Interest video about modding the Acorn Electron.

Testing a Flickr shortcode I found here flickr-hugo-embed and tweaked for my own needs.

One positive thing that’s come out of the COVID-19 situation is that I’ve had more time to read than before.

So much so I’ve already smashed my GoodReads reading challenge for this year.

After watching Speed Cubers documentary on NetFlix decided to start back trying to learn to solve the cube from memory rather than following the instructions.

So far I can get upto the middle layer without refering to the online walk through instructions.

Cubes

0x32 (50) years old

So it’s happened, 50 years, where did they go.

I don’t feel any different (mentally) that when I was younger, maybe a bit more grumpy and opinionated, but that’s the benefit of getting old surely?

Interesting looking Pi Os

One thing I like about Hugo is how easy it is to expand its functionality with your own code.

For example was able to create a shortcode to embed Lbry.tv videos into a post in around five minutes.

First I created an empty file layouts/shortcodes/lbry.html which I pasted the basic embed code take from the share button on one of their videos.

<iframe id="lbry-iframe" width="560" height="315" src="https://lbry.tv/$/embed/this-new-fedora-powered-thinkpad-p53-is/097106eb68aebc90b33d83bb053467af942a8e20" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Then parameterized this so that the src url can be changed.

New retro game, looks worth getting a Commodore emulator setup to play it.

This style of game is one of my favorites, loved Boulder Dash and Repton.

With WFH since March I have been finding myself fidgetting more while on video calls.

Usually with a lump of Blu-Tak (other options are available), but got this delivered yesterday to keep my fingers busy.
