check mail quickly via aerc and imap. I'll miss this when it's gone. $NEWJOB is a Microsoft customer and the login SSO ceremony for that often takes 5-6 attempts before it works.

move the bits of detritus on my desk into a neater pile to my right. First order of the day is PhD corrections. Well, I'll sneek peak my work mail incase there are any fires to put out.

Boot laptop, unlock screensaver, turn on sound card (external mixer), turn on stereo amp (mixer runs into it), switch display input to the laptop (it was left set to a desktop), hit super+p a few times until laptop and display agree they are connected. Write this toot.

Too many steps?

Good morning! I'm going to toot my morning work routine for some reason.

@sxa woohoo glad you got sorted!

@neil @dave That was my first one!

I’ve been to Powells. An amazing place. https://bsky.app/profile/johnmoe.bsky.social/post/3m2drtku36224

I have a surplus tex shura with soldered cherry mx red switches. My new one came with ANSI legends. Hence the question!

If you were to buy a second-hand, iso-layout keyboard, which would be better: second hand iso (GB) keycaps or brand new ANSI keycaps (with the en_US/en_GB mismatches between labels and key codes)?

@jwildeboer @sherbang I’ve been planning something similar, but seeing if I can make my blog’s posts first-class objects in the Fediverse themselves, so I don’t need to write a separate toot. It might require too much server side machinery for my static site. Not sure

What it took for me to reinstall Firefox mobile wasn’t for it to get better, but for safari to get worse.

Argh iOS 26 is so jarring, I might cancel my iPhone order

@fred yes those ones. They could be for CI! Build fail, red lamp turns on

@fred true. I need to capture some video of it. There are some good animations on the mathmos website. I love the look of their new “safer” models, as well as their tea-light candle powered ones

Oh it's Band T-Shirt Day. I forgot. I'll change into one later for ice skating

Not trying to be alarmist but I think someone has found a way around ikiwiki’s comment moderation.

Probably uses fewer system resources than slack or discord https://is-a.cat/@ameoverflow/115207737714331848
