A fine month, not only for some great October weather but also for a long anticipated trip to Germany for the border:none conference and IndieWeb Camp Nürnberg.

- Ride to commemorate 80th anniversary of the Rome roundup of the Jews
- Attended a marvellous party for a friend's 60th

- Followed quickly by a hosting disaster that took two days to provide an answer I could act on.
- Medication for my old man problems
- Useful bits of garden work
- German trip

Stuff Done
All the little things mentioned in the highlights added up to a very satisfactory month overall, with a good balance. It would have been nice to ride the bike a bit more, but life must have got in the way. The frustrations of IndieWeb Camp were more than offset by the very engaging talks at border:none and the friends, old and new. Also enjoying Mastodon more and more.

Goals
Eight posts here, which is pretty good. Right at the end of the month I decided to look again at the six-box to-do list and I like how it offers you choices of what to do next in a more ordered way than simply picking something off an impossible list. Need to tweak the actual layout though.
$project continued to be ignored, and winter is still coming.
Niggles
I'm peeved at my inability to solve the problem of maps in Known and need to decide between really getting to grips with the code and just giving it all up as having no real future.
Final remarks
Life is good, despite travel putting pressure on weak spots.
