Relieving some open tab pressure through website bookmarking

Today’s goal: reduce open Firefox windows from five to one ☝️

Home after two weeks and 2363km of road tripping across the north and upper south islands of Aotearoa

Why isn’t there a vinyl and record player emoji?

Already have a stacked cart on Bandcamp, the next Bandcamp Friday isn’t until Feb 6. I don’t think I can wait 😭

Early start tomorrow to head to the boat to head back to civilisation

Totally not going to be able to finish my recap posts this year, been on the road four days now #roadtrip

We broke up the drive with multiple stops, one being to the Orakei Korako Cave & Geothermal Park. We spent two hours there, got some great photos. Thought I’d post about it but heck, the kids are not having a normal bed time and I’m exhausted 🙃

Road tripping with the family is fun, until you realise that the kids sleeping in the car means they’re not going to be sleeping tonight…

Mr 4 is excited to put cookies on the plate with a glass of milk along with a carrot for the reindeer. Love Christmas even more

I love the mall at Christmas time

Saturday morning spin class is always like the hunger games trying to get your favourite bike

Imagine if you will, a world unspoiled by content creators

It’s Bandcamp Friday again, go unload your cart!

Not even 8am yet and the kids are dragging us to the beach

You know what i miss? That nudge button from msn messenger that you could press and it would violently shake your message window on your friends pc to get their attention and stop ignoring you

Keyboard shortcuts between macOS and Linux is killing me. I'm leaning towards wanting Command to be the main shortcut modifier, but Ctrl still behaving like Ctrl for terminals in Linux, diving deeper to see if this is at all possible...

Watching Twisted Metal season two and reminded about what a fire soundtrack it has

My face when a book doesn't have an audio version

I haven't waxed nostalgia over my early web experiences recently...

I've been thinking about bash.org a lot recently...

Happy Warcraft patch day

New South Park, let’s go!

Are “worth it” posts on reddit worth it?

“candy” by Mandy Moore is a certified 90s/00s banger. Don’t @ me

Hardest decision is what audiobook to check out on Libby for the 7 hour drive 🫠

Been sitting on this plane for three hours now waiting to take off

So, when publishing a post on your website, why don't you use the tag?

When all your holds at the library become available all at once 🫠

Not gonna lie, my XMPP chats have been going off this week

Do you pronounce it blog or b-log?

What’s going on, Internet? Feels like I’ve been missing and offline for the past couple months…

Played a round of golf (9 holes) today, first time in 28 years.

Wu-tang is for the children

I can’t stand “is x worth it” posts on reddit!!!!

Can AI categorise and tag my blog post archive yet?

New Miley just dropped!

Alright, I’m gonna need a non emotional, practical, and coherent overview of the latest Firefox terms and what actually happened and how to turn anything off… #firefox

Reminder to self: check beer of picking up from the supermarket as they’re most likely dated. Like this six pack that was best before September 24. I felt it was off as I usually love this beer.

Not usually a problem for me as I usually buy direct from the brewery… lesson learned.

Listening to Westside Gunn at 7am is definitely a choice. That I made.

I miss sitting on the couch and doing nothing on a Saturday afternoon

I’d love to own and work at a bookshop

I miss when your websites' sidebar was full of links to your friends' websites

Time to convert some open tabs into bookmarks 🔖

I’ve found myself making submissions to listenbrainz for all the little independent Aotearoa artist and albums I listen to

I absolutely adore the smell of a supreme pizza cooking in the oven 🍕

When you start an audiobook you’re excited about but you can’t vibe with the narrator…

I’m most likely in the minority here but I absolutely love the mall at Christmas time 🎄🎄🎄

Is Die Hard a Christmas movie, or is Christmas a Die Hard movie?

All cookies are biscuits but not all biscuits are cookies

Apologies if my bookmarks feed refreshed and reposted all 160 bookmarks as unread in your feed readers…

Way past the point of no return in a website (backend) refactor. Gotta finish it now 😧

The new Slim Shady records arrived

At a beer festival with the boys

Brunch with the boys

The other thing I love about my library and Libby is being able to read issues of NZ Performance Car magazine that I don’t see around on the shelves anymore

Nothing quite like hitting the gym and getting it done before the workday begins

Fresh raid lockout for tonight. Will we get Queen Ansurek down?

Nothing quite like showing up to a Mythic+ run in a single target spec 🫢

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up

I’m fully invested in this “dark romance” series, already onto book three of four after smashing through the first two the past few days

Going to have a go at some “dark romance” books with “enemies to lovers/hate to love” themes books. Stumbled about Tate James while surfing the library catalogue on Libby 🫠

First time in forever since I’ve been able to sit down with a cup of (decaf) coffee and enjoy reading some new posts on the iPad with no kids around. Very appreciative of this opportunity.

Cleaned the BBQs this afternoon. Ready for next weekends kick off

Playing around with a bento design for flamed fury’s homepage. Not happy with the current “masonry” implementation.

First day back at work after 19 weeks of parental leave.

I’m on the edge of a decision to move everything from shared hosting to a VPS

Must, write, blog post!

Glad I upgraded the PC for Cyberpunk 2077 to get caught up in the World Of Warcraft pre-patch activities

flamedfury.com now with #11ty 3.0.0-beta.1 🙌

First time at the theatre in ages to watch a grown up movie! Looking forward to Deadpool & Wolverine!

I should sit down and write this post I started three weeks ago…

Excited to be playing Cyberpunk 2077!!

