  • Software updates, getting into good habits.

    I’ve gotten back into taking my iron tablets in the morning and it has made a big difference in terms of alertness, not feeling as fatigued etc. that combined with a breakfast (an ‘Up and Go’ liquid breakfast) I’ve found I’m performing better at work. Change is occuring gradually, it’s more like a marathon rather…

  • End of another week, start of the weekend.

    End of another week, looking forward to relaxing over the next couple of days, sleep in, got the dentist on Tuesday for deep cleaning of my teeth. Around 6 months ago they were able to finish most of it but I needed another appointment to finish it off then after I’ll schedule a yearly check…

  • The gradual phase out of MV2, migrating to MV3.

    Just been following the discussion regarding the migration from MV2 to MV3 – at times the discussion has become rather heated as people accuse Google of deliberately crippling the extension framework to undermine content blockers. The problem is that the number of people who use content blockers are very few in number so I doubt…

  • End of another day, looking forward to the weekend.

    Finished work and to my surprise my local Mexican restaurant is open late so I ordered some Tacos for dinner – I didn’t feel like anything but thought, “why the hell not” and I bought it anyway. They’re around 30 minutes alway so by the time it arrives I’ll submitting this blog post. I some…

  • Interesting improvement.

    I’ve been giving AdGuard 5.0.138 a try since it’s release and it has finally addressed a long standing problem – for example, one of the sites I use there is a search box, you click on the search box to put the cursor and what happens is a new window opens. In the new window…

  • Proposing something is one thing, doing it is another thing entirely.

    Just reading though an Arstechnica article regarding the idea being floated around Google being broken up (link). When I hear proposals like this I can’t help but get the feeling that it is the old story of putting a proposal out there but secretly you have a lot more modest goals in place – a…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I’ve been looking for a new television series to really get into – I heard people talk about the show ‘Billions’ and saw clips on YouTube but it never crossed my mind to really get into it until I saw the pilot episode which peaked my interest. I watched the episode and thought it was…

  • Dinner and software updates.

    Went down the road today and bought a tandoori seasoned chicken for dinner along with some Japanese coleslaw – sitting in the oven cooking and will be reading in around 45 minutes. Given how easy it is to put together a half decent dinner at home these days I very rarely go to a restaurant…

  • Some things I have noticed recently.

    As much as I like using Chrome it is so buggy when its to the spell checker – text boxes where it doesn’t work then suddenly a minute later on the same website the text box magically has spell checking. Don’t get my started on a misspelled word that is phonetically close to what it…

  • End of another week.

    End of another week, I’m gradually getting back into the groove of being in the office 3 days a week and at home 2 days a week – a change from 2 days at work and 3 days at home. I have to admit the one good thing about going into the office are the…
