  • Apple has pushed out the public beta of macOS 11.0 which includes a variety of new features (features not found in previous builds) as well as correcting known bugs from previous builds (link). My impression so far is that it is in a better position than it was last time and I think that has…

  • Well, I turned up to work today and puked a lung out – my boss through it would be best, given the circumstances, to head back home and take sick leave. I don’t know how I got sick but I do know when occurred which was on Sunday and by the time Monday rolled around…

  • Weekend is almost over and looking forward to getting back to work but the mean time MarsEdit’s developer(s) have put out an update which addresses a bug I experienced when sending a blog post to WordPress.com and the category chosen not being synchronised – it comes up on the WordPress.com server as uncategorised. Well, it…

  • Well, I’ve finally got MarsEdit set up – I give web applications ago but I keep coming back to native applications because they integrate best with macOS. It is the one thing I like about having iCloud at the centre of my life – it avoids the use of web applications in favour of native…

  • I always find it funny when I see people talk about wanting smaller phones – that is right up until I have to deal with them at the call centre by giving them instructions but they’re unable to navigate their phones and/or read what is on the screen because the screen is too small. Moral…

  • Well, I’m now in quaratine all because I called in sick on Wednesday with a cold but it is now required that because of the recent ballsup courtesy of a compassionate entry that now employers are being extra cautious. So today (Thursday) I went to the local testing centre – it was uncomfortable having a…

  • One more week to go before the start of WWDC 2020 and the rumour mill is starting to kick into high gear with discussions of an extra session, rumours that this will be the time that Apple will announce the transition from x86 to their own ARM based SoC designs that’ll form the foundation of…

  • Well, that was relatively quick – I put my router, switch and cloud key up on a technology website I frequent and within a few hours it was sold and today I sent it off via courier. I’m looking forward to Ubiquiti releasing the update that brings UDM and UDM Pro into line but so…
