After 10 years together Andrew @codechimp@mastodon.online and I had our big day yesterday and got married. 💕 The day was full of amazing moments, and couldn't be happier.

For my birthday I got a colour e-reader (Kobo Libra Colour). The obvious 1st book to read was The Neverending Story with its two colour text, red for our world green for Fantastica. But there don’t seem to be any ebooks recreating those original editions, they just use italic text. And all the illustrations are awful quality black and white.
Challenge accepted.
I’ve edited the text to be multi colour, and scanned illustrations from my old paper copy!

My vines have set a late pumpkin, in contrast the other pumpkins are almost ready to harvest I think. I’m stupidly invested in this little thing. It feels like an underdog getting a late start so of course I’m rooting for it! #gardening #pumpkin
The green beans (cobra) are being really productive, picked as many last week. #Gardening
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party The best folks are on Mastodon 🙂
From the garden today…
...and that (boxing up the laptop to post) is 20 years at the same company over!
Start my new job in the new year. Relieved. Excited. Terrified.
*sings* We're leaving together...
(apologies for singing, no one needed to hear that)
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party You can’t really I’m afraid. It’s safest to think of Markdown as text, that comes out a little prettier if the stars are in alignment. For that degree of fine control you want something else, actual html maybe.
I see Neil Gaiman is back in the news claiming a smear campaign against him.
I’m not even sure why I read the article, he’s irredeemable in my book.
However one interesting thing I noticed is that I’m not getting “his voice” when I read any more - which my brain used to do automatically. It’s like my subconscious has rewired to stop favouring him over other narrators.
In fact the only writer it reliably works for now is Grace Dent.
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party its really disappointing. Had been looking forward to it.
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party 30 years??? Now I feel old.
@ItsThatDeafGuy@beige.party I’m glad to be out of it, would never have the outdoor space if I was still there, work drags me back occasionally but happy with small doses.

At least I’m in good company in the disappointing tomato club this year!
