  • The week has ended (finally!)

    Oh god knows I needed the week to be over and the weekend couldn’t have come soon enough. I’m relaxing in bed after going for a walk – it was spitting and really cold, a lot colder than the temperature is being reported by Metservice as 6°C but feels like 5°C. I’ve got my heater…

  • One more day then the weekend.

    Tomorrow is the last day of the week and it couldn’t come sooner. I was going to go for a walk tonight but it has been raining on and off and when it did rain it was a real downpour so I decided to take a night off, watch another episode of Foundation and keep…

  • Evolution towards a unified core.

    Just watching the following video – I have to admit a lot of the information that I’m seeing around the internet is rumours but it is interesting to hear just how bureaucratic Intel is relative to AMD – multiple teams working on multiple architectures ends up sounding very much like a needlessly complex organisational structure.…

  • The future of ChromeOS and Android.

    It appears that there has been confirmation, be it passing a line within an interview, about the future of the coming of two operating systems into a single unified one that’ll span from watch to phone to tablet then to laptop. There is also talk about bringing extensions to Chrome along with making Chrome feature…

  • I needed that walk after today.

    One of the things I hate about working in customer services are people who use us as an emotional sound board because god forbid taking responsibility for decisions they made. After dealing with a few of those I went for my usual 11.6km walk tonight to work it out of my system so then I…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Another day of relaxing and today I went for an 11.6km walk tonight at around 6pm then when I came back, I put my recycling and rubbish wheelie bins out for collection then I headed down to the supermarket to pick up the all important milk and coffee. I was going to grab the bus…

  • Relaxing at home, enjoying day off.

    The weather has been less that ideal today but I got out of the house so I could pick up some much needed stuff from the store – what I needed were some tins of tuna. I like ensuring that I get a good amount of protein per day which helps not only in keep…

  • End of the week.

    Sunday is the end of the week for me and the beginning of my weekend. Tonight I went for a 14.2km walk because it stopped raining so I thought I may as well take advantage of the good weather given that these days the weather is unpredictable resulting in days of raining without any rest…

  • Another day, another pay.

    Work was uneventful and it has been raining all day so I decided to have tonight off from some exercise and instead chill out watching some tv series while catching up on some blogposts I’ve beem meaning to finally complete. An update to the AdGuard beta release has been made available along with the uBlock…

  • Sometimes you just need to have a sandwich.

    I decided to head down to the local store that is open late to pick up some milk and while I was there I picked up a couple of sandwiches on multigrain bread (the health benefits are secondary to the the fact that I like the taste of multigrain bread) along with a slice. It’s…
