Always use the right tools if you can. Several years ago our hardwood fence needed maintenance. It took several weekend, drill bits (because they just burned out), and blood sweat and tears. Today our hardwood fence needed fixing (different house, same fence type). 10 mins. Ten!

So there has been another data breach. Metabase, an analytics tool, was attacked and details of users from multiple applications has been exposed. Interesting to see how the different companies reacted. I got emails from a couple immediately. And others dragged their feet.
I was watching the partial eclipse we had through my telescope (with solar filter) and tried to get a picture through the eyepiece. Unfortunately it went too low below the trees before the maximum but it was still a. Amazing experience!
Why help fund schools, hospitals, roads, infrastructure etc when you just spend that $100m dollars fighting AGAINST funding those things 🤦♂️
When I return from spending some time with my family I'm going to be spending a couple of days learning something new. Something that I love about my career. It's also something that is scary about my career. But always learning means there is always something new stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.
There are time when just stopping is the right thing to do. On the way to getting bloodwork and pick up new meds I passed this lamppost on my bike. On the way back I stopped to get the sun behind it. It was so relaxing just to stop, look, capture the image, and chat to an older lady who was passing
Fucking hell as if receiving automated rejection letters for jobs wasn't bad enough.
I did it, I for my birthday this year I have decided to give myself time to listen to music again. Only it's not that simple... The easier music is to listen to, the harder it is to sit and liten to something intentionallty. VIntage audio, here I come! stacy-clouds.net/blogposts/20...
Intentionality | Stacy Clouds
If you do something, do it with intentionality. That is advice that I have heard from Scott Hanselman . I can't find the exactly link - but his site is worth a visit anyway! As I come up to 1/2 a cent...

Watching car programs is often a double edge sword for me. I’m a petrol head (well ‘leccy head now I suppose…) and love cars. But then I’ll think I’ll talk to dad about that later. And then my out of sight out of mind triggers and I remember he passed 10 years ago…

Here's another news story that will absolutely never be covered by mainstream media. When it comes to election fraud, it's always Republicans doing it.
I was going to bake bread today, until I realised that I had no yeast… so now I’m experimenting with flatbread instead. This should be interesting 😅

Stacy Cashmore@stacy-clouds.net · 2mo agoSince switching from Windows to macOS I've been vocal about the things that are great, and the things that I hate. But there is one thing that really annoys me: opening files with the keyboard... Enter on a file. How is that rename, rather than open?
