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:

Who am I?

-=-
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.

What do I do?

-=-
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.

Overview in hashtags:

-=-

• ― #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

• ― also like to post about #language / #linguistics, especially about #etymology

• ― #FiXatoDrinks is where I tend to post about the #beers and other beverages I drink.

ahhh, perfect #cuppa!

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. ;)

#TeaEarlGreyHot

Yay, cold #tea...

#TeaIForgot #TeaEarlGreyHot ehh cold.

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.

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...

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...

Always fun when your favourite #streamer / #LetsPlay'er, #Kikoskia, pronounces your online handle the right way from the first time. :)

@dadegroot posted some beautiful pictures and a #recipe of his modern take on the Ancient #Babylonian Tuh'u:

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. :)

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. ;)
