(Re-)Introduction
Started an alt for @FiXato here on toot.cat to see if #Glitchsoc is a closer match to what I want out of a #SocialMediaPlatform, feature-wise.
So, it's time for a re-introduction:
-=-
I'm FiXato, a stay-at-home father of a two-year-old I often refer to as #BeardGrabber.
While I was born in the Netherlands, I've been living in northern Norway for quite some time now.
-=-
In day-to-day life I take care of our son while the missus is at work, and when I have some spare time and headspace, I like to tinker on my various coding projects.
Aside from that, I like to play some mobile Android games such as #PokémonGO, #Ingress and #MarioKartTour.
-=-
― #Dutch he/him from the #Netherlands
Emigrated to #Norway (#northernNorway to be more precise)
― I like to do #parenting / #parentsOfMastodon posts about our #2yo.
― Grew up with #MSX (a Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homecomputer to be precise).
Related interest in #retroGaming, #retroComputer , and the #demoscene. Looking forward to attending #demoparties again.
― #Development experience primarily with #Ruby, #Python and #Bash, with a general #dev interest in #WebDevelopment, #scripting, #coding
― #photography mostly focused on #landscapePhotography using a #MiA1 and #Canon1000D

Okay, cold tea finished off with some milk added, and now I have a mug of hot #tea next to my laptop.
Less chance of me forgetting about it, but I'll have to walk back to add some milk once it's finished brewing. :)
Yes, yes, I know some people will think I am the devil for adding milk to #EarlGrey.
I am not going to argue with them for being right about the latter part. ;)
Yay, cold #tea...
#TeaIForgot #TeaEarlGreyHot ehh cold.
#msx Track&Field 2 just arrived by mail. It came with a manual too.
The manual taught me only the RIGHT cursor is for running. --> So why have I spent my childhood pressing the LEFT and RIGHT cursors???? 😭😂

Been really enjoying the series of Let's Play Hitman 2 videos by Many A True Nerd.
I've never played any of the #Hitman series myself, but it looks like it could actually be something I might enjoy. It's also a #game that has the potential to still be quite playable after having watched a #LetsPlay of it, due to the variety of ways of taking out your targets, and exploring the lore.
re: pet peeve about shops
Of course they also didn't have the kind of diaper pants that we usually get for the 2yo... They had the right brand, #Änglamark, in the right size, but they only had 'open' diapers rather than the pants model he prefers to wear, and I find easier to put on.
So, ended up having to go for #Pampers, which of course is quite a bit more expensive.
With the storm #Frank expected to hit full force tomorrow, I didn't want to wait to check a different shop then...
pet peeve about shops
If your employees won't spot your tiny discount stickers, then please start using bigger ones that they will see...
Second time this week that I buy something from #CoopMega that has a tiny sticker on it indicating it has been discounted, but not getting charged the right amount because they 'missed the sticker'...
This time I would've ended up paying 4 times as much if I hadn't asked for the receipt to double check.
Overall I like the #Coop chain, but this Mega is bad...
Let's hope the grocery shop I'll go out in the cold to, actually still has diapers for the little one...
Oh hey!
I'm going to stream AI Dungeon at 2pm GMT. Feel free to come along!

A phrase read on Twitter:
«hot fixato: devs arguing about who broke production»
strokes beard and wonders what he should think of that becoming a #codingPhrase 'that should exist'.
Despite it it being annoying, wet, and cold, #snow and #ice can be quite pretty. :)
Guess what I forgot again?
Indeed, I once again forgot I had put the kettle on for a pot of #tea!
That's been fixed now; tea is brewing.
Place your wagers on if I am going to forget the actual tea next. ;)
