  • Random thoughts on my day off.

    As I have gotten older I’ve found that things that I thought were important aren’t actually all that important. A good example of this was the frustration I would have using Windows and the UI inconsistencies that existed, they would be the bane of my existence and ultimately what drove me into the arms of…

  • A new round of betas and more.

    Just having a read through the Webkit website to see what the latest Safari Technology Preview has in store (link) and what peaked my interest was this: The support is present on M3 as well as A17 SoC – I’m holding off for the M4 or M5 because I’m interesting in seeing Apple move to…

  • Back to work.

    Went into Noel Leemings to pick up the keyboard and mouse combo on special (link) – I opted for the wired one so then I’m not having to deal with batteries and odd behaviour due to it being wireless. I’ve got it all setup however on my way back from work tomorrow I’m going to…

  • Almost the end of another week

    One more day to go and it’ll be the end of another week. Wheels are in motion to get a new desk setup in my soon to be office where I will be working from home thus having a dedicated room where I work – it also means I’m not having to use my own…

  • Speak of the devil.

    I made a blog post last night before going to bet hoping that Apple would release an update to macOS 14.4 and funny enough when I woke up I find an update waiting for me to install. It is a pretty hefty update weighing in at around 1.15GB. It would be nice if Apple could…

  • Grocery shopping and clean up around home.

    Went down to the supermarket to pick up some groceries for the week – one of the habits I’ve gotten myself into is ensuring that my fridge, freezer and cupboards are well stocked so then I’ve always got something to choose from which stops me from being tempted to order take away. Tomorrow I’m looking…

  • Enjoying the weekend.

    Enjoying my weekend (Monday and Tuesday) with the first I went for a walk down to my local cafe and had a eggs bene (with smoked salmon) along with a bowl of mochaccino – a nice way to start the day with a late brunch by getting me out of the home and getting in…

  • Random thoughts.

    This week has been pretty good with it ending the week where I have found out I’ll end up getting a bonus for the work for the last 6 months of the year which will be nice for when I head overseas – paying for travel insurance along with a bit of spending money. It’ll…

  • AdGuard Safari Extension on macOS and weird rendering behaviour.

    I mentioned it on a previous post about how I was getting strange behaviour when using YouTube even though I had added it to to my allow list. I was going through the AdGuard document regarding how one can create customer filters (link) so what I tried instead was to delete all the websites in…

  • Some random thoughts.

    So there have been a parade of articles come out regarding ‘Project Titan’, an rumoured electric car from Apple, has been shut down (link). I can’t help but get a sense that the whole ‘Project Titan’ has been getting slowly wound down over the last several years with the next generation of CarPlay being announced…
