I haven’t posted a school photo in a while. Here’s one from 1985, when I was about 16. I’m the one with glasses in the back row, second from right (and my best friend at school, Donald, is on the left of that row). #ThrowbackThursday

I run our portable generator for a little while every three months, to keep it in working order. We’ve never used it during a power cut, but it’s nice to have, just in case.

Congratulations to @aleen for the release of the App Launch Map Field Guide! I’ve been in the app development business for a couple of decades, but this was still an insta-purchase for me; I can always use more help in getting the word out about my apps.

The everbearing strawberries keep on coming. Plus a bunch of zucchinis (gave some bigger ones to the chickens), and some cherry tomatoes buried at the bottom. The roma tomatoes are starting to ripen, too.

Congratulations to Stephen and Myke of Relay FM on their five year anniversary! My favo(u)rite podcast network; I listen to numerous of their shows, and am a member (highly recommended, if only for all the bonus content).

I’ve decided to stop using the #dejus365 hashtag on my daily photo posts, since hashtags are a bit out-of-place on my favorite social platform, Micro.blog, and I don’t see sufficient benefit in using it. I still plan to post at least one photo every day.
