  • The start of a new work week.

    Back to work on Wednesday but tonight I went for a walk – the weather was marginally warmer and I really felt the need to get some exercise after having not done it for a couple of days. On Monday I picked up some milk and a few bottles of Pepsi Max but I kept…

  • A chilly day today and even chillier night.

    I slept in today and when I woke up…it was chilly and it is really chilly at the moment with the temperature sitting at 3°C so I’ve decided that I’ll stay at home, keep myself warm rather than risking the cold weather but end up getting sick as a result. I really was hoping that…

  • The week has ended (finally!)

    Oh god knows I needed the week to be over and the weekend couldn’t have come soon enough. I’m relaxing in bed after going for a walk – it was spitting and really cold, a lot colder than the temperature is being reported by Metservice as 6°C but feels like 5°C. I’ve got my heater…

  • One more day then the weekend.

    Tomorrow is the last day of the week and it couldn’t come sooner. I was going to go for a walk tonight but it has been raining on and off and when it did rain it was a real downpour so I decided to take a night off, watch another episode of Foundation and keep…

  • Evolution towards a unified core.

    Just watching the following video – I have to admit a lot of the information that I’m seeing around the internet is rumours but it is interesting to hear just how bureaucratic Intel is relative to AMD – multiple teams working on multiple architectures ends up sounding very much like a needlessly complex organisational structure.…

  • The future of ChromeOS and Android.

    It appears that there has been confirmation, be it passing a line within an interview, about the future of the coming of two operating systems into a single unified one that’ll span from watch to phone to tablet then to laptop. There is also talk about bringing extensions to Chrome along with making Chrome feature…

  • I needed that walk after today.

    One of the things I hate about working in customer services are people who use us as an emotional sound board because god forbid taking responsibility for decisions they made. After dealing with a few of those I went for my usual 11.6km walk tonight to work it out of my system so then I…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Another day of relaxing and today I went for an 11.6km walk tonight at around 6pm then when I came back, I put my recycling and rubbish wheelie bins out for collection then I headed down to the supermarket to pick up the all important milk and coffee. I was going to grab the bus…

  • Relaxing at home, enjoying day off.

    The weather has been less that ideal today but I got out of the house so I could pick up some much needed stuff from the store – what I needed were some tins of tuna. I like ensuring that I get a good amount of protein per day which helps not only in keep…

  • Dealing with misinformation and disinformation.

    Over the last 15-20 years there has been cottage industry of people and/or organisations spreading disinformation and misinformation which is then amplified not only by a large network of bots but people whose first reaction is ‘like first, ask questions never’ because it happens to tickle lizard brain. Unfortunately such an environment has had catastrophic…
