Again, fairly basic stuff, but tonight I completed the 'Variables' section of LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book.

My link post format makes much more sense syndicated through rss on to micro.blog, than it does direct posted through to mastodon and Bluesky. Might need to revisit that.

Fairly basic stuff, but completed the 'Basic Operations' exercise in LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. Largely types, casting, comparators.

Straightforward set of tuple and dictionary exercises to round off Data Types in LaunchSchool's 'Introduction to Programming with Python' book. Not new, but good to get into daily study routine.

Injured my back relaying the hens' patio on Friday, so have been easing into the orientation module to Launch School's Python path, then complete through to the Getting Started chapter of their Introduction to Programming with Python book.

I know Python pretty well, so just getting my environment set up, and soaking it back in.

Screenshot showing updated indieconnector mentions and responses queues

Excited to have installed v2.8 of @mauricerenck@mastodon.online's indieConnector, collecting responses directly from Mastodon and Bluesky. Now I just need to work out how to turn brid.gy off.

I think I have rss and microformats near enough now. I'm hoping to manually switch over to my bridgy user over the weekend, and switch off syndication - @lee-perry.co.uk@lee-perry.co.uk

Picture of a ginger dog with white snout asleep in the corner of a sofa.

Last post for tonight, Stevie on his gotcha day, 4 years ago today.

Hard to believe how (full sofa) big and strong this ginger goofball became, not least given that he was supposed to be 2 in this photo.

Picture of a black pointer in a group hug on the floor with his human, and his purple rubber dinosaur.

This photo, 13 years old today, is still my favourite picture of Mr. Mustang. He's really aging now - but is just as cuddly.

Screen shot of two safari windows, with the different representations of a post from bridgy on Mastodon and bluesky as described in post.

Two shots of the same post on my fed.brid.gy user from mastodon with files and tags, and bluesky as card only. Can anybody shed any light on what might be causing bluesky to only render the preview card?

Screenshot of the kirby panel view with file sizes and dimensions displayed below image cards.

It took a little research to find out how to display file sizes nicely on card previews in the @getkirby panel, but the appropriately named

text: "{{ file.nicesize }} - {{ file.dimensions }}"

query does just that.

Photograph of labrador podenco cross curled up in a small dogs bed on top of a training crate.

It should have been reasonably foreseeable in that putting a small dogbed on top of the puppy's training crate, that the biggest one in the pack would claim it.

I'm still experimenting with fed.brid.gy as a direct fediverse presence for my site. I quite like the concept, though I need to add additional content types for likes, shares and comments for that to work properly.

I'm going to experiment with using @lee-perry.co.uk@lee-perry.co.uk on fed.brid.gy to see if viable as main fedivers presence. Mainly to reduce time scrolling through crap.

Fisher looks fitter but more tentative and controlled, Allen heavier, and holding the centre. Fisher probably doesn’t stop Allen, remains to be seen if can outbox him for 10.
