Thanks. I'll take a look. It should be ignoring those files from the remote source as it knows it's going to overwrite them.

Is it beorg or git reporting the conflicts?

I haven't seen this myself. Can you remind me which sync service you're using?

Star Trek DVDs. Some in cases and some in wallet.

Star Trek DVDs. Some in cases and some in wallet.

#StarTrek left Netflix last week. My son and I had just come to the end of TNG Season 5 - a trip out to the shed and my pre-streaming DVDs was required so he wasn't left hanging wondering what had happened to Data's head. πŸ‘ for physical media!

Black and white cat looking out at cars with a dusting of snow

My daughter has been excited by the small amount of snow we've had, and been bugging me to post this picture of our cat looking out the window.

Feel free to get in contact with suggestions on here or Mastodon. Always great to hear how beorg can be improved.

I dislike going back to clients saying I can’t fix a bug. YouTube embeds in iOS/Android web views appear to be broken in locally rendered content. Will this be fixed, or is it a deliberate change? We’ve all been reminded in the past month with the AWS/Azure outages of the problems of ceding control.

UK Mapominoes game

Mapominoes, the English county variant, was played this evening with the children, my wife being at choir. A game I find difficult to remember the spelling of.

I’m dealing some years old technical debt this morning, and updating a client project from Mapbox v9 to v11 - and they’ve changed the APIs quite significantly. I’m not having a fun Monday morning.

I came across a new-ish iOS app this morning called Postalgic. It's a static site generator with a nice friendly UI that runs on your iPhone. Push to GitHub pages, S3 for a way to have a free personal blog. Very cute! Open source and a one time payment app πŸŽ‰ https://github.com/amiantos/postalgic

Ticket to ride board game

Ticket to ride board game

It's Father's Day so I picked playing the #BoardGame Ticket to Ride Europe. My son has the game as a present for his birthday a couple of weeks ago, and we hadn't played it yet. Lots of fun, despite me getting confused how the destination cards worked!

We've decided it's our #cats birthday next week. I'm trying to grow him some grass. Although he's nominally an outdoor cat he doesn't seem to like outside much!

My son got a number of fun looking board games for his birthday. I'm looking forward to playing these with him at the weekend.

It's time to try out my new bike. I've not ridden in 30 years, but want to go on bike rides with my daughter. I chose a folding bike as the shed is very full! First ride went well and my daughter was very excited when we went out together 🀩🚲

I'm really enjoying "It's Storytime with Wil Wheaton". The two one listened to so far have been great short stories, and an ideal length for a lunchtime walk. https://pca.st/podcast/9911a4f0-e72b-013d-46fd-02bb5ef11301

I don't go into Birmingham City centre very often. There's always some new big project in-progress to marvel at. Here I'm looking over at the construction of the terminus for HS2 and how it will link into the tram network.

Child riding a bike

My daughter had a bike for her birthday earlier this week. She's doing really well learning to ride. I was a little nervous as I didn't do too well teaching her brother a few years ago - but she's coming along fantastically! I might need to get myself a bike... I've not ridden for about 30 years 😬
