For the last couple of years, the cover to our dishwasher’s soap dispenser has had a hair-trigger open button. Now it has developed the opposite problem – you have to really mash it to get the cover to open 🤪

It is unseasonably warm this weekend so I nipped out to the woods. Feels a bit incongruous for it to be 50°F while everything is asleep for the season

Installing the driver for my Epson scanner on Ubuntu felt so sketchy. They bounce you through 3 websites before you get to the download wherein you get a tarball with an install script in it… It worked, at least

Installed a DF0/DF1 switch in my Amiga 1000 so that I don’t have to depend on its cranky barely working floppy anymore. It is an extremely tight fit, but this switch from AmigaKit fits next to the WCS daughter board
