An Early Friday
Woohoo, short week! Today was marked as a closure day which means I get a slightly longer weekend, and after this week, I need it. Today has been damn hot for the UK and especially Wales with temperat...
MacBook Madness
There are times when I truly want to frisbee this overpriced machine out of the window as far as I possibly can. A lot of my day job is managing Mac's. To do this effectively, you need something runni...
Cortana Briefing Emails
Like many of us, I work with Office 365 - that's not something I can change. However, as of yesterday I began receiving the Cortana Daily Briefing emails and I have to admit, I quite like them. Daily...
Snowpiercer - Netflix Series
Last Friday, I finally caught up to Netflix's releases schedule for Snowpiercer. I hate having to wait for a new episode of things I'm really enjoying although it's probably for the best. This is one...
HDMI Switcher Update
After a short bike ride and getting everything done I needed to this morning, I finally got around to getting some game time in with Destiny this afternoon. This meant I had a chance to test the Techo...
Cupboards, Chargebacks & Running
Today has been an eventful day. It started off with a morning wake up call from my ever so trusty furry alarm clock of a cat at 5:55AM. So much for a lay in. Fed the cats, geared up and headed out for...
Reviving Grouper
I've had an old Nexus 7 (2012) tablet laying around not doing much for so long now, and the other night I wanted to look at a website on something a little bigger than my phone but not have to walk ac...
HDMI Switcher - Long Overdue
Something I've been meaning to do for some time now is get a small HDMI switcher for my office. This has become even more of a requirement since working from home much more as swapping HDMI cables bac...
Lemmy: A Reddit Alternative
I spend a lot of (far too much) time browsing the depths of Reddit across various topics. One of the subreddits I subscribe to is r/Rust as I'm interested in Rust but far too noobish to be able to do...
Day 52 - #100DaysToOffload
As per usual, today was a long day. There was nothing in particular that made it feel long, it was just one of those days. Especially after a crap nights sleep. I spent hours trying to convince SQL Re...
A quick look at HEY Email - Policy & Pricing
As I was browsing my feed, procrastinating from writing a post for this evening. I stumbled across this Toot from Chris which mentioned the new HEY email service from Basecamp. I was certainly intrigu...
Sunday Lazy Post
In true Sunday fashion, today has been pretty lazy. It started off with a short ride at around 7AM. I looked out the window, dry and overcast. Checking the temperature - good at 14c and very little wi...
Moving Mail
A few weeks ago I started moving my email away from Outlook. A lot of this is now being done by using randomly generated addresses to a custom domain which are then forwarding to a new mailbox away fr...
A Long Week
Thank fuck it's Friday, that's pretty much all I can say about this week. If someone could be awkward, they were. People falling for phishing attacks felt higher than normal this week too. I can't wai...
OTE Sports - Starter Pack
Just another quickie post today. My starter multipack from OTE Sports finally turned up today. It was originally ordered back on the 30th May with free delivery selected of 2-4 working days. On the 6t...
Day 46 - #100DaysToOffload
Today has been an entire day of meetings from start to finish. Earlier I'd had a few ideas about what to write but my brain is utterly fried. I think meetings should be banned as most of the time they...
Little Green Peas
Thought I'd just do a little post about about how our peas are coming along. I think they're looking pretty good! 3 Pictures of Kelvedon Wonder Peas growing in long tubs
Testing Installomator with Jamf
On 2020/02/06, there was a great post on ScriptingOSX on using Installomator with Jamf Pro. Today, I finally got around to it on my Todo list. Jamf Pro has quite an extensive list of software titles w...
Day 43 - #100DaysToOffload
I'm in full Sunday mood today. I can't be bothered to do anything at all. Today is very much a sofa Sunday with Netflix and looking forward to Sunday dinner.
FOSS in Destiny
I've written about Destiny breifly before on this blog but today I'm going to touch on some of the positive things the community does for the game. Managing your inventory within Destiny can leave a l...
