Finished work and to my surprise my local Mexican restaurant is open late so I ordered some Tacos for dinner – I didn’t feel like anything but thought, “why the hell not” and I bought it anyway. They’re around 30 minutes alway so by the time it arrives I’ll submitting this blog post. I some…

I’ve been giving AdGuard 5.0.138 a try since it’s release and it has finally addressed a long standing problem – for example, one of the sites I use there is a search box, you click on the search box to put the cursor and what happens is a new window opens. In the new window…

Just reading though an Arstechnica article regarding the idea being floated around Google being broken up (link). When I hear proposals like this I can’t help but get the feeling that it is the old story of putting a proposal out there but secretly you have a lot more modest goals in place – a…

Went down the road today and bought a tandoori seasoned chicken for dinner along with some Japanese coleslaw – sitting in the oven cooking and will be reading in around 45 minutes. Given how easy it is to put together a half decent dinner at home these days I very rarely go to a restaurant…

Firefox 130 has been released (link) and everything is going well – responsive, uBlock Origin extension working wonderfully (looking forward to the release of uBlock Origin which appears to be packed with lots of bug fixes and enhancements). For me I’m not really interested in chatbots but my focus is mainly on standards compliance to…

Well, I see that AdGuard Safari Extension was updated in the last couple of days from 1.11.18 to 1.11.19 – the update includes updating the scriptlets library to 1.11.16 which adds new features and fixes existing bugs (link). I’ve still kept my custom user filters that I use rather than relying on the allow list…

I’ve been sick for the last couple of days then add to that the ‘winter blues’ I’m pushing myself forward – it’s difficult not to fall into slump and once in that slump trying to pull oneself out of it. We’ve had some crappy weather and it is difficult to keep being motivated with work…
