6am, I had this incredibly vivid dream that I could see some kind of other dimensional majestic celestial entity, I guess a being that in other times would have been called an "angel". I felt immersed with hope and strangely protected.

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.

It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.

One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

“If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!”

This is Alastair Sim, but I showed it to someone at my work who thought it was Boris Johnson. A) I've never been so insulted, B) Damn, I can kind of see what they mean, and C) if anyone deserves to be visited by Christmas ghosts, it's that guy, so...

Listening to Classic FM with the dogs because I can’t be arsed to get up. Never realised how utterly cringeworthy Jesus music is.

60mph gale outside while I cook mac-cheese and cauliflower-cheese and monitor the breathing of a poorly pupper.

Delightful.
