    It's very easy though to procrastinate when in 'command' of a web browser. Removing the device removes the temptation. Typically I can be in the middle of something else, sit down …

    I can easily go a bit tab mad. And noticed this in myself ages ago. At work I vowed not to look at sites that weren't work related. And instead checked personal email/sites before …

    Quiet contemplation. That thing you used to do when you got an early night, that may have helped your brain get into order, or possibly aroused the senses, and led to panic. My par…

    The home vs shop bought items rings true. I can make a bean burger without much effort. And I have a good idea what went into it. But if I buy one, I'm not sure how old the ingredi…

    If I ever buy shop bought tomato pasta sauces, there is a flavour in most that repulses me. It's something I can't recreate with home cooking. So this post does make me think that …

    Is this a U.S. thing? Is it the same in the U.K.?

    Fibre is more than roughage, it helps nurture the microbiome.

    That's a shame. I was wondering if I could use a Pi0 with an old USB camera as a cheap IPCam.

    Configuration can be a pain. Sane defaults help and smart UIs help not to mention good documentation. I've been playing with some software over the last week that has wiki for docu…

    That's what I do. Once to get rid of food debris. Then start with toothpaste. Then floss, rinse, and a quick brush again with toothpaste. But sadly too little too late with my teet…

    I was excited to find your robot brick layer link, but it didn't look that great. There was still a chap doing some of the finishing work sitting alongside. I prefer the idea of pr…

    Wood is a renewable and a carbon trap. On site, dirt is a good choice for a building material. You can also use it to bulk mass. You just need a digger and some grunt work. See bui…

    A bit of web history, mention some static site generators, end by saying their tool is the babel fish of static site generation.

    Cheers, I have tried that, it might suit a symmetrical keyboard a little better or a tenkeyless, but the keyboard feels a little low still. And slightly wrong. It's the pointer tha…

    Could you repurpose a gaming chair?

    I had such bad pains in my neck and shoulders that I had to lie down alot, and from that position I learnt how to touch type and use vim. I thought the position had some merit, and…

    Yes but no but. Originally tlds had meaning but slowly became watered down for general purpose use.

    Well that sounds better. But perhaps a poor choice of name. VisitorId might have been more appropriate.

    Does she vocalise her deliberation? Or ask involve you in the opinion making? I love to be made a drink. And love a surprise, partly because it saves me having to make a decision.

    From my limited knowledge of BrowserId, it feels slightly wrong to me to place my identity in the web browser. What happens if someone borrows my PC, or I have multiple identitiesL…

    Off topic: Pocket turned up in my Firefox. I don't even know what it is, and why it's there. It weirdly replaced my Readability icon. (Goes off to read). Okay so it's ReadItLater. …

    I wish there was a sandwich I'd like to eat, but there never is. Perhaps that's what it is. But yes I've been meaning to upgrade my laptop with an SSD for about a year, and still c…

    As a Brit, then yes I think most people would rather a renationalisation, even the Tories. But it's weirdly complex, because Network Rail is back under public ownership. So the inf…

    I remember hearing or reading an article that said that suggested that making a choice/decision was tiring, and it pays to save your strength for important choices. Rather than del…
