Even though I had a sense that the election wasn’t going to go in the direction that the Harris campaign and the online echo chamber believed it would I was holding out hope that maybe Harris could pull off an unlikely victory. Even with my low to almost non-existent expectations I still felt that pain…

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…

I’ve still kept my custom user filters that I use rather than relying on the allow list…

Ok, I was watching the Sunday (18 August US time) episode of Meet the Press and what frustrates me was the way in which the issue of ‘banning price gouging’ was being reported – drawing the conclusion that ‘banning price gouging’ equals price controls even though nothing is mentioned regarding price controls. It also completely…

Apple has released updates to all their platforms today and part of that involves a huge number of security fixes that came through (link) with quite a few updates for Webkit and Safari. On my iPhone 15 Pro Max the modem firmware was updated from 1.60.02 to 1.70.02 along with the firmware of both Macs…

Just before I start I should put my cards on the table regarding where I am coming from politically – I sit on the left economically and socially I’m a libertarian so for someone like me Bernie Sanders is closer to where I sit politically but that being said I’m realistic. I understand that there…