SHADY RECORDS YOU BETTER BELIEVE THE HYPE IS REAL 🎶

Can’t remember last time I was this excited waiting for an album to drop

I’m off to the pub, I may be some time 🍻

It’s a BBQ kinda day

Taking a break from audiobooks while I catch up on a backlog of local music 🎶

Watching Buffy

a brand new Pizza Hut opened up down the road and it was so damn good

Abra-abracadabra 👏

Last guild raid of Dragonflight last night. Just have a couple dungeons to complete for KSM and then I’m done until The War Within!

New SSD, preparing system rebuild. Going to try Cosmic DE…

Weaving the Web

Miley’s new single, Psycho Killer reminds me of Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance in a way.

I’m off to the pub, I may be some time 🍻

Warcraft Dragonflight Season 4 is going to be a fun season while we wait for the new expansion. First awakened raid tonight.

Finished work yesterday, and from Monday I start four months of parental leave 😊

I really wish I had the capacity to play and keep up with WoW Season of Discovery

Tonight I either need a John Cena or teenage coming of age/party movie, any recommendations?

I’m going to the pub, I may be some time

Hunger is non stop after an early morning SPIN session.

During WoW downtime I don't pay enough attention to other games...

Love being at home while there’s wild weather happening outside.

Blink-182 Concert, let’s go

Did anyone else purchase The Killers when they actually wanted The Darkness? Just me? #music

Kite festivals, sun, brewery lunches, ice creams, miniature train rides and splash pads at the park make an exhausted family

I’m not mad that hot cross buns have hit the shelves at bakeries

PNC (local artist) sums up my teenage years nicely in his latest track

take it back when I was 6th form, in the Familia with the six by nines in

Too true!

Still didn’t get around to reading and bookmarking my open tabs, whoops.

I am busy refreshing the site though…

Kids are out so I’m watching Fast X with the speakers UP!

Half a day in the garden gives a similar feeling to a decent workout, satisfied, exhausted.

Indiana Jones, finally watching.

Refetching book cover images for my bookshelf page!

I totally forgot to watch the latest Indiana Jones and Fast & The Furious movies, damnit!

Blueberry picking with the family to cap off the weekend

Nothing like an intense weights and spin session to kickstart the day

Music festival tomorrow!

Waiting at the corner takeout for a coffee and the first song I hear in 2024 is Teenage Dirtbag by Weetus, amazing

50 weeks of fitness and pretty good eating and drinking to make sure that for these two weeks over summer I can eat and drink everything I want 🍻

The watch has come off for the rest of the year!

Need to watch more Christmas movies.

Ahead of the Curve last night, Keystone Master tonight. That's both of my Dragonflight Season 3 goals done.

Heroic Fyrakk is down. Our quickest Ahead of the Curve yet!

Outside weekend plans ruined by the rain

We’ve only managed to get out of town for one night. Over the hill, beautiful sunny day. Pity about the wind picking up.

All my drafts from November will now roll into December. Looking forward to finding some focus time in the mornings where I’m in a good mindset for writing.

It’s always a great morning when toddler drop off goes well and I get a SPIN session in before starting work 🔥🔥

I’ve had no focus time for website this week

Catching up on Dragonflight Season 3

Writing and posting about WWW things is bringing me joy

Participating in the default apps meta today was fun. I would like to post similar trends/fads.

Making changes to my homepage

Taking a break from Star Wars to catch my breath

I get the feeling that I should be discouraging bots from scraping my website

Running around completing the Secrets of Azeroth!

“It is critical that folks get on there and make the web reflect human culture, relationships, community.”

Did society fail to achieve this or is the current state the true reflection of society today?

This spoke to me “The web will reflect humanity if we put our lives online.”

Beervana 2023 here we go!

Implementing Webmentions to my website has hit a wall. Troubleshooting after dinner…

The Bear was definitely not a relaxing show to finish right before bed time

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 has me in tears. Same as when Rocket has a hard time in the comics. Rocket’s my lil dude.

Perfect day and conditions for a day of skiing up Mt Ruapehu!

Grinding away at Diablo IV…

Wrapped up my effort for the first 32bit.cafe code jam!

Out and about at the Greytown winter festival. Smash burgers for dinner 🍔

Long weekend away with the fam, including the 🐩🐩

Read (listened to) my first Star Wars Book (Bloodline) and loved it!

Emoting other players as you run past them in Diablo IV is hilarious

Now page developments are eating into Diablo time, but it’s looking so much better /now

Caught up on Platonic, what a wonderful show!

In bed resting and recovering us a great time to catch up on television

I am wanting to get back into reading a hefty sci-fi novel. Listening has been great recently but the non-fiction books are heavily outweighing my fiction reading!

Excited to be setting up and configuring a new DS923+

Ahead of the Curve: Scalecommander Sarkareth

My guild is looking to clear heroic Sarkareth tonight and achieve Ahead Of The Curve. Looking forward to a break from Warcraft and finish the Diablo IV campaign!

Dragonflight Keystone Master: Season Two, done!

Sorting and organising comic books is tricky

Smashing containers in Diablo IV

Diablo IV pre-downloaded

Aberrus heroic prog tonight

Great start to 10.1. Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible normal cleared week 2. 3 bosses down in heroic. Looking forward to tonight’s raid.

First raid night for season two, patch 10.1!

Sydney bound!

Installing WoW on the Steam Deck to keep up with patch 10.1 systems while travelling next week...

Boarding and bagging months worth of comics now that boards are available again!

Reading comic books
