All notes

Notes are for small posts, links, anything I don't feel merits a full post.

It’s a lovely fresh crisp day here so here are four games with Impeccable Autumn Vibes. What are yours?

Forza Horizon 4 Moonlighter Dark Souls II Alan Wake

700 quid and they don’t even give you the stand, good grief lads

The PS5 Pro pricing slide.

I like Bluesky a lot and I like Mastodon too but mostly I really like websites tbh

People: there should be a social media platform that’s not owned by a corporation and can’t die due to lack of investment

Mastodon: hi, we-

People: no

Sad to hear about Cohost, I thought it was really neat.

Astro Bot is so so good.

Well Kato refuses to go near the cat flap but it’s serving well as a window for all the neighbourhood cats.

A cream blue eyed cat looking through the cat flap. The same cat closer.

First time I’ve managed a 5k in under half an hour since I was a teenager. To most runners I’m sure this is nothing but I’m ecstatic.

A Strava screenshot showing 5.05km in 29:04.

I’m sorry to say it’s just a very ugly cURL script! It looks like this:

url="$(echo $note | sed -e 's|content|https://www.joelotter.com|' -e 's|\.md|/|')"

echo "Waiting for URL to become available..."
until $(curl --output /dev/null --silent --head --fail $url); do
  printf '.'
  sleep 5
done
echo "Page is up."

Had a very cute visitor today.

A very cute cat looking at us through our blinds. The cat on my shoulder. I decided his name is Salami. The cat on my shoulder in a slightly less convenient position.
