  • Taking a day to recover.

    I decided to take a day off to recover and get back to my more energetic self – going to take it easy and relax. I woke up today, checked for updates and it appears that the October update for patch Tuesday will be next week however there was an update for Chrome which updated…

  • Feeling a bit lousy, might have tomorrow off.

    Been resting up but I’m feeling a bit run down and crappy – I tend to catch something right around when seasons change so I think what I’ll do is have a sleep and then see how I feel in the morning because sometimes a good night sleep can be the solution. I completed the…

  • Relaxing at home on a rainy night.

    Finished work tonight and I noticed it had started raining – basically it has been going on and off the whole night so I decided I’ll take the night off from going for a walk and instead chill out. Had some weird behaviour today with the work VPN crashing out and ended up going offline…

  • One more day.

    Finished work tonight, went for my nightly 11.6km walk and when I arrived home I decided to have some minestrone soup – Artisano make a good range of soups from the supermarket and they’re great to have in the fridge if one feels the need for something to eat with minimum fuss and bother. I’ve…

  • Nights are getting warmer.

    Went for my nightly walk and tonight I cracked a sweat for the first time given how cold it has been for the last few months I found that even when wearing a sweatshirt I still didn’t get hot enough to start sweating when on a walk. Getting closure to summer so I’ll finally give…

  • Getting closer to spring.

    Finished work tonight at 10pm and went for my walk – temperature outside was 13°C so it wasn’t uncomfortably cold and apart from a bit of drizzle I went for a 17.4km walk tonight where I completed it in around 2 hours and 40 minutes. I like to keep track of the speed I walk…

  • Not today Satan.

    Work today was uneventful apart from one particular customer who refused to listen to an explanation I gave – at some point you have to say ‘not today satan’ and end the call. If you’re unable to accept something after having explained to you 3 times then the problem can be found in the mirror…

  • Raining then not raining then raining again.

    Another day in paradise – working from home then as I am able to finish my shift it starts raining then it stops then it starts again and then it stops. Long story short I decided I wasn’t going to go for a walk and tempt fate so I decided to stay at home and…

  • An interesting day to day.

    Rather uneventful day at work followed by a brisk walk – I decided to have a shorter walk tonight because I wasn’t in the mood for a longer one but I always like to make sure that I get out of the house and get some exercise after sitting on my backside all day. Anyway,…

  • Maybe there is something more to the nVidia-Intel alliance.

    Finished work tonight and went for a walk – it felt good that the weather is finally getting warmer with the temperature at 12°C and during the day it was around 16°C. It is great that the weather isn’t too hot or too cold so I’ll enjoy the Spring weather until summer comes but then…
