So, as my own personal portal to the #fediverse, I'm selfhosting a single-user #friendica (friendi.ca/) instance. I'm still learning, but I can easily connect to #mastodon peeps as well as following #RSS feeds (and I'm starting to reach out and explore "forums", like #lemmy instances.
Oh no! My 20-year-old minidisc-capable stereo (https://www.minidisc.wiki/equipment/sony/bookshelf/cmt-cp500md) looks like it might have given up. There was an electrical storm yesterday, and one bolt of lightning did hit quite close to home, but no breakers or anything seemed to be tripped, and nothing else has malfunctioned. But when I try to turn the stereo on, the backlight does not turn on, it flashes "STANDBY" and then turns off again. Hopefully there's something I can do to save it...
It's that time of year where one reflects on the year that has passed and looks forward to the new one. A lot of people like to set a "theme" for the new year, which is something I've not done before.
But next year, I think I'd like to set a theme of #focus
Focus is something I constantly struggle with, and I really need to step up my game.
So how does one practice focus? What does that even mean? That is what I'm setting out to discover.
This is pretty cool. Might be something to do with my kids on their holidays. Thanks for sharing, @shanselman@hachyderm.io https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSNaQyFE4/

It's the first issue. Do you really expect a witty subtitle?
So, what even is wireframing and how do you do it? What tools do you use? How does it tie in with the eventual "complete" design? Why is it even necessary? Wireframes are a crucial tool in the early stages of any project – the clarity they provide to your conceptualisation, refinement and features is unparalleled. They can come in all shapes and sizes (depending on your type of app) as well as a varying level of detail included in them.
You may already know Slack as the team communication platform it was designed to be. But did you know you can also use it as a customer engagement tool?

Well, this blog has well and truly fallen by the wayside...
I started this blog in response to the frustration I feel in things I start never getting finished. Things I’ve had ideas about or started, but never got around to completing. Nowhere is this laid bare more than my involvement with FoFiX.
I just finished my second play-through of what has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. An iOS-only game called Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP. That's "EP" in the same way that a musician would release an EP. And while there's no rhythm component to this, the music does play a big part. The music is from a fella named Jim Guthrie, who I'd never heard of until this game, but I might look up. I love the sworcery soundtrack.
I’d love to see an IM program for jailbroken iPhones with QuickReply support like BiteSMS or MobileNotifier.
