What I'm Poking Now
Creating
- Kind of working on rebuilding my personal website, mainly using OMG.LOL services. Trying omg.lol for pretty much everything but photo hosting now. Leaving that to...
- Moving back in to Flickr, to make sharing my photos quicker and easier.
- Should probably actually take more photos at some point.
Playing
- Timberborn. Quite new to me, but I love it.
- Chronophoto: guess the year from a photo. Like Geoguessr for time.
Using
- Mainly macOS. I've had a couple of attempts at going iPad-first, but the Mac is back as my main platform.
- M1 MacBook Pro, the first one, with 8Gb and 512Gb. Should have gone for more RAM, but it's fine 99% of the time. 2018 iPad Pro 11". An upgrade would be nice, but it's getting hard to justify when comparing to what the same money gets in a Mac. iPhone 13 Pro. Used to upgrade iPhones every two years, but that's harder to justify now, they remain good for so long. Oh, and an Apple Watch, couple of generations old; and AirPods Pro.
- As much as I loved it, I eventually gave up using my Keyboardio Atreus. Getting used to it meant I couldn't type on a normal keyboard, which made my MacBook less usable. I got an Apple keyboard to use with my MacBook on a stand, and use the built-in keyboard otherwise.
- Xbox Series S. Smol, cheap, and pretty decent, tbh.
-
Camera: Sony A7iii. Too many lenses, really, but I do love my old manual focus lenses with adapters. Especially my Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 and Leica Tele-Elmarit 90mm.
- I also have the Sony 24-240mm zoom and tiny 28-60mm zoom when I want things small and automatic. And the Lomography Petzval 55mm f/1.7 for getting swirly.
- Obsidian for notes. So good. Tried it a couple of years ago, and it was great, but just felt too clunky on macOS. Now, it works so much better, and it's really pretty too.
- Apple Reminders for task management. It's surprisingly good now.
- Nova for editing text. Way more than I need, but I do love a really nice text editor, and Nova is really nice.
- Mona for Mastodon. I know, all the cool kids are using Ivory, but Mona seems just as good to me, and it was a very reasonable one-off purchase.
Eating and Drinking
- Trying to eat less takeaway/delivery food, but I'm lazy and it's easy.
- Babybel cheese. Probably too many of them.
- Sneak.
- Coffee from Coffee Bean Shop. To be honest, I usually get cheaper beans from supermarkets, but Coffee Bean Shop does have nicer beans.
What I’m reading
- Abroad in Japan, the book of the YouTube channel
