I’ve been powering through having a sore throat and coughing because I didn’t have any sick leave left and I’ve used my annual leave for my trip overseas at the end of May so I’ve decided to take two days off to properly recover rather than pushing through and find it hangs around for longer. It’s one of those things that you’re better off taking that time off from work to recover properly then you end up being more productive and enjoy work a lot more.

I’ve done a clean install of macOS on my MacBook Air and Mac Studio – I’ve been putting it off for ages and because I experiment with lots of different software, tweaking, changing etc. that I want to set it back to it’s original state. So far everything is working well, slight bump in the responsiveness. This is part of a larger project I am working on – more will be revealed soon.

I’m still following along with the work being done regarding Interop (link) (link) and things are advancing pretty good. On both my devices at the moment I’m using Safari at the moment (it’s the only browser I have installed) and so far things are going well but I always look forward to the improvements currently in the Safari Technology Preview making their way back into the mainstream release of Safari. It’ll be interesting to see whether the EU forcing Apple to open up iOS to third party web engines will result in Apple putting more resources into Safari to catch up on compliance and web extension functionality to close the gap between Safari and Chrome/Firefox.
