🌚 Week 168

Two actual nights out with my wife this week!
The first was to see The Bluetones in Hitchin on Thursday. It was our fourth time seeing them together. Our first was a very early date years ago at The Forum in London, the most recent was a lovely acoustic set in the same venue. Thursday’s gig was to play the new EP and plenty of old stuff. They were excellent. Mark Morriss still sparkles in between songs.
Saturday was at the local tennis club’s annual quiz night. Our team of nine improved one place on last year’s fifth finish, most probably because there were no anagrams. I answered a few tricky questions and even participated in the physical activity round. A few too many impossible tennis questions though.
We needed a babysitter. Our previous one had gone off to university so we asked our neighbours’ teenage son. He seemed happy enough to earn a few quid while watching Netflix for a few hours.
I’m making progress with my ActivityPub server. I’ve cracked using HTTP Message Signatures to accept a follow request. I was stuck on mismatched digests for a fair while, but after five minutes with ChatGPT it spotted and fixed my mistake. AI is unsurprisingly better at writing code than me.
