I'm considering doing something similar to the author, only it dumps out a html page into a folder on my web server and then updates it's own special RSS feed which my reader picks up and shows. Potentially with some disk space allocation type logic. (this feed gets 10gb to play with, once it goes over start deleting the oldest stuff)

Comment on Pikmin 3 is coming to Nintendo Switch in October with all DLC and a new co-op mode in ~games
rmgr LinkHonestly Pikmin is something I DESPERATELY wanted back in the Gamecube days but I didn't have a Gamecube. I may end up picking this up just to see if it lived up to the hype in my head.Honestly Pikmin is something I DESPERATELY wanted back in the Gamecube days but I didn't have a Gamecube.

I'm experimenting with getting up a little earlier and going out before work while I'm working from home and it seems to be less horrendous than I remember. I think the key is consistency though.

On my keys I have a Leatherman Squirt PS4 which comes in handy quite a lot. I also carry a Yubikey 5 NFC hardware security key which handles all my 2 factor needs. (One of these days I'll look at setting up my SSH private key on it too)
Other than that I normally have a little A6 or A7 notebook with a pen, my phone and my wallet.
