It appears I’m an expert in procrastination. I'm heading off to bed now but at the moment I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Google - the last time I went into the Google ecosystem I found that the home experience wasn't all that good but I've also realised that the 'having everything…

Other than the cold weather, I feel good. Had a good day at work with it being uneventful and a steady flow of customers - I decided since I was working late tonight that I would have Friday and Saturday rest from going for a walk and just enjoy being inside my warm home (thank goodness the place…

Regarding the recent air strikes on Iran, the matter of the nuclear agreement is a smokescreen for the larger goal of regime change which goes back 20 years to the GWB administration - the belief that the US can do geopolitical engineering on a grand scale without any massive blowback.

Back to work on Friday. I'm back to work on Friday and Saturday (they couldn't find someone to cover for me on those days) however I'll have a three day weekend (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday). Tonight I went for a walk because there was a break in the rain so I wanted to take advantage of a dry…

Too soon to make a judgement but I’ll give my five cents worth. After staying up for the Keynote then heading off to sleep so I could wake up in the afternoon to watch the Platforms State of the Union I am gradually working through the sessions from WWDC 2025. So far I am greatly underwhelmed but…

The changes in iPadOS appear to be answering a laundry list of requests from power users who wanted iPadOS to be more macOS like. It'll be interesting to see whether we'll see Windows or Mac users migrating to iPad from traditional laptops/2-1 devices. #WWDC25

All ready for WWDC 2025 Keynote - buffalo wings in the oven cooking, I've moved the heater into the lounge room and got the YouTube app ready for the start of the keynote.

Looking forward to WWDC tomorrow. I'm probably going to head off to bed early so that I can get up at around 4:30am for the live streaming at 5:00am - I've got some nibbles set aside so I'll be all refreshed and ready for it and hopefully also watch 'The Platforms State of the Union' which is in…

Starting a much-needed holiday. I finished my work tonight at 8pm and I've been enjoying the first couple hours of my much-needed break - looking forward to WWDC but in the meantime I am giving Microsoft Edge a try and I might even give Office 365 Business Standard a try to see how it compares to…

Dying when giving birth in Texas due to a total abortion ban is a pretty good reason why I wouldn't want to live in Texas even with all the promises of 'no income tax' (ignoring the fact that Texas has high property taxes and other forms of taxation). www.youtube.com/watch?v=38AC...

One more day to go. Almost there, Sunday is my last day before I start my holiday off from work for a week - relaxing at home, following WWDC, doing some home cooking, maybe go for some travel such as up to Waikanae, maybe go into Wellington on a fine day for a walk along the waterfront and breath…

Two more days to go then holidays. Only two more days to go and then the holidays start. I'm looking forward to the WWDC Keynote and The Platforms State of the Union - the second one I find a little but more investing because although the presentation is still focusing on topics at the macro level…

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Too many Christians are transforming Christianity into a vertical faith, one that focuses on your personal relationship with God at the expense of the horizontal relationship you have with your neighbors,” writes our columnist David French.

Just a random thought: In reference to the recent drama, it'll be interesting if we end up hearing from Elon regarding DOGE that he wanted to audit and cut 'waste, fraud and abuse' in the department of defence but he was told he wasn't allowed to touch it. 🧵

A very wet day in Wellington. It has been raining all day with a lot of wind but thank goodness at around 11pm last night there was a small period of just a little bit of drizzle which allowed me to step out of the house for an 8km walk tonight - after being stuck inside all day it is nice to get…

I want to believe there will be a political price paid but something tells me that Iowans will slavishly vote for Republicans regardless of how bad things get in their own lives - if they haven't learnt by now I doubt we'll see a sudden change anytime soon. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Looking through some of the clothes I haven't worn in years (getting ready to donate them to the op shop) and I'm left asking myself, "what the heck was I thinking", but then I am reminded that we go through phases and I guess some of the shirts I bought when I was young believing they were 'cool'.

Back to work on Wednesday..a nice three day weekend. The wether was pretty lousy today so I still went for a walk (even after the long one I had on Monday) but only a small one, around 6km, I was tempted to go the full 8km but the drizzle was starting to get worse so I didn't want to be in a…

A productive day off. Today was a productive day, I visited my sister to hand back the laptop that I set up for her along with setting up the UniFi Dream Machine and UniFi AP AC HD resulting in a much better internet experience where (I ran a speed test and was able to hit 300mbps download and…

Happy birthday to me. I went out tonight with mum, sister, partner and two nieces for dinner to celebrate reaching the ripe old age of 44 years old. It is amazing how the years go so quickly and yet at the age of 44 I don't feel old, I don't feel like I'm slowing down or aging when compared to…

One day closer to my birthday and time off. Finished work tonight at 10pm and then went for a 10km walk - I was going to just do an 8km walk but I got to the 6km mark and decided I may as well go the 'whole hog'. I arrived back home feeling a bit sore but feeling good as though I had just…

That was a long walked. After work I headed down to the supermarket to pick up some random things that I ran out of along with something for dinner then came back home, had dinner then decided to go for a long power walk. How long was the walk? 16km, and when I came back I had sore legs, sore feet…

Busy night at work. Had a late start for work but I'm happy that tomorrow things are normal - I didn't go for my walk tonight because of the late finish but also because I wanted to do a whole lot of organising around the house. In my bedroom in the closest I have a habit of keeping all the boxes…

Late start tomorrow, great day today. I decided I needed to get out of the house after being stuck in day all yesterday - I went down the road and popped into the local bakery in the mall for a cheese and onion toasted sandwich, a piece of carrot cake and a mochachino. I had a look around the…

A quiet day at home. I decided to have a relaxing day hanging around at home - yeah, I like to get out of the house on my day off but today the weather was wet and cold so I decided hanging around watching some videos and having a tandoori chicken for lunch/early dinner was more the pace I wanted…

A week in review: Lots of AI hype but some gems uncovered.

I really do wish the US voter would learn but they won't - the US voted in GWB for a second term, 2 yrs after the fiasco of GWB 2nd term they voted to give the GOP a majority in both houses in the mid terms under Obama, they voted in Trump a second time after the chaos if the first time he was in. 🧵

@jenmsft.bsky.social Regarding the announcement around MAX_PATH, has File Explorer been updated to work with long paths or does it still have the MAX_PATH limitation even after allowing long paths in the register and policy editor?
