  • Another good day at work.

    Woke up this morning, had a tuna meal bowl for brunch along with a coffee then jumped into the queue answering emails and telephone calls. Unfortunately things went a bit pear shaped at work because of Salesforce issues but they were eventually fixed. I’m not in the technology area where they do all the system…

  • The day going well so far.

    Woke up this morning, had some protein ice coffee for breakfast and logged into my work computer – Microsoft Edge has released an update which updates Microsoft from 142 to 143 although that hasn’t updated the WebView that the new Microsoft Outlook depends on. The weather is nice outside so I’ve got the windows open…

  • Back at home now.

    Went along to the Christmas party but I found the experience rather overwhelming with all the noise and people so I made an appearance, made use of the three drink coupons then headed back to the train station to catch the 21:00 train home but before I did that I picked up some random items…

  • The Mac Studio has finally arrived.

    I got up early this morning at around 8am to ensure that I didn’t miss the courier when they came to drop off the Mac Studio (the display, keyboard and mouse came earlier in the week). It was dropped off at around 15:30 and I got it quickly setup – account all setup along with…

  • Tomorrow off from work, getting closer to annual leave.

    Today was rather uneventful, had some good calls although I had a few who wanted to talk to the supervisor – nothing I could do and the call was unrelated to me. It is funny how sometimes you can have a quiet day then suddenly a day filled with people wanting to speak to a…

  • Back into a good routine.

    Finished work today and although the weather was looking pretty lousy I was able to squeeze in an 11.6km walk even with the drizzle. After coming back home, I grabbed a warm drink, showered then jumped into bed to watch a few YouTube videos and just as I did that I noticed that it started…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a quiet day at home today – went for a walk around the block, sent off a the Google Streamer I sold online via courier as an overnight (it is easier for me to courier it than for the buyer to pick it up or me drop it off even though we’re in…

  • A busy day, lots of rain and moving back to Mac.

    Rather than being a hermit on my day off I decided to get out of the house and head down to the store to have a look around, check out what iOS 26 is actually like rather than the early judgements I made which were based on screenshots and videos. I decided that, after much…

  • Start of the weekend.

    Work was good today, felt a lot better after a few days of rest and I was fairly productive getting through quite a few emails as well as answering phone calls and following up with past enquiries. After work I decided to have tonight off since there is rain that is on and off so…

  • Relaxing at home. Taking it one day at a time.

    On the road to recovery by spending today at home and while at home I was watching a great interview over on YouTube – it is great to see an ecosystem that is building particularly when it comes to one with centre left to left wing unafraid of calling a spade a spade vs in…
