Just when I think I’m out they pull me back in again. This is the latest I’ve ever waited to buy a World of Warcraft expansion but I’ve just pre-ordered. I had my doubts about keeping my account going but I guess I have a need to know where the continuing WoW story goes. Let’s see.
Notes
short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Updated to WordPress 5.5 and everything appears to be in working order. I’m reading lots of comments on Twitter about serious bugs but I haven’t come across any yet.
The SemPress theme was also updated with a better integration of Syndication Links and Post Kinds plugins. It looks nice.
The weather was wet and miserable today but things brightened a little when I followed a link to this album, The Stubborness Of Things by Peter Rogers (Bandcamp). I had one listen through and bought it soon after. My new “Good Things” Twitter list is bearing fruit already.
Who are the “sheep”? People that wear face-coverings to protect their family and friends? Or those that want to get on their knees and defend an economy that doesn’t give one single hoot about them?
Latest Homescreen
My latest homescreen layout. I’m on the iOS 14 public beta but I’m not using any widgets yet. I’ve removed all pages and I’m using stock apps for mail, notes, and reminders. The other apps are the ones I tend to use the most.
Tim Smith (1961-2020)
Sad but not entirely unexpected news of Tim Smith’s death. Cardiacs and Tim Smith made the world a better place if you were open to the music. The songs will continue to do that for me. It’s great to see all of the media coverage today despite the total indifference to Cardiacs in the past.
On a less sour note I’m reading and enjoying Steve Howe’s autobiography. The technical guitar talk is a bit beyond me but the early Yes stuff is really good.
I don’t like to throw the word stupid around but, holy crap, we’re drowning in a sea of stupid right now. It’s getting increasingly hard to keep afloat.
