  • Why let facts get in the way of baseless speculation.

    Once again the ‘don’t politicise the shooting’ types are once again politicising the killing of Charlie Kirk – calling for violent retribution while speculating, based on no evidence at all, as to the politics of the accused killer. Why let facts get in the way of weaving a politically expedient narrative that allows you to…

  • It was a good day.

    I was able to spend the day off the phones replying to emails and other office related work then after work I went for a walk then came home to have the last bit of the turkish bread I bought on Tuesday (I put in the freezer to keep it fresh – I defrosted it…

  • Meh.

    Today was pretty meh, got up, logged in, worked for the day – nothing unusual, the usual flow of customers so nothing out of the ordinary. After work I went for an 11.6km walk then came back, had a shower then completed a few puzzles on the internet. I had a look at Microsoft 365…

  • I wouldn’t wait with bated breath for the corrections.

    Well, it appears that all the hype and hysteria was about nothing – as I noted in a previous post, there are many factors at play and given how limited the report there must be a logical reason for what is occuring. Well, it appears that the problem comes back to out of date firmware…

  • Back to work tomorrow.

    Today was a busy day. I had a wonderful sleep last night after having a bit of a shocker of a sleep from Sunday night – 5 hours of sleep vs a solid 10 hours of sleep. I woke up this morning with the sound of mum telling me that we had dinner tonight and…

  • I need a new pair of shoes.

    It has been almost a year, and I need to buy a new pair of shoes – the heel my right shoe is falling to pieces but keeping in mind the number of kilometres I have walked since the beginning of the year. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I’ll be going out with my siter, partner along with…

  • End of another week.

    Well, that is the end of another week and start of a new one. After finishing work my goal was to do at least 17.4km but I was hoping to do walk 23.2km but my legs were too sore and the temperature was too cold that I really needed to get home. I got home…

  • That was a good work out.

    Finished work tonight and went straight into my night walk – I’ve just come back and all I can say is that it was one heck of a work out. My original goal was to do 17.4 but I decided to go all the way and complete 23.2km which took around 3 hours and 45…

  • A busy day, getting ready for bed.

    Today was fairly busy but the last 4 hours or so were nice because I was dealing with emails and other non-phone related tasks then around an hour before finishing it started pouring down with rain along with a health dose of wind. I decided because of that change in the weather I would have…

  • Here we go again, equating correlation to causation.

    If you’ve been following recent news regarding a Windows update that was released for the month of August there were claims that it ‘bricked’ their SSD (even though it doesn’t fit the definition of ‘bricked’ given that simply turning it off and back on again addresses it) or their computer crashed. Here is the problem,…
