Is there a long running franchise that is in good shape? It’s all looking rather tired. Hopefully new things will emerge…

People trying to make ‘overstand’ a word are hilarious 😂

Great place to cycle!

A RestAPI for every SPA website was probably overkill on reflection.

Struggling to do anything creative lately. Not sure how to fix 🫤

Watching the demos in the UK live is far more interesting than the media coverage.

I am not used to ill health. Glad I had a great dentist a short walk away from home.

Considering playing Cookie Clicker on the train on Friday. 🍪 I don’t usually bring it on journeys but it might be worth the extra weight.

Copilot is great for generating little specific Powershell scripts. Very useful for work.

Always fun watching the sailing!

Looking at my YouTube subscriptions, my viewing has become more TV like. This is not an intentional move. I do prefer the authentic voices but the grind of media seems to put off the kind of person I like to watch.

Microsoft Edit is very nice. Will be using it all the time at work.

Started writing a chapter 1 last night. Was fun. Need to get a draft done and not agonise every sentence.

Exploring.

My thinking over the current AI fad has been that it would fade out in a year or so. Now thinking it will push people off the Internet entirely. In what numbers? Hard to say. But I think people will just get fed up, find it less useful and be more selective with sources. Time will tell.

I had totally forgotten about Steam streaming! Sitting on my laptop and streaming Cookie Clicker from my Beelink desktop.

I don’t seem to code as a hobby anymore. This is a little sad but I could get back to it fairly quickly I suppose.

Reinstalled my laptop to get a clean Xfce setup unpolluted by KDE. Glad I did. Feels nicer. Of course, Linux runs great on this i3 laptop but to be fair Windows 11 ran pretty nicely too.

I started with KDE on this laptop but as soon as I started wanting to simplify the desktop ‘stuff’, I realised I would save a lot to time switching to Xfce. All good now. Removed the dock and moved the main panel to the foot of the screen and auto-hid it.

Good to be outside today 🌳

Woke up. Installed Debian. Happy.

Wish my windows were this pretty! 😁

When buildings were built to last.

I should write a paper on the transition of accents during train journeys south.

Lunch walkies!

It’s Trek Tuesday! TOS Season 1 Episode 3.

I am going to miss Windows Map app. It was good. 🗺️

I seem incapable of buying a computer lately.

Winter is not so bad.
