Turns out I was completely wrong about not being able to copy a gif to the clipboard. Not only did @edwellbrook@mastodon.social come up with a solution, I also realised something I’d tried last night did work.
🔗 How (Not) to Copy Gifs to Clipboard Programatically.
I spent many hours the last couple of nights tearing my hair out trying to make this work. I’ve written up all the things that don’t work.
Update: I was wrong
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - ★★★
After watching IGN’s Midnight Suns review I’m sold. This looks like a lot of fun.
Lord help me I’ve downloaded Obsidian.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) - ★★★
Ralph Fiennes is so good in this.
My Music Replay 2022
Apple Music Replay is a vast improvement on last year. I grabbed some of the data so I have a record of it (I have no idea if you can access a previous years data or not).
No suprises Hamilton is top again with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Leslie Odom, Jr. taking 2 of the top artist spots. Combined, they take the real top spot.
I was in the top 100 listeners for Punk Rock Factory and Goldfinger.

A new project for 2023 - seeking multiple collaborators!:
Letters will involve me corresponding with someone else on the internet over the course of a month
This is a fun idea from @jsonbecker
On the bright side, we have a new back door ready for a cat flap to be installed so I can stop being a doorman for the little princes 🐱👑
I was hit by a cyclist while walking to work yesterday (I was on the pavement), completely floored me. Knee is hurting like all hell today.
Dear cyclist: 🖕
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) - ★★★
That freezeframe at the end is ridiculous.
My mother-in-law made us an advent calendar of things we’ll need for when the baby gets here 👶
And relax 🎄
Someone (me) didn’t measure properly before ordering these cupboards so the poor door had to lose a corner.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) - ★★★
Denny Henke on the latest episode of Ruminate:
a proper, thoughtful discussion about Mastodon
Thanks @Denny 😊
“DNS can take up to 72 hours to update”
How about instead I refresh whats my dns every 20 seconds for the next 2 hours instead.
Ikea assembly speed run: 3 billy bookcases, 58 minutes. I am exhausted now.
My partner: Shall we book this newborn photoshoot?
Me: LOOK AT THE CHRISTMAS DINOSAUR
🎙️ Ruminate 155 - The 2017 Exodus
Decks, both Loupe and Stream, shortcut woes, and Mastodon
We went a bit longer than usual discussing Micro.blog, Mastodon, and ActivityPub.
In better news, the final carpet has been fitted in the lounge
Good start to the day. The oven splashback fell off in the night.
I just realised Breathe samples What’s the Difference and I can’t believe it’s taken me the best part of 20 years to notice.
