So it would appear I've lost my Jedi Skills!! New external Samsung SSD ordered, nothing important on the drive, most of which I can get back from backups elsewere and the rest is probably stuff I could have cleared off ages ago.

So tried to resurrect an external HDD this afternoon. I dropped it from waist height to carpet. When I plugged it into the laptop I was greeted with the bleep sound of the read arm motor initialising and not being able to reset the arm position. I thought read arm is stuck just needs moving. When I plugged it back in after removing the case & moving arm back to the edge of the platter. The arm did move & the drive span up however it just seeked for 5mins. & went into power save not mounting.

Ordinarily I would complain about 2 weeks of non stop sunshine here in Blity but I would like to catch up on some sleep right now. Taking Mum out for Birthday meal in a couple of hours and not feeling on best form to be honest 🤯

So I guess Mastodon and GNUSocial instances aren't always compatible with each other, tried to subscribe to @timttmy and @jezra again and I'm still getting the elephant t"£ting the keyboard. Not criticising considering I couldn't even get GNUSocial to work well for me.

Is anyone using GNU Social/Mastodon on their Android device, if so can anyone recommend a decent app to use, currently using Tootdon, but it doesn't seem to update the timeline automatically. I have to manually refresh it, or is there a setting I'm not aware of?

Well, it would appear I'm well behind the curve. But it's good to reconnect with alot of you Identi.ca bods I've not heard from in a long while. 👌
