So I've been trying out this whole newsletter thing. Mine is via https://www.getrevue.co/profile/andypiper if you want to follow along at all.

PIERS MORGAN IS A TURD.

*and, calm*

Spending a lot of time looking at Postman, OpenAPI, and various tooling, lately.

Off work until Jan 4th now.

I've historically had a bad mental health time in December, and this one has been no exception.

I wrote about my new WFH setup -> https://andypiper.medium.com/upgrading-my-wfh-setup-7b7f902bc17d

Today I mostly reviewed, tested and sent PRs for code, to two excellent co-workers. Today was a good day.

Goddammit it literally took 3 days before I was replying to Twitter notifications. Not so much on the Don.

If you’re watching Star Trek Picard, I recommend the comic book series Star Track Picard Countdown, and the new novel Star Trek Picard Last Best Hope. Very good. Very good!

So far, 3 of 4 restaurants / bars / “casual dining” places in St Helier won’t serve between 3 and 6pm. Really disappointing trip. Don’t try to have a late lunch in Jersey.

Automating things is fun.

Came home. Do not have keys.

“the economically irresponsible concept of a universal basic income” is a great way to start an article

Deleted Twitter from my phone for a bit.

I just joked to my wife “what would you do if I said I forgot my keys”. And then I realised I really did forget my keys. And she is 30 miles away. FML.

Pain! I can’t sleep. https://open.spotify.com/track/2suOJ3sAxe9wCAQvt3SyEL?si=dfMCLtbdQbGs28KkiASuoA
