TextBuddy sounds quite interesting. It’s just a text editor for manipulating text.

A Swiss Army knife for plain text that is there when you need it and hidden when you don’t.

📸 day 6 / well #mbsept

The wee guy played really well tonight.

Steven Pressfield on breaking through resistance.

The more Resistance we feel to a project or idea, the more certain we can be that that idea is critical to the evolution of our soul.

I needed this.

Is it a thing now that in order to get concert tickets for a band you need to do a pre-sale sign-up?

The Connections game on the NYT app is quite fun and frustrating at the same time.

📸 day 4 / orange #mbsept

Not your usual shade of orange but I’ll take it.

Bah. Missed the start of the photo-blogging challenge for September.

Great day at Elderslie Golf Club with Ethan winning the Junior Club Championship. Well done big yin!

Finally, I resolved a wee build issue with my custom theme changes here on Micro.blog. Switching the Hugo version down to 0.91 did the trick. Regular posting can commence again!

Seth Godin on summarizing text with ChatGPT. I do this quite a lot when squashing Git commit messages down. Write clear and concise messages for each commit, then let ChatGPT provide a summary. I also always do a quick edit of the final commit message just to be sure it’s accurate.

Too much cloud cover over us tonight to see the blue moon. Fingers crossed we get better visibility tomorrow.

Just finished season 2 of The Bear. A fantastic show with a great cast.

Hope it’s renewed for a third season.

First try of the tomatoes from the garden. I’m sure they’ll taste great.

Hooked up my Micro.blog account up to Bluesky. Considering PixelFed and Mastodon next for cross-posting options.

I went out for a few holes with the wee guy this afternoon. He played well, but he still needs to work on alignment. He’s getting more and more consistent each time he goes out which is good. Love this time of year for golf. Cooler days, and the trees are starting to change colour.

A great day for Ethan winning the Fereneze Golf Club Junior Club Championship. Well done my boy!

Cracking views from Fereneze Golf Club now that the grey skies have cleared from this morning.

Trying something new here, all short and social posts will now come from social.matthewlang.me. Separating the social posts into their own domain will allow me to do something else with my own website. Don’t know what yet, but it means I can post a bit more in the way of short posts and photos.

A great Sunday afternoon out on the course with the wee guy.

A ZX81 mechanical keyboard? Take my money!

Wee yin watching his big brother playing a team match tonight.

Cracking night for nine holes with the wee yin, and he beat his personal best again. I love seeing him enjoying the golf. I can’t argue with the views either!

Started off the week on a more positive note with an early morning walk before 6am.
