I had a great day today which started by getting up at around 11am, washed some clothes and hung them up on the clothes rack to dry inside, I then cleaned the bathroom and the logged into my computer to see if there were any updates. Apple had released a 26.5.2 update which fixes some pretty serious security vulnerabilities (link) with most of the fixes relating to fixing vulnerabilities in WebKit along the kernel too.
I looked online to find out why my Ikea order is taking so long and it appears that one of the duvet covers I ordered has run out so they’re having to order in more stock. Oh well, there isn’t any rush but it would have been nice to know when I placed the bet by making sure that the stock level on the website is being updated in real time to avoid the situation of buying something only to find that there are going to be delays.
Over the next few days there will be the release of Safari Technology Preview 247 along with an update to Chrome which will push up to 150. There is also patch Tuesday on 14 July with reports that it’ll be a big bug and feature update (link) so that will be interesting when it is enabled on my work computer.
I’ve got a few things that I love now but I hated when I was younger. When I was young I hated the idea of getting practical gifts such as socks or underwear but now that I am older when someone gives me them for Christmas or my birthday it really does make me a whole lot happier than something that doesn’t serve a practical purpose. I think to a lesser extent these days I am less excited about going down the road to the shops than I was when I was young because I guess when I was young there was the sense of adventure associated with getting out of the house. Now that I am older I’d sooner not have to go down the road and deal with the chaos, the noise, the constant pressure which is why I tend to prefer shopping late at night where I can take my time rather than feeling of being hurried.
