  • A day of recovery.

    Today I spent the day at home recovering – I really wanted to avoid having time off from work but at the end of the day there is little to no benefit working if as a result you’re not as productive along with prolonging the recovery. I installed Chrome on my MacBook Pro to see…

  • A good day today.

    I had a fairly uneventful day today – some busy periods but mostly rather uneventful over all. When I woke up this morning I checked for updates and Apple had released an update for iOS, iPadOS and macOS in the for of 26.3.1 – the updates were pretty big (I have Apple Intelligence enabled on…

  • Today was a good day.

    I worked from home today because I was feeling under the weather to go into the office so I’ll be working for the rest of the week at home but I’ll be all recovered to go into the office next week. After finishing work tonight I went for a walk – had to wear a…

  • At the half way point.

    Work is going well and I noticed that macOS 26.4 beta 3 has been made available (link) which makes me wonder whether the delay could have been due to product model information being in the build – Apple always wanting to ‘make a splash’ when they launch products. It’ll be interesting to see how quickly…

  • Back to work tomorrow.

    I had a good night sleep but I’m still feeling sick with a sore throat and coughing but not sick enough to take time off from work so I’ve given my boss a heads up that I’ll be working from home all this week. I’ve been making sure this week that I’ve been having a…

  • Rain, rain and more rain.

    It has been a rainy day today so I’ve spent my time at home relaxing, recovering, watching some videos and catching up on the news all while trying not to get too anxious about the world. For lunch/dinner tonight I had some chicken, steamed carrots with garlic butter and some fresh bread which was satisfying.…

  • Two more days to go.

    I had an enjoyable dinner tonight – a nice balance of fresh vegetables and meat made the meal satisfying but not to the point of feeling too full. It is the one thing that I do these days when I have a dinner delivered is making sure that the meal is balanced rather than refined…

  • Work went as well as to be expected.

    A rather uneventful day so far – I love working from home, being able to have a cup of coffee within arms reach or being able to sit in front of television when having dinner/lunch. I was reading through the Chrome platform status for the next version of Chrome (link) and there is some interesting…

  • Get ready for a whinge and a whine.

    Before I start, I’ll give an update on how things are going. Work was great today, went into the office, the weather was nice and there was a nice vibe to the office although I have to admit I’ve been a bit lazy recently so I need to get myself back into working a bit…

  • Back at work.

    First day back at work, had a one on one to track how things are progressing – I’d sooner get told amount something that needs improving rather than never getting the opportunity to fix something. The day wasn’t too busy so during the slow periods I focused on getting some house keeping out of the…
