Trying out mastodon largely as I wanted to somewhere to post my learning to draw drawings, and increasingly annoyed that everyone's content is tied up in user-hostile walled gardens.

I just completed all 25 days of Advent of Code 2020! #AdventOfCode https://adventofcode.com/

Happy Halloween!

Lockdown mosaic.

I've just discovered the ClearURLs extension and it seems to be working well. It's amazing how much faster google searches when you can go directly to results. So many privacy add-ons needed these days. What are your essential browser extensions? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/clearurls/

I made a garden bench! It's shiny, and I'm very proud of it. #theweekendwoodworker

Lockdown cooking: tofu & king oyster pho. :)

Atmosphere absolutely amazing as our street came out to applaud the NHS. A wonderful level of support that should be backed by adequate funding, decent pay, and plentiful safety equipment.
