☕️ Morning coffee and writing updates on plymouthsoftware.com in the winter sun at #ElementsCafe at Plymouth Science Park. #plymouth #devon #coffeeandcode

An office building with a clear blue sky overhead. There's a well-maintained green lawn in front of the building, where a paved pathway leads up to its entrance. The building has modern architecture, and there are trees providing some greenery around it. It is a sunny day, but some clouds are visible on the horizon.

@todoist.com was one of my key apps for life-management, but now it's going everything #AI 😞. Looking for open-source / plain-text alternatives, I'm currently trying out tasks.org + self-hosted CalDAV server; and a simple todo[.]txt file in @obsidian.md with Todotxt mode plugin.

Tasks.org

Open-source, privacy-friendly to-do lists & reminders for Android. Supports Google Tasks, DAVx⁵, CalDAV, EteSync, and DecSync CC

A nice surprise coming back into the office today - I'd forgotten I'd given it a clean and tidy before the Xmas break! 🧹✨ Diving back into #rubyonrails upgrades (☕ first, though), including looking at #ruby4 and how it will benefit the apps we manage.

As @firefox.com plans to become #AI first, I'm trying out @waterfox.net (fork of Firefox - no AI). www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-h...

No AI* Here - A Response to Mozilla's Next Chapter - Waterfox Blog

Mozilla's pivot to AI first browsing raises fundamental questions about what a browser should be.

I've recently been trying out @zed.dev for coding a #rubyonrails project. It is *fast*, and (seems) to render fonts very nicely. Overall really enjoying using it as my daily code editor. #softwaredevelopment #coding

Recently learned about the `!override` and `!reset` modifiers in Docker Compose files. Very helpful for cascading configurations where you need to remove previously-set values. #docker #compose #devops #software #code

Screenshot of code showing two snippets from docker compose files. The second snippet shows how to completely override a ports mapping (rather than merging it) by adding an !override modifier.

Morning coffee and coding session at Elements Café, Plymouth Science Park #coffeeandcode #plymouthsciencepark #plymouth #coffee #devon #business

A yellow/green mug, filled with coffee, sits on a wooden table. A small amount of foam rises from the drink. Behind the mug, a window with partially drawn blinds suggests daylight. A plant is also present. Sitting to the left of the coffee, part of laptop can be seen.
