  • Hasn’t been a bad week so far.

    Normally at this point I’m really looking forward to the final day of the week but apart from the usual work related stuff things have been pretty uneventful. Tonight I went for an 11.6km walk and that was completed in around 1 hour and 40 minutes which good that I am keeping up the pace.…

  • I needed that walk after work.

    I finished work and went for a walk and tonight I decided to go for a 17.4km walk but funny enough I decided to time myself to see how much my fitness had improved and what I have found is that to do 5.8km it had gone from around 1 1/2 hours when I first…

  • One UI 8 has been released in New Zealand.

    i finished work tonight and then went for a walk but had a short walk because it started spitting – last night I got stuck in the rain so I wanted to avoid that same issue. Long story short on my way home I picked up a few things from the local convenience store and…

  • Another day, another example of a tech YouTuber failing to do the bare minimum.

    The saga regarding SSDs continues as one of the major instigators behind the hysteria admits that they didn’t update their SSD firmware and the firmware on their motherboard was at least 9 months out of date yet he insists on blaming Microsoft. I don’t know about you but if you want any sort of credibility…

  • A relaxing couple of days.

    I decided for the couple of days off that I would just enjoy the fine art of doing nothing – just relaxing at home watching a few tv series, pop down to to the supermarket to pick up some groceries for the week. Part of the groceries included getting a variety of meal options which…

  • End of a week, let’s hope for an uneventful one this week.

    I finished work tonight and I decided I needed to go for a long walk after dealing with a sizeable number of customers who put me in a bad mood. The most productive way I have found to deal with such emotions is to go for a long walk while listening to some music –…

  • I’m going to say it, the new iPhone is pretty good.

    One more day to go and the weekend cannot come soon enough. After work I went for another long walk because I needed to get some negative vibes out of my system after dealing with some ‘interesting’ customers – the sort that insist because they’ve watched a few episodes of Perry Mason that it somehow…

  • 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…

  • 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…
