  • A couple of days before the official release of Firefox 128 I wanted to give it a try to see how much it has improved over 127.0.2 – what surprised me was the improvement in performance in both rendering pages as well as retrieving pages (both latency/responsiveness and speed of the download). It appears that…

  • Yes, even when I am on holiday I am following the latest technology news – I don’t want to sound snarky but I predicted this a while ago, there will be the early adopter phase with lots of hype then it’ll be relegated to a niche. Now, I’m not saying that foldable phones suck –…

  • The narrative I typically hear through the media is the sort of simplistic answer that is normally given by a talking head explaining why people vote for Trump, “Oh, they’re racist”, sure it is an answer but it is the sort of answer one would give if one didn’t want to look any further than…

  • 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…

  • Another day another dime and this morning Santa came late and dropped off a chest freezer that’ll be put into my office (no room in the kitchen) where I’ll gradually build up a good supply of food so that there is less temptation to buy take outs. It’s been a week of taking this approach…

  • I headed down to the local Harvey Norman to look at a small chest freezer but before that mum shouted me brunch at the local cafe/bakery – eggs bene with salmon and wilted spinach on toasted ciabatta. It is a treat that I look forward to because for all my culinary skills I am horrible at…

  • Admittedly I am late to the party but Apple released updates for all their platforms but the more interesting aspect to this is the progress that Safari is making in terms of fixing bugs and improved compliance with the work being done with the Interop 2023 team (link) (link).
