The memorial service was a nice experience – catching up with cousins I hadn’t seen in years along with seeing friends of the family I haven’t seen in years (the reason for not having seen them in years is because I live in Wellington and they live at the other end of the country). It was a great even, tasty food and was able to pick up a few knick-knacks for my home that mum will bring back when she drives back to Wellington.

I went to the Auckland airport and I have to admit I was tempted to get some doughnuts but decided that I already had my treat for the day – a kebab, drink, chips and a piece of baklava. On Tuesday I’ll be back on the routine but I’m looking forward to getting back into the office on Wednesday and see how the rest of my work mates are. On Monday I popped down to the supermarket to buy some blue berries, strawberries and some salad mix – hot weather like we’ve had so far it is always nice to have something light and refreshing for dinner.

I really do wish that ‘tech bro YouTubers’ would stop with exaggerated claims such as claiming there is a ‘huge problem’ especially when the benchmarks for the B580 given that it is clear known that to get the most out of the chip you need to enable ‘Resizable Bar’ so if you’re running an old CPU/motherboard combination you won’t get the full benefits. All of that was and is know and yet we have the same clickbait oxygen thieving tech dude bros on YouTube trying to make out that they’ve found the lost ark or something. Oh, and yes I would buy an Intel B580 or AMD GPU over getting an nVidia simply to stick it to nVidia due to their refusal to work with the open source community to make support for nVidia GPUs better (nVidia have a proprietary GPU but it breaks every time a linux kernel update is released).
