Well, that was a long week, a six day week with one day off – hopefully when my pay comes through next week that the extra dollars will make the fortnight feel a whole lot better. It’s taken a while for me to get over my flu – almost three weeks and I’ve still got…

Well, it’s the start of a new year and things are looking good so far – the focus this year isn’t about trying to make big changes but instead making incremental improvements because it is easy to get overwhelmed then eventually throw ones hands up in the air because it feels like one is fighting…

Firefox 121 was released recently with a massive laundry list of features that developers have been clamouring for and the Firefox developers have been working on as part of the web compat project such as the :has pusedo class along with many others (link).

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…

Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch the event live (it is really early on Wednesday and I wasn’t going to get up at 5 am to watch it) but I was able to give the presentation a quick browse through picking up the key points that were raised. For me, the biggest ‘feature’ (if you…
