  • Going cold turkey, I can’t take it any more.

    I’m going cold turkey when it comes to Twitter – I like to ‘stop in’ occasionally to see what is happening in the world of Twitter but it appears that as the US draws closer to mid terms (there is early voting in many states) the avalanche of crap that’ll appear on Twitter will keep…

  • Android 13 and Project Mainline.

    With the launch of Android 13 I thought it would be best to provide some links to some articles that go into detail regarding the ‘under the hood’ changes that Google has in Android. https://blog.esper.io/android-13-deep-dive/ https://blog.esper.io/what-is-project-mainline/ Not necessarily a Google fan myself but it’s always good to see what the alternative platforms are doing.

  • macOS 13 Ventura, iOS 16.1, tvOS 16.1 released.

    Yeah, I stayed up all night waiting for the release of Apple’s new operating systems and with that came the cleaning of my devices and doing a fresh install of each of the operating systems. When it came to my Macs I created a bootable USB drive. Both of the Macs had their firmware updated…

  • A geeky weekend coming soon.

    I’m buzzing with excitement regarding the great news about the release of iOS 16.1, tvOS 16.1 and macOS 13 on 24 October (US Time, which translates to 25 October NZ Time) and with that news I organised a couple of days off so I am lucky enough to have a long weekend (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday…

  • Chicken and a good helping of vegetables.

    I had a nice meal from Bowl’d – chicken, a good helping of vegetables, a couple of grilled eggs to finish it all off. I had some food at home here but I really did feel the need for a good helping of vegetables, at least giving me the feeling that I was eating something…

  • Being held to a standard that one sets for oneself.

    I really have to ask whether conservatives are playing ignorant or are actually that ignorant in real life as based on the tweets many of them put out. The latest one is from our good friend Benjamin Shapiro: I have a general rule that I set for myself and that is to never hold someone…

  • End of the year draws closer.

    As the end of the year draws closer the big players in silicon valley prepare to launch the last product updates out to the market. Google has a launch event for 6 October which includes the Pixel phone along with the Pixel watch. I really hope that Google will bring the Pixel phone to New…

  • End of another week, getting closer to macOS Ventura release.

    Well, the end of another week and sure enough we’re closing in on the end of this year so quickly that by the time February rolls around next year it will mark me working for the company I am at for five years. It is interesting how as you get older it feels as though…

  • Back to work again.

    I’ve been sick for the last four days – coughing up phlegm and blowing my nose. I went to visit my doctor and I was advised that the best he can suggest is so get some rest, drink lots of water, get fresh air and make sure that I eat some good helpings of vegetables.…

  • tvOS 16, iOS 16, Safari 16 and macOS 12.6 released.

    At 5:10 this morning Apple released tvOS 16, iOS 16, Safari 16 and macOS 12.6 released – they were decent size downloads and it took a while to install. So far everything has been very reliable particularly with Safari 16 which has been rock solid and no problems with AdGuard, the issue with Google Chat…
