Movie scenes where somebody sits at a desk and casually plucks a few jellybeans from a glass bowl are the root of jealousy and wonder for me.
How fancy.
How organised.
How grown up.
How regal.
The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.
I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.
There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

Happy new year to everyone except those who prefer their fireworks at home in residential areas.
Lots of love,
all the owners of frightened pets.
Sleepily watching ET while this fuzzy little friend falls asleep on my shoulder and snores in my ear.
Raclette is happening.
Crémant is happening.
Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band is happening.
Excellent.

There are some movies that we love to watch each Christmas in our house. Do you have #HolidayMovies too?
Here’s an overlooked fave: Stardust
I've corrected tiny but annoying mistakes in my #Mastodon posts twice today.
An edit button.
What a time to be alive.
This also helped me stumble across @lene@front-end.social 's lovely website and blog where I instantly subscribed to her RSS feed.

Wow! This starter template for building websites with @eleventy by @lene is just brilliant!
Use it as a quick start, or as a great example to explore for lots of tips and techniques.
"Oh... you're a pastry guy"
— Accuses @DavidDarnes thinking that he's throwing shade at me but actually his hitting the bullseye.
I maintain that if @eleventy had slick, fashionable, whizz-bang branding and docs that gave off vibes of being even 50% as mature as it is, it would be getting much more of the attention and adoption from bigger players that it deserves.
Same result if @zachleat started dressing like Jony Ive.
Possibly also of there was an 11ty cocktail, but I'm less confident on that one.
Making something which is either rather crafty, or stupidly going to blow up my code and make me look silly.
It’s going to be interesting to watch how organisations deal with Musk’s toxic Twitter rampage.
Nice to see @glass being thoughtful about this.
1. I use Hand Mirror pretty much every single day.
2. @rafa fills this simple and handy little app with so much thought and joy that purchasing Hand Mirror Pro "generously" was the easiest decision ever.
It's nice to be able to sensibly pay the developers who make things for the things that they make for us! We *can* have nice things.
Having all too much fun experimenting with automatically stashing new #Mastodon posts to my private archive in GitHub.
Events and triggers and APIs FTW!
Inspired by @philnash — here's how to alias your #mastodon account to your own domain with just a #Netlify redirect rule.
tl;dr:
```toml
[[redirects]]
from = "/.well-known/webfinger"
to = "https://indieweb.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:HANDLE@INSTANCE"
status = 200

We began by singing In Flanders Fields which was brimming with emotion when sung in this very significant location.
Still full of pride and emotion after singing at the Menin Gate in Belgium.
We sang Danny Boy as a wreath was laid during the last post ceremony
The following night 150 of us sang at the 32,711th Last Post Service here at the Menin Gate in Ypres.
Moody Bruges.
I’m in Bruges to sing with my choir and it is giving us some stupidly moody vibes. Wonderful.
Today I saw what *real* passion and commitment looks like, when @DavidDarnes started telling me about the different levels of filling he'd encountered in various brands of mince pies.
