It is my thirty eighth birthday. I am opening the gifts of socks and a novelty dad mug. I am happy for these gifts. In one hour and twenty nine minutes I will eat too many chocolates and feel slightly sick

I'm putting the finishing touches to my new freelance web development site, to replace what's currently on solarise.dev (always a bit of a placeholder)

One of my favourite Bluesky bugs currently is when I go to post an image but instead it pastes the entire base64 encoded text of it.
