All of the card machines at WH Smith’s at Manchester Airport aren’t working. Having to acquire a Boots meal deal for my journey instead. 😀

Busy sorting out my collection of house music to DJ at a company offsite. Forgot about all of the things you need to think about when using Rekordbox. I'm hoping I've formatted everything properly this time. 🤞

I’ve just watched Poor Things. I think I enjoyed it?! 🤨

Yes, I did buy gingerbread Kit Kats at the supermarket. No, I would not buy them again. 🤢

Fixed the RSS feed for my website notes this morning. @11ty.dev makes it super easy to do. Except I got caught out by caching. I must remember that dates are cached in JSON as strings. 🤦

A fascinating read. And scary too!
add to the list of reasons to never accept homework in hiring pipelines 📝

(on a more serious note, HOLY S*** this is actually a surprising approach to try and hack someone - and with AI all around... YIKES)

...and perfectly spoOOoky 👻 for today 👻

I hate to say it but I wouldn't have been able to reset the MacBook without Claude. Both an IT company and Apple told me I wouldn't be able to unlock the machine without the recovery key. It saved the day.

I have an old MacBook which is stuck in mobile device management limbo. It's been removed from MDM and Apple Business Manager but nobody has a recovery key. Performing surgery to see if I can sort it.

I want to stay up and make my workflow support posting threaded messages but it’s late and I’m old. I’m going to have to write a blog post about this too. POSSE for the win.

Just added a build command to my Telegram @n8n.io workflow. I can now trigger a build and deploy of my @netlify.com site. 🚀

Ah so you have to add an embed object to make URLs unfurl via the Bluesky API. A bit annoying but I try it in my @n8n.io workflow.

I always love the Adam Buxton podcast. This new episode also mentions the comedian Phil Cool, a name I haven’t heard since the late 80s. My brother and I often quoted him. A very funny man with a very rubbery face.

This note was sent via Telegram and should now be syndicated to Bluesky and Mastodon. It'll also appear on my website but I only rebuild it a couple of times per day so it won't be immediate. Check https://marclittlemore.com/notes to see them.

I’ve been really enjoying the On The Mend podcast recently after discovering it on Instagram. This episode on goal setting is great.

Setting up POSSE note syndicating using an n8n workflow.

On the train to Glasgow to see our son. He’s only been away for 4 weeks but it feels like a lifetime. Big hugs incoming for him. ❤️😭

A great article. Well worth a read.

I’m not really prepared to take my 18 year old son to university at the weekend. I know he’ll have a fantastic time and his independence will mean a lot. But this dad isn’t ready for his first-born to leave home yet. 😭

@theonion.com still delivers after all these years.

How the heck do you split up the oak planks in neal.fun/not-a-robot/ level 21? My son tells me we need to create sticks and split the diamonds but no idea how to do it. A brilliantly frustrating game!

I've just spent the past 2 hours trying to get Tailscale to work on my son's phone. A frustrating experience as logging in with his Apple account meant it created a user that could never log into my Tailnet. Lots of Reddit and GitHub rabbit holes and eventually using a different account. 0/10 fun.

Gary Barlow was in the year above and did O-Level music with my mate. Walked home with him a few times. Genuinely lovely bloke at school and he was a great performer.

This is fantastic! And frustrating. 😂
I’m Not a Robot, a game about solving CAPTCHAs, is out now!

good luck :)

I was in Berlin earlier in the week for some meetings and Pockets Casts had downloaded a few podcast episodes from my subscriptions. I never realised that adverts at dynamically generated in some shows so they’re now in German. TIL. 💡

I’m really enjoying going back to RSS feeds again. Seeing interesting longer-form articles rather than short social posts is fun.
