The weekend ended up finishing a lot quicker than expected. I went for my big grocery shop today and funny enough the amount I spent was less than expected – not because the prices of food went down (wouldn’t that be nice!) but rather because I first of all had something to eat so I…

I woke up early on Monday to jump on a bus to pick up some odd bits and pieces from the supermarket for the day with the big shop being done on Tuesday. On Tuesday I’ll be popping down but this time I’ve made sure I’ve actually got a list of things I need to…

I made a blog post not too long ago about waiting for uBlock Origin Lite to appear in the App Store and within a few hours of making that post it suddenly appeared. I’ve installed it on my Mac, copied the settings over from when I had it installed on Chrome and started using it…

The one thing I found limiting about iCloud custom domain support was the limit of three aliases per domain but I could never get my head around the idea of how to setup a subdomain so then the number of aliases can be 15 in total (3 aliases per domain/subdomain). There is a difference regarding…

With all the kerfuffle occurring regarding Trump and his administration there has been a trend developing of decoupling from the United States or more specifically United States based technology giants in favour of domestic providers of cloud services. There is the ‘European Alternatives’ website (link) that I mentioned before which provides a pretty good list…
