  • Apple releases an avalanche of updates.

    I woke up this morning and found that Apple had released an avalanche of updates. I’ve updated all of my devices and here are a few things I noticed: Regarding Safari, I cleared all the cookies and cache, then visited some websites to see how it performs and I found that a few websites were…

  • A pleasant surprise in the morning.

    I woke up this morning and there was a pleasant surprise of seeing that Apple had released 26.3 and Ubiquiti had also made available UniFi OS 5.0.12 for the UniFi Gateway and the Cloud Key. The changes in Safari can be found here (link) and the security fixes for macOS (link), iOS (link) and tvOS…

  • Back home now.

    Arrived back at home and checked my letter box – the CD I ordered off Discogs (it was posted from the United Kingdom) arrived: I checked the CD, perfect condition and I ripped the music to my FLAC collection to back up to the cloud then to AAC format for my iPhone. I’ve had a…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a good walk tonight of 11.6km and the weather was good – warm but not hot when compared to the walk down to the bakery when I picked up a late lunch. I’ve got my laptop bag and swipe card all organised as well as lunch too because last week I forgot all…

  • Off to sleep.

    Off to sleep and hopefully tomorrow 26.3 will be released but that may not happen until Wednesday (NZ Time) due to Apple normally releasing it on Wednesday but that all depends on whether there were any show stopper bugs found in the release candidate. I don’t expect it to be a big update but we…

  • A strange night sleep.

    I had a bit of a late night because I got stuck into a binge watch of Fallout season 2 and had a small sleep then I woke up early but couldn’t get to sleep so I then went for a walk at around 6am. It is surprising the number of people out at that…

  • Back into a routine.

    My routine got thrown out this week when I headed into the office then had an early start the next day where I had to get up at 7:45am but I’m used to getting to sleep at around 2am so I only ended up getting around 5 hours sleep. The net result was after that…

  • At the half way point.

    Ah, I love working from home, being able to enjoy a quiet place to work, being able to grab a coffee within arm reach. I’m reading through ‘WECG Meetings 2026, Public Notes—Jan 29, 2026’ and there is a good amount of stuff that is happening in terms of harmonising implementations, addressing the short comings of…

  • A bit of a shock to the system.

    I had an early start today – up and out of the bed at 7:45am and off to catch the train to work by 8:30am. I was making great time until I ended up at the train station to then find that the train was 15 minutes late with no explanation given. It was kind…

  • Early night in bed.

    Got an early start on Thursday because we’ve got a work function afterwards – up at 7:45am to catch the 8:30am train to work then finishing off at 6:00pm to meet up after work with my work mates. I was going to go for a walk tonight bu unfortunately if I did then I wouldn’t…
