  • I made a blog post not too long ago about waiting for uBlock Origin Lite to appear in the App Store and within a few hours of making that post it suddenly appeared. I’ve installed it on my Mac, copied the settings over from when I had it installed on Chrome and started using it…

  • The one thing I found limiting about iCloud custom domain support was the limit of three aliases per domain but I could never get my head around the idea of how to setup a subdomain so then the number of aliases can be 15 in total (3 aliases per domain/subdomain). There is a difference regarding…

  • With all the kerfuffle occurring regarding Trump and his administration there has been a trend developing of decoupling from the United States or more specifically United States based technology giants in favour of domestic providers of cloud services. There is the ‘European Alternatives’ website (link) that I mentioned before which provides a pretty good list…

  • Finished work today at 10pm but I stayed online to finish off some emails to make life easier for the team who come in the morning and have to pick up where I left off. When I worked in fast food (sometimes referred to as ‘quick service restaurant’) one of the rules that was consistent…

  • Finished work tonight and went for a 12.8km walk tonight and after I came back I could feel it in my legs but it felt good having gotten some exercise after being locked inside for the past few days thanks to the weather. In the mean time the addition of chia seeds has really helped…

  • Yeah, it is raining again – I was hoping that I could have some walking in but every time I get myself prepared it starts raining so in the end I decided I’m going to jump into bed, watch some television shows and update my blog while I’m at it. During the day there was…

  • It was drizzling a bit but I felt the need to get out of the houe to at least go for a small walk – while I was out I put on a load of washing so that by the time I got back it ws all washed. A few more loads later I caught…

  • I went off to the supermarket tonight to pick up the necessities – life is so much easier when you write a list rather than flying blind then hoping when you get home that you’ll have what you need for the coming week. I also bought a few extra things while I was there –…
