  • 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, 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Well, I see that AdGuard Safari Extension was updated in the last couple of days from 1.11.18 to 1.11.19 – the update includes updating the scriptlets library to 1.11.16 which adds new features and fixes existing bugs (link). I’ve still kept my custom user filters that I use rather than relying on the allow list…

  • I’ve decided to give Chrome another go to see how MV3 fares when compared to MV2 in Firefox and the bespoke content blocking API that Apple uses in Safari (they are adding declarative net request but still trails in functionality when compared to the implementation on Chrome or Firefox). I have to prefix this by…

  • Weekends go so quickly – I wish I had a three day weekend because the first day off one is recovering from work which only leaves one day to actually do something. I’m still deciding whether I should go into the office or work from home – if I go into work I’ll have to…
