The first shift of #NightShift was hard, but I made it through. Lots of strong #coffee! Will feel it through the day today, but hopefully get some good shut eye before the next one.

I need to do a review on last weeks journaling and see where I have done well and where I can improve. Maybe write a weekly style review or recap like I have seen some other bloggers do.

I’m going to have to watch this new season of #BlackMirror! www.youtube.com/watch

Having a coffee at 8:30 PM and getting ready for the first night of #NightShift this week. It’s rare I do night shifts, but it has to be done. The first night is always the hardest, breaking your daily routine and sleep cycle. I should have tried to stay up the night prior by watching movies, reading the #fediverse or playing some type of game to start getting into this cycle. Oh well!

Back the the 3 and 6 year old birthdays - fun, but my body clock is saying take a nanna-nap as night shift starts tonight and I haven’t taken extra sleep yet. Better go do that now!

Ok, I got #Obsidian working! I can write freely within my daily journal entry, select the text I wish to publish and hit a shortcut. It will create a new unique note with the extracted text backlinked in my daily journal entry, and then I can directly publish that into my website and #microblog without leaving Obsidian. Fun!

Took the girls to swimming lessons and now playing around with #Obsidian and the #micropost plugin to autopost new thoughts as well as articles to my blog directly from within Obsidian.

This is one such post. Hopefully it posts to the default category I had setup!

Nice article about social media use that @theresmiling@ibe.social wrote. I fell into kind of the same trap moving into the #Fediverse. But now I am going to focus on my #indieweb home and have conversations with people blog to blog through other tools that work with the #ActivityPub protocol.

I still can’t tell if this account is being seen by you guys out there since I moved over from @samuel@social.familylison.com - anyone willing to post a comment/reply so I can confirm it’s getting out to you. I am not posting from my Mastodon Instance but from micro.blog.

I always get a little excited when @shellsharks@shellsharks.social posts his new scrolls. It’s a pleasure to read them. Latest one is up at Shellsharks.com.

The #hike was great fun. The girls had a little challenge due to the heat on the second walk up the mountain on its other side, but they made it through and we had plenty of supplies to stay hydrated and energised.

Off for a #hike to #WerribeeGorge today with the family. It will reach a maximum of 27 Degrees Celsius during the day. Should be a nice time!

I’ve moved my fediverse account to @samuel@samuellison.com as it makes more sense to me. You should automatically be following me if I did it right!

Please let me know if you see me :)

All my posts are now synced with samuellison.com and if you go to samuellison.com/categories/thoughts/ all my #microblog posts are there.

And yes, I have RSS.

Went to watch the new #Minecraft movie with the kids today. Was actually pretty funny to watch and well done. Usual funny acting by #JackBlack.

Caught up with an old friend over lunch with his kids. He got a new job. Very happy for him and can’t wait to hear all about it. Like - how’s the training? How’s the job once you pass the training?

My mother told me that my daughter is having difficulty with her homework and tutoring as she has an addiction to the iPad and in particular #Roblox.

After some discussion, I have put some restrictions on the XBOX to prevent both the girls from playing anything on it from 3pm to 6pm after school if I am not at home, as it seems that when both my wife and I are at work, the kids will rush to get to Grandmas' iPAD and run upstairs to the XBOX to play Roblox together.

You guys might notice me replying with a different fediverse account @samuel@samuellison.com - I am slowly using that account to reply from using Micro.Blog as it syndicates better with my website at www.samuellison.com and shows replies on my own #indieweb website. My Mastodon Instance will probably become where I #POSSE to for backups, or I may end up not requiring it down the track at all.

I can’t agree more. It’s writers like these, as well as @manton and so forth that got me re-focused on the indieweb and creating my own home again on the internet. I will admit, loading up my website and reading my blog and “microblog” posts and its replies coming in from people reading from the website or other platforms thanks to syndication and webmentions, just feels so nice and cozy.

Finally logged into #OpenSimulator and done some #VibeCoding on my #SurvivorCore RPG game I’ve been working on and uploaded the changes to #GitHub. Check it out at github.com/TemujinCa… - doesn’t do much besides track player stats and added consumable items (#AI did!)

Planning to go to #LakesEntrance with the family for the #AnzacDay long weekend. Anyone been there and can recommend fun activities to do?

Started the day off with a coffee and experienced a couple power surges today in the home office. Glad I have a #UPS. But I also purchased a second one for my #NAS as I really don’t want to start getting errors on the hard drives when they are doing their thing!
