Congratulations to @paulrobertlloyd on the launch of getindiekit.com.… It’s an incredibly polished and well-designed #indieweb tool. If you’re thinking of setting up a personal website (you should!) then you should definitely be checking out Indiekit.
Oh no… I thought I’d managed to beat my Football Manager addiction. #FM23 is now available as part of Apple Arcade with cloud sync across Mac and iOS devices 🫣 apps.apple.com…
I’ve added Mastodon syndication to my website’s backend, which means this post should appear on my website (barryfrost.com), my Twitter account (@barryf) and my Mastodon account (@barryf). #indieweb
Because of the alarming events unfolding at Twitter, like many I’ve been exploring Mastodon. I’m optimistic. You can find me at mastodon.social… or my own #indieweb website barryfrost.com.
These increased limits are great news for young-ish UK and NZ people. When I was 21 I had a wonderful year living, travelling and working my way around New Zealand. www.bbc.co.uk…
After the poor comms from @heroku over their recent breach I’m trying out @render to host a Ruby app I’ve run there for years. I’ll be sad to shut down my account, but I’d rather use a platform that’s not been left to wither. twitter.com…

Tomorrow I’m assembling my team for the first time together in real life for workshops and /collaboration/ in a conference room. I had to dig around to find my Sharpies, Post-Its, exercise print-outs and an HDMI adapter. It’s been a while!
Nice try, Apple… sending a kill command to brick my iPhone in the early hours of this morning on the day the shiny, new 13 is released. Sneaky. The display flickered forlornly before it finally gave up. Thankfully my mobile insurance covers a replacement 😥
I upgraded to iOS 15 and so far so good:
Forcing myself to use Safari’s bottom address bar.
New 1Password extension is a big time-saver.
I tried iCloud+'s custom email domain support and it works perfectly, including on Big Sur.
Just waiting for Monterey.
