberg-pull-request.sh which checks if files were modified in the Git repo and if so will open a pull request with the changes.

Here's another version of the script for a custom Docker image I use

codeberg.org/rluetzner/docker-…

. It checks if a newer base image is available and if so will update the Dockerfile and open a pull request.

Morning run, a combination of road and tracks up to Fatlips Castle. 10.5k, mainly rolling except for a short stiff climb up to the peel tower. After overnight rain, a lovely sky and perfect temperatures.

:kirby_prideheart: Ello sweet and lovely Friendos :purple_heart_sparkle:

This morning I've been asked to doggy sit two choccy Labs for about 10 days. They're two ladies, age 10 & 6. They belong to my ex BF and his partner. His partner breeds with choccy Labs, and I am on her waiting list to hopefully be able to adopt a choccy lady next year.

It will be weird to have two choccy ladies in my house. I don't really know these ladies, I've seen them several times. But never been on my own with them.

I'm sure they will behave themselves and all that. I do hope that I will be able to give them the care and attention that they need.

But it will also be difficult to be with two choccy galls again... Some memories and all that...

Don't know the dates yet, waiting for more details. 🐾

So yeah, let's see if I will be doggy sitting soon. 😊

Aww I hope it goes well. I’m sure it will. I bet they’ll be great company. Just hope not too hard, emotionally πŸ’š

@AnAutieAtUni
Fankoos 🫢🏻 yeah they will probably be great company. And it will give me some purpose again for a while. It's a good sign that she trusts me with her galls as well. 😊 As I do hope to be able to get a puppy from her next nest next year... But I guess it can be a bit emotional at times as well yeah... πŸ’œ

We should normalise wearing name tags at any party or social gathering with more than three to six people.

Yes, even ones where people supposedly already know each other.

For some things I have a memory that consistently impresses most people. Or at least used to. For remembering names, and especially matching them with faces? Or even matching faces/names to people I know e.g. online? I'm abysmal and it causes me a lot of stress even in social settings where people like me and I like people.

Yes! Clearly printed in a large font. And for badges on lanyards, print both sides so they're not hidden 50% of the time. Including pronouns too wouldn't hurt.
in reply to diana πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ¦‹πŸŒ±

@dianea @undefined_variable Electronic badges would be ideal, so the battery level can be adjusted, gender fluid people can update their pronouns, plural systems can show who's currently fronting, and they could be wirelessly accessible for people with visual impairments.
in reply to Cheshire (Alicja, Artemida and Mara)

years ago I read a "helpful hint" that boiled down to: form a sensible association between (a) the person's name and (b) the situation in which you met. A word-association-thing to ensure that you will you remember the name.

I tried it, once, at parties. At the second party, I clearly and correctly remembered the person's name:

Fridge Face.

Yes, that's it. You were standing in front of a tall fridge when we met, and chatted. You are Fridge Face.
