Wow, it has been ages since I posted something on my blog – so many things occurring at work as well as home such as getting myself better organised to cook meals at home, taking public transport rather than my scooter because the weather is absolutely atrocious or just plain cold (most nights getting down…

I have to prefix this post with an apology – my aim was to get it up last week but I ended up losing track of time, lots of stuff happening at work, wanting to get into a good routine by going to bed early – I find that with the earlier starts due to…

Well, I’m giving Safari Technology Preview release 126 a try while working on a post I’ll be putting out on Monday regarding the Windows 11 launch and how Microsoft’s vision compares to what Apple put out there on WWDC 2021 – let’s put this way, WWDC 21 was a let down when compared to the…

Watching some of the session videos from Wednesday – Apple has added support for the declarativeNetRequest being called by Webextensions API which provides very rudimentary content blocking but I doubt it is sufficiently flexible enough to bring over the heavy hitters such as uBlock Origin (which has a sizeable following) – Google also seem to…

Well, the first day of WWDC 2021 was interesting (in terms of the absence of major user visible features) – watching both the keynote and platform state of the union was a lot more subdued than when compared to last year but I think that has less to do with ‘we’re doing less with the…

Apple has released updates for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and tvOS – there are a tonne of security updates included with it particularly when it comes to the Webkit framework (link) as well as the firmware on my iMac and MacBook Pro both being updated to 429.100.7.0.0 – the firmware includes microcode updates for bugs…

Google had their big I/O conference today (link) – a lot of the details have been getting leaked over the last few weeks but there wasn’t much announced but this may change once there is the Wear developer session is made available. The information that was announced was pretty much an acknowledgement that Samsung’s attempt…
