Decided to "vibe code" tonight. Let's see what I can come up with. One of those things I always wanted to do, but never got around to — just to change scenery a little.

In meditation/ contemplation silence is not an absence of sound but rather the intimate, unconditional and wordless experience of whatever is happening.

From a security and privacy point of view, Windows Recall is one of the most stupid pieces of technology I've ever seen.

So we made it. It’s a refreshing change to back on our old stomping ground. We had a nice evening walk along the beach last night. Off to visit friends on their house boat on a nearby creek today and hopefully just chill the rest of the day.

On the road with wife and dog.

I’m thinking of upping my exercise routine to two strength workouts a day, one in the morning and late afternoon (targeting different parts). Followed by a rest day where I concentrate just on core (abs). I’ve been doing good for the past 7 weeks, so I’m careful with where to go next here. Worth trying and see where it goes.

I've been using lazygit more and more and have hardly touched my usual go to app for Git stuff, Fork. Really love it. There are a few things I still need to figure out. So far so good.

My current motto: "Keep it minimal."

““At some point, we realise all our little hopes and dreams for the web are pointless because it’s all out of our hands. And yet we can’t shake those dreams off, because it seems to us like the culture is so busted that the only way to connect it up is through the open web. Because the open web is open access and some form of the web pervades most of our lives now.”” Warren Ellis, Finding the web

The sense, the feeling of  ‘I am, this is, I am this’ is not the same as the sense of ‘me, self and ego’. It’s the difference between feeling life and feeling something about life.

Five hour drive across the country tomorrow back to where we used to live. A few days catching up with old friends which we’re really looking forward to. I’m also catching up with some individuals I used to support which will be fun!

Practice is not immediately remedial or about making yourself feel better right now. It is simply seeing and recognising with clear honesty whatever is happening right now, accepting it and being grateful for it.

The irony of starting a blog about my work just as I’m about to go on holiday is not lost on me. Tomorrow my wife and I are going back to visit old friends where we used to live. I’m also going to be paying a visit to a woman I used to support who now lives on her own and also a whole bunch of guys and gals I used to support who all live on one residential site. I can’t wait, I’m really excited. I know it’s going to be a lot of fun 😀 Back to work...

I accompanied my son as he drove to the optician’s to collect his new specs, which look good on him. Mowed the lawn and just got back from a run over the fields. Great view of the mountains in the distance. Just looked down and noticed my legs are completely green from the grass cuttings.

If you are looking for a Google Map alternative then Mapy.com is the perfect app to try. It is also suitable for people that like cycling and walking.

Discipline Equals Freedom. This idea is so underrated. 

A nice meditation group this evening. Glorious birdsong infused the sit throughout as the sun set. Meditation/ contemplation asks questions with no answers. Or perhaps infinite answers…

Bit of an intense day today. Waaaay too much caffeine (even for me) too early did me in and I felt anxious and jittery for most of it. Off to meditation later which will be interesting…

My Easter holidays are coming to an end. Needless to say, I enjoyed spending time with friends and family. Unfortunately I have to go back to work tomorrow. Anyway, it will be a short week as another long weekend is coming up. Sounds good enough... 😅
