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…

Apple has released updates to all their platforms today and part of that involves a huge number of security fixes that came through (link) with quite a few updates for Webkit and Safari. On my iPhone 15 Pro Max the modem firmware was updated from 1.60.02 to 1.70.02 along with the firmware of both Macs…

I have finally uploaded all my photos – I was going to use the Google Photos but I found it easier to share it using Apple Photos since I have everything integrated into the Apple ecosystem – I’ve now got 2TB on iCloud so I might as well use it. I’ve got two albums –…

Well, I came back from overseas, had a week off sick then went back to work but spent time replying to customer emails rather than taking phone calls – I really needed that extra week of recovery because goodness knows what I caught took a lot out of me. I don’t think it was COVID…

Still recovering from travel – still got a nasty virus resulting in a lot of coughing etc. but I’m working through it, resting at home and ordering groceries online to avoid the miserable cold outside. It is the one thing I can’t stand about travelling – almost every time I eand up catching something resulting…

I’ve installed Firefox 127.0.2 along with uBlock Origin and so far things are going pretty good – as much as the ‘all Apple’ ecosystems nice I can’t help but get frustrated by the crippled experience with the new extension model that is being pushed upon users over the next year with Chrome at the head…
