Most unofficial patchers for CM01/02 crash in Wine/Crossover/Playonmac, so I’m excited that Nick’s Patcher v2.25 appears to work. I’ll test that properly later on.

Arriving back at Preston Station last night after a week working away in London. Found it quite disorienting arriving on platform 4/5, and further down the platform.

Heading down to London for the rest of the week for work.

Trying out Standard premium which, other than the 5km to the buffet car, is definitely worth the fee.

Looking across Rakehead to St. Cuthberts Church of England church in Burnley. A red brick church near Burnley General Teaching Hospital.

View to Pendle Hill from The Prairie Sports Village in Burnley. Looks like it will be a warm rain day today.

The Duke of York Apartments, Burnley - Another striking building on the Colne Road in Burnley, that features heavily in our daily walks. Apparently, an old public house converted to student accommodation.

Migrated and redirected my retrogaming project macretro into micro.blog last night. I need to build anchor pages to front-end the content well, and update links from youtube still… but otherwise completes consolidation of my online presence into this single site - hopefully without losing traffic.

I’ve been at a few clubs over the past 20 years, but there’s never been anything like this, never this many people, it’s not normal. Burnley is not normal.

St Andrews Church sits on the junction of Colne Road and Brierfield Road in Burnley, and is a landmark we walk or drive past every day.

I spent this evening perfecting @mikehaynes Outpost theme, having been defeated by it earlier this week. I learned a bit of Go/Hugo working on with @mtt Tiny theme during the week, which have applied here.

Podencos love the sun.

These two cheeky monkeys have just dragged that chair into the sunlight, and are now looking innocent while hugging each other on it.

I like the way micro.blog saves a lightweight archived version of the pages that you link in articles.

The atmosphere was absolutely electric in Burnley this afternoon, all the way from town, to the Turf. Feel so proud of what our wee adopted town has achieved this year.

Testing out micro.blog video, and a few photographs taken along the route.

Premier League!

Having decided to go β€˜all-in’ on micro.blog, had not realised that while micro.blog (hopefully) brings followers across, it does not bring followees.

Just spent 15 minutes manually importing from mastodon.scot / mastodonapp.uk

Can anybody suggest a micro.blog client for chromebook that works better than a chrome save of the micro.blog website?

The android micro.blog and Gluon applications do not seem to be available for chromebook in the Play store.

Created a series of emoji based filters to simplify my micro.blog writing experience - inspired by @manton video yesterday.

I’m going to try a micro.blog only approach to writing.

Though I got micro.blog and mastodon working nicely together with webmentions, I got tired of boosting my own posts. It felt like that complicated simplicity, sought attention, and generated zero conversation anyway. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»
