The week felt a lot longer than normal but it went off without a hitch. Over the last few weeks I’ve been getting things organised for a big OE (overseas experience) to Europe and the UK. I’ve been fluffing around for years and I think this is the time I really should make use of…

macOS 14 has been released today and I’ve done a clean install on both my MacBook Air and Mac Studio – so far things are very stable, Safari is performing well, AdGuard Safari Extension is working, over all the experience is a lot smoother than previous releases which goes back to a post I made…

Woke up this morning before heading off to work and Apple has released macOS 13.6 just a few days before they release macOS 14.0 to the world. Installed it on my Mac Studio along with Google also releasing an update which updated Chrome from 117.0.5938.88 to 117.0.5938.92 – no noticeable difference although apparently there have…

Just had a look at videos of Samsung’s launch of their One UI 6 beta programme and it appears that things are getting better in terms of the overall UI experience – yeah, I’m one of these strange people who focus on usability rather than fixating for almost an hour over the camera setup. After…

I was hoping that Nothing OS 2.0 would be Android 14 based but with the launch of the Nothing Phone 2.0 the Nothing OS 2.0 is based on Android 13 which will be coming to the Nothing Phone 1 – it’ll be interesting to see whether the kernel is upgraded to a newer version but…

Well, I’m working on Matariki but on the upside there is a bonus – I get time and a half plus a day in lieu since this is my normal day of work (I work a Wednesday to Sunday schedule). One thing I’ll need to remember is completing the time sheet at the end of…

I’ve tidied up my blog by making sure that all the posts I have made have a title. In the past I used to use a blogging client but these days the web app for WordPress is powerful enough to replace a native application. I also deleted all blog posts before 2020, nothing of any…
