I had an early start today in the office starting at 9:30am (I had to get up at 7:30am to get ready to catch the train into Wellington), it was a long day but there were lost of tasty treats for lunch so I was a happy lad all day. For lunch I had a…

Yeah, I changed some settings for my domain which stopped people from accessing the website but I’ve now fixed that up which should translate into people being able to access my website again.

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).
