  • Making the best of the bad weather.

    Final day of work on Sunday for the week, on Saturday I went for a walk but I got caught in a downpour around 3/4 way through the walk so by the time I came home I was pretty much drenched resulting in my running shoes being wet. Tonight I went for a short walk…

  • Heading into the weekend.

    uBlock Origin Lite now has an official beta available through Apple’s testflight service (link), both macOS and iOS are being targeted – it’ll be interesting to see whether the short comings in Safari will be addressed because ultimately the effectiveness will be very much dependent on Apple getting Safari issues addressed (link). There was the…

  • Turns out I can have my holiday in June.

    Well, it appears that I’ve been able to have time off over June with one caveat – I’ll need to wok the late night shift on Friday and Saturday (working from home) which isn’t so bad with the remaining 3 days I took using the three days in lieu that I have built up over…

  • Interesting thing I noticed after the update.

    Something I noticed after installing the macOS 15.5 update has been the Mail app where Apple have finally fixed up the issue regarding aliases where in the past if you added a custom domain that the email addresses wouldn’t appear in the Mail app (you had to manually add them by going into Accounts then…

  • Apple releases updates.

    Well, I’ve had a late night binge watching ‘The Handmaids Tale’, I checked the news and found that Apple had released updates along with an update for Safari 18.5 (link). Safari 18.5 release doesn’t include a lot of new features like the previous but there are a few bugs that have been fixed up and…

  • Good news to start a new week.

    I like to keep up to date to see what is happening with AdGuard and whether a particular issue has been fixed – the one I’ve wrote about has been the issue of AdGuard and websites that use Cloudflare verification. I’ve download and installed the latest version (Version 5.1.81) and everything is now working as…

  • Start of the weekend.

    Finished work on Sunday for the week, took the bus down to the store to pick up some groceries and then walked part of the way back (my arms got too tired to keep on carrying the grocery bags), I had a late dinner and then I went for a 10.5km walk which enabled me…

  • One more day to go.

    Well, I’ve got Chrome installed with the latest version of uBlock Origin Lite – it appears to the shock of almost no one that Chrome developers are adding functionality that extension developers need while over in the land of Safari there appears to be a reluctance to close that functionality gap not only when it…

  • Heading into the weekend.

    I’ve ordered some stuff over the last week and the first order has arrived at YouShop in the US so I logged in and provided them with the information they require. One of the other items have shipped and I’ve got one more yet to ship – in total it’ll be three items to be…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    A busy couple of days where I finally got my act sorted out and bought those items of clothing I saw online but had been procrastinating over whether to go ahead with the purchase along with ordering a Delongi kettle and toaster from Noel Leeming which was on special: Which will mean that I’ll finally…
