Once a month, I get an afternoon and evening to myself. I generally end up playing games for most of it, and that's precisely what I've done for the afternoon. I continued to play Assassin's Creed Odyssey. There was also a Black Friday sale

Today, I decided it was finally time to change my primary text editor from Sublime to Kate. No particular reason, apart from wanting to shift back to using more open-source tools in my day-to-day life where possible. Over the last 6–7 years, macOS has been my primary platform due

This morning's run was bloody cold. I think it was around -2 Celsius. When it drops below 0, that's when the Runderwear and Skins come out to play. It's been so long, I'd forgotten how hard it can be to get in

That's a terrible title, but I couldn't think of what else to write. How many of you out there played the original Guild Wars? Because I played the living snot out of it. Now it's getting some visual and audio updates, along with a

Firstly, let's begin with “What a day”. Like everyone else, Cloudflare outages for today made life much more difficult than it needed to be. I'm not going to get into my feelings on sticking everything on the internet behind Cloudflare. There are enough posts out there

The house viewing at the weekend went well, and I quite liked the place. It's not perfect, but I don't think I'd ever get everything I wanted. So, we've arranged a second viewing for the weekend, and they know we're

I woke up early this morning, so had a little time to myself. I decided that looking in to open-source personal finance tools would be a productive use of that time. Why? Who knows? The strongest candidate may be Actual Budget (GitHub / Website). Although, trying to get my head around

I used to enjoy monitoring and alerting thoroughly during my time on a systems team. Making use of Nagios, Icinga, Graylog, and implementing UNINETTNAV. In fact, I think NAV was, by far, one of my favourite and most enjoyable projects that is still in use over 8 years later. I

Friday, finally. Although it hasn't been a bad week, overall. But it's always a pleasure to see the end arrive. Where work moves aside, and a bit of time for my hobbies takes the spotlight. Hopefully. One large item on the agenda for tomorrow, however, is

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 hardware. I awoke this morning to this absolute mic drop

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 without my head torch. Just me, the birds, and

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 wait. There is no way of describing this, besides: It&
