I am not even remotely ready this year. I hadn't even started picking up the few things I'd intended to get until today. Thankfully, I haven't exactly got much to get. But wow, I am so over Christmas. Mind you, I'm not

Something came up today regarding the topic of monitoring employee performance. An example was the average first response time to a support request. Now, I absolutely understand why you'd want to monitor these things to improve the service. However, my concern here is that if I'm

It's difficult to believe that it's already December 2025. This year has been filled with change, challenges, and opportunities. And who knows what else it has left in store for us before 2026 rolls around. There are so many things that I regret over the years,

This story from Reuters popped up in my feeds this morning: US Consumers Spent $11.8 Billion. That is a terrifying number. However, when broken down, it was only coming to around $45 per person based on ~ 77% of the population being over 18. Something that did make me uneasy,

I spent the entire week using Kate for work, rather than the usual Sublime, and the occasional tickle of VS Code. Overall, I have to say it has been, refreshing. I haven't needed or wanted to open either of the other editors a single time. So much so,
