Hey, thanks for adding me, Tynan! Some great inspiration on that list.
Weekend by the lake, We stayed in a cabin in a Gloucestershire nature reserve, with Log House Holidays https://loghouseholidays.co.uk 📍 Monty's Retreat, Cotswold District, England, GB #GrainSocial https://grain.social/profile/did:plc:j5ksi3y4tdtbp7vpsxsfyask/gallery/3msanqlduwx2e
New post - I've rebuilt my website with @astro.build on top of #atproto, pulling in my data from across the Atmosphere. It's been a fun project and I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.
Introducing my new website and its atproto-centric approach.

Thanks for writing this up, Olly. I always find it fascinating reading behind-the-scenes articles of web services: latency considerations, edge cases with certs, minimising downtime, etc.
After watching Succession and now The Sheep Detectives, I’m not sure whose accent is best: Nicholas Braun’s English or Matthew Macfadyen’s American. Nick might have edged it.
I'm obsessed with Allan Peters' brand logo redesign videos, especially his use of paper cut-outs to show his process with typography and negative space. He then mocks up how they might look on clothing and in patterns. Addictive. www.youtube.com/@allangregor...
Although I’m closely following #atproto lately, intrigued to see two new open web launches: hypertexting.com and rss.chat

Great to see you again too. Best wishes for your job/house stress. I hope it all gets resolved swiftly.
New evening activity: waiting anxiously for the outside temperature to drop below indoors to then fling open all the windows and curtains 🥵 #heatwave
Standard Reader is not only a really well-designed reader for atmosphere posts, but a killer way of discovering and following new publications. I've added it to my daily reading links.

Happy to hear that Last.fm is now independent and remains intact. My 22 years of scrobbles are safe. It's still the first place I go to research gigs.
Last.fm @last.fm
It's been a big week, and the response so far has been incredible. Thank you 🤘 https://support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is-now-independent/118591

As a tormented Arsenal fan, thank you Ryan for helping us win. I knew you worked miracles with Bridgy, but I didn't know your divine powers extended to Premier League matches!
I've been using @talat.app for a few weeks for transcribing meetings locally on my Mac. Works nicely with my Claude workflow via its MCP connector, calendar integration and speaker detection. One-off payment, no subscription. Recommended.
v0.11.0 is out, and since we were too busy to announce v0.10.0 properly, let's do that too: hellooo new design! There's too much to cover in a single post, but you can read the details over at talat.app/changelog, and take a look at some of the updated screenshots below 👇
Now it makes sense why Fox McCloud was shoe-horned into the Super Mario Galaxy film: a new Star Fox game is coming. www.theverge.com/entertainmen...
Because GitHub Actions have become so unreliable, I've moved a site's scheduled tasks from a scheduled workflow to use Cloudflare's cron triggers. They now correctly run every 15m on CF rather than (maybe) every 2-4h on GH.
I took my kids to see Super Mario Galaxy today. We all loved it. It’s light on storyline, but it’s fun, well-paced for children and packs in so many characters and little touches from the games.
