Day 100 - #100DaysToOffload
This is it, the final day, day 100. I truly never thought I would make it. I clicked the link to bring myself to this dashboard and kept getting a "Server not found error". That would have been typica...
A Flurry of Orders
I had to place a few orders today for parts for the bike. The postman is probably going to hate me but hopefully all the parts will arrive before next week when I have some time off. Some jobs to do a...
Updates & Organisation in Ghost
This blog has been up and running a while now and keeping it up-to-date has been truly effortless. It's simply a case of typing "ghost update". While I could automate this with cron, I much prefer kee...
Friday, Payday, Yay Day!
It's Friday, it's payday and as some others in the team like to call it, Yay day! What a long old week it has been. I won't go in to detail as I've moaned enough in my previous few posts. I'm actually...
A Bit of a Rush Post
Today has been an action packed fuckaroo (Dreamcatcher reference - Read it!). Not only was it my circle jerk Thursday, but we had settings deployed en-mass to every single user due to a script fuck up...
Too Busy to Talk
The return to work after a long weekend has been an utter disaster. Users were clicking on phishing emails left, right, up, down and all around willy-nilly with no regard for the consequences. Sometim...
The Final Few Posts - #100DaysToOffload
Today marks post number 94 of #100DaysToOffload and boy oh boy has it been a journey. I'll save the summary type spiel for post 100 but wow, I never thought I'd make it this far. Pre-amble With the im...
There's an App for that - Unfortunately
I was browsing Reddit earlier today and came across a story posted to r/privacy - "Headphones are collecting too much personal data". Before even reading the article my first reaction was that of comp...
Searching for Ghosts
In my never ending quest to find a suitable solution to my search requirements in Ghost, I finally came across Ghost Hunter jamalneufeld/ghostHunter \ A Ghost blog search engine. Contribute to jamalne...
A Quick Look - Microsoft PowerToys for Windows 10
Pre-Warning: I still need to add Alt-Text to the screenshots. I'm afraid I was in a rush in getting this post together. For those that need it, I apologise and it will be updated. I haven't done a Mic...
Day Off - Avoiding Computers & Phones
Today was the start of a long weekend. As much as I wanted to play games and blow shit up, I made an effort to stay away from my computer and phone screens. We all spend far too much time attached to...
A Long Weekend
Today is a cause for celebration. Not only do I have tomorrow off, but also Monday which makes this a full long weekend. This is probably a good thing as I have no idea how I was going to get through...
A Static U-Turn
Yesterday I posted about considering a move from Ghost over to a static site in an effort to save the $5/month I currently pay for hosting this particular blog. I received some fantastic feedback from...
Thoughts on Static
I've been thinking for a while that Ghost may be complete overkill for what I need, especially when #100DaysToOffload comes to an end as I'll be posting a lot less. Do I really need a full Linode runn...
A Roller-coaster of Emotions
There has been one thing that has got me through the fact that Monday means back to work after what feels like weekends that last about 5 minutes. That thing has been a new episode of Snowpiercer on N...
A Faulty Firefox
I began today with such good intentions, but that wasn't to be. I got a few things done but the research I planned on doing I can no longer be bothered to do after resolving an unexpected issue. After...
GitBook Emails
I recently posted about my not so positive first impression over GitBook. It's not that the service was bad by any stretch. More that I felt some fundamentals were needlessly locked behind a "Team" pl...
Diving in to The Matrix
As a bit of a follow-up to my previous post on taking a look at Matrix services I decided to venture down this rabbit hole a little further. I have been using an account on Mozilla's servers for a cou...
Where OS's Shouldn't Tread
I was wracking my brains for a few hours about what to write about today and couldn't really come up with anything until I started listening to the latest episode of The New Show podcast during my wor...
GitBook & Magnet
Today was the day where the MacBook almost got launched out of my office window in to the rain. Something that has always bugged me was it being completely incapable of remembering where your windows...
