  • Tomorrow off from work, getting closer to annual leave.

    Today was rather uneventful, had some good calls although I had a few who wanted to talk to the supervisor – nothing I could do and the call was unrelated to me. It is funny how sometimes you can have a quiet day then suddenly a day filled with people wanting to speak to a…

  • Back into a good routine.

    Finished work today and although the weather was looking pretty lousy I was able to squeeze in an 11.6km walk even with the drizzle. After coming back home, I grabbed a warm drink, showered then jumped into bed to watch a few YouTube videos and just as I did that I noticed that it started…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    I had a quiet day at home today – went for a walk around the block, sent off a the Google Streamer I sold online via courier as an overnight (it is easier for me to courier it than for the buyer to pick it up or me drop it off even though we’re in…

  • A busy day, lots of rain and moving back to Mac.

    Rather than being a hermit on my day off I decided to get out of the house and head down to the store to have a look around, check out what iOS 26 is actually like rather than the early judgements I made which were based on screenshots and videos. I decided that, after much…

  • Start of the weekend.

    Work was good today, felt a lot better after a few days of rest and I was fairly productive getting through quite a few emails as well as answering phone calls and following up with past enquiries. After work I decided to have tonight off since there is rain that is on and off so…

  • A day off from work.

    Woke up today with stomach cramps and felt under the weather so I decided to have the day off, resting in bed, drinking plenty of water to keep hydrated. I’ll need to have a good night sleep and see how things work out tomorrow but depending on what happens I’ll make the decision when I…

  • Raining and more rain.

    Today it was raining all day and raining at night – it really didn’t stop until around 2am which by that time was far too late to go for a walk. I decided to stay at home, have some vegetarian chilli for dinner while watching some YouTube videos (the vegetarian chilli would actually go well…

  • Rather uneventful day.

    Finished work tonight, went for my 11.6km walk, jumped in and had a shower and now relaxing in bad watching some YouTube videos. The day so far has been rather uneventful, got up, had brunch, logged into my computer and found that Google hadn’t released an update for Chrome – maybe something happened and it…

  • Three more weeks to go.

    I decided to go all out tonight and go for a 23.2KM walk – I really needed to go for a walk after a lazy day on Monday and after coming back it felt good having accomplished what I wanted. On my walk I like to use it as a time to consolidate my thoughts…

  • Software efficiency: The programmer’s time vs additional overhead.

    A few ideas have been rolling around in my head for quite some time so I thought I may as well put them out there – I could very much be wrong (most likely) but I’ll ‘put them to paper’ then see how embarrassed I am within a few years. A topic that I see…
