New Steam Hardware for 2026
I know, it's all over your feeds, your inbox, probably in your ears, too. But there's really only one thing worth talking about today. And that's the hardware release announcement for the new Steam ha...
A Pleasant Day
There's been nothing special about the day, really. It's just been generally pleasant. It started with a nice run in the dark of the morning, with just enough light for me to see where I was going wit...
Apple iPhone Pocket
I know I've already made my post for today. But I was sat here perusing my news feed with the torrential rain hammering against the window. And up popped this news story from MacStories. This couldn't...
🏈 NFL to CFL
After not renewing my NFL GamePass subscription with DAZN this year, I've also taken an interest in the CFL. I'm not going to lie, it's been fantastically entertaining. I decided to concentrate my tim...
Tiny Experiments & Closing Tabs
I'm writing this one much later than I wanted to again, but time got away from me. That seems to happen much more often these days. Before I know it, the day is gone, and I haven't achieved half of wh...
Planning a New Home Office
I've been working from home full-time now since the beginning of the pandemic. It's changed a little during that time, but for the most part, has remained the same. I think it's time for an update. I'...
Ex Novo Arrives (Not a Review)
A while ago, I backed the Ex Novo Kickstarter, and today it arrived. Ex Novo is “a playable city-generator that helps you construct fictional cities and their turbulent histories.” The pre-print PDF w...
It's Friday!
It's day 2 of my second round of 100DaystoOffload, and it's Friday. What a long ol' week it's been. But a good one. Full of new challenges and interesting problems. But it's been tough. Today has been...
Round 2 of 100 Days to Offload
It is most definitely time to do this again. I need something to push me back into regular writing. Most days will likely be pointless waffle. Like this. But there may be an occasional nugget of inter...
Scared to Post
Even though this place receives practically no visitors, I'm still nervous about posting any thoughts. I have oodles of draft posts queuing up, my thoughts dribbling into text. But I just can't bring...
Learning More Docker & Fleet
I might be on leave, but today, I had to myself. And I used that time to learn more about Docker & Fleet. I've used Docker in a very basic way for a while to run an internal knowledge base. But I'...
Weekly Roundup 2025 - W31
Well, aren't I doing well. As I was writing this one, I realised that you didn't get the previous 2 weeks. That means you'll be getting 3 today! First up is a post from me about how I take notes and m...
Weekly Roundup 2025 - W29
Hey, future me, here. Most of this post was actually written weeks later, and all that was in here was a dump of links. First up, we've got the Guild Wars 2 Visions of Eternity announcement trailer. I...
Weekly Roundup 2025 - W30
I greatly enjoy Elevator Operator, and watching this makes me truly appreciate the effort that goes into various parts of the song that are often overlooked. But take it away, and it's entirely change...
How I Take Notes
Kev wrote a post – \[How Do You Take Notes] – about finding difficulty in taking notes, and keeping on top of to-do lists. And this is a topic I love. And hate … It's a very love/hate relationship. Yo...
New Phone Day - iPhone 16E
Well, technically, Monday was new phone day, but I didn't set it up until late afternoon. So Tuesday was the first full day with it. Coming from an iPhone 8, the size difference isn't that much, visua...
Firefox 141.0 Release - Disable The AI Tab Grouping
Today, Firefox 141.0 was available as an update. One that I was keeping an eye on due to a specific feature: AI Tab Grouping. Just … why? Now Firefox can help you keep your tabs organized, automatical...
Weekly Roundup 2025 - W28
Much like last week, it's been a long, busy week with not a lot of personal stuff being done. So, not too many picks of the week for you. This was by far one of the best things of the week. "Make me l...
Weekly Roundup 2025 - W27
A slightly shorter one for this week. It's been pretty busy, and I've done very little news perusing in the evening. Introducing Pay per crawl- enabling content owners to charge AI crawlers for access...
Running Belt Replacement Time
The time has finally come – some may say long past – for me to replace my trusty running belt. An elasticated belt that holds my phone and keys while I'm out in the world. But, it's not just my runs....
