The neighbours had a Halloween party today. I went with the kids for a bit but their kids go to a different school and everyone was from the other school - kids and parents. It was awkward for a while then we had to leave anyway for swimming.

Installed Debian on server and set most things back up. Some docker services didn’t work - like silver bullet - for reasons I’m not quite clear on. I might just scrap it as I don’t use it anyway. Need to setup tiddlywiki again. Although haven’t really missed it…but be good having it available to edit should I need.

Reinstalled Windows 11 on the family machine too. Cleared out all the junk, which is nice. Quick to get things back again though. Except Office. I bought Office 2016 and it’s impossible to download it again. I thought I’d saved it but it didn’t like the installer. There was one on archive.org but seemingly not quite right. It sort of works as I log in with my work account and I think that makes it okay…as we have 365 at work. For a minute I thought about subscribing- get office plus 1TB cloud storage. But I don’t want that.

Tidied garage too - hours of doing but hard to see improvements. Need to sort out storage better, still using some temporary shelves when we moved in 5 years ago which are terrible.

Want to sell my old 3D printer but it’s such a hassle. It’s so big and who really wants to buy it? I offered it to the hacker space but no one seemed interested. Haven’t quite ordered a new one. Wife asked if I’d really use it anyway. I think I would but she’s also partially right.
