Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>I bought some hard drives from <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Newegg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Newegg</span></a> yesterday and once again fell into the trap of forgetting to uncheck the subscribe checkbox they check by default and starting to get <a href="https://federate.social/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spam</span></a> from them within minutes of checking out.<br>No more!

Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p>I got tired of Google Contacts sending me to Gmail when I clicked on an email link instead of opening a new message in my default email app, so I wrote a <a href="https://federate.social/tags/TamperMonkey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TamperMonkey</span></a> script to fix it:<br><a href="https://blog.kamens.us/2025/02/02/tampermonkey-script-to-un-gmail-google-contacts/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.kamens.us/2025/02/02/tamp</span><span class="invisible">ermonkey-script-to-un-gmail-google-contacts/</span></a><br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/DidAThingClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DidAThingClub</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/didathingclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>didathingclub</span></a></span></p>

ink and yarn<p>Despite being a little intimidated, I tried out my new paints with some wee mushrooms! I also tried painting some leaves and stuff but they look more like blobs than leaves. This is going to take some practice - but I'm absolutely in love with the texture and granulation. :)</p><p><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/Watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Watercolor</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MastoArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastoArt</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/inkthusiasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>inkthusiasm</span></a> <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/DidAThingClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DidAThingClub</span></a></p>
Alfred Chow - Maker of Things<p>Yesterday, I took out the door that formed the 'air lock' outside the kitchen door. </p><p>This afternoon we cleared out a load of stuff in that space, for the bin and charity shop piles. I removed the hanging rails, the plaster boards, and the wiring. Then dismantled the stud wall timbers. It can all be reused later.<br>The space has been cleaned up a bit, and the wiring strung up out of the way for now.</p><p>I also cleaned off a dry wipe board, of design ideas and notes, and that is now the 'Jobs on the house' list.</p><p>These are all things I could have done ages ago, but the inertia of life meant that it didn't happen.

Alfred Chow - Maker of Things<p>Outside our kitchen door there is a second door effectively forming a small 'airlock' type space at the end of that bit of hallway.</p><p>I put it in when the kitchen was my bedsit, over 20 years ago, and I wanted a separating door for when I turned the rest of the house into a rental. I never did that.</p><p>Today I took that door out.</p><p>I have a bit of wiring to move for light switches, and then the wall will come out too.</p><p>I guess that counts for <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/DidAThingClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DidAThingClub</span></a> </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/didathingclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>didathingclub</span></a></span></p>
