I may or may not have just spent the last hour trying about eleventy billion different drivers for a network card in a PC I'm playing around with. Upon deciding to give up and pull the card to install another one, I found that it wasn't the one I thought it was so no wonder the driver wouldn't work.

I am getting very close to closing my Twitter account. I haven't yet because of reasons, but everytime I post something I get loads of spam accounts liking it. When I try to report it via my browser I get Oops there's a problem, so I can only do it from my phone. It's super irritating.

Meh - I was hoping for an M4 MacBook Air. I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max. I don't need a new phone.

I wish Apple would hurry up and announce whatever it is they're going to announce today so I can be happy in the knowledge I'll never be able to afford it.

I swapped IDE to compact flash adapters so I could get to the card externally rather than having to open up the case every day…aaaaand Windows has thrown a protection error that I can’t fix, so here’s to a reinstall.

Well my latest video has been a flop. It's only had 90 views :( I'm a little disappointed as I thought this one might be a good one. Any suggestions on how I might be able to bump up the views? youtu.be/1GUOXk7wRbA

I'm just reading up about bus speeds for the DEC. I have a spare 133MHz and 150MHz CPU. I'm tempted to install one and see what happens.

Windows 11 got deployed to my work laptop on Friday. My productivity today has gone way down because I'm having to set it up 'just the way I like it'. Least the boss is off so I don't have to worry about slacking off a little.

Good haul today: £10.19. A wired Switch Pro controller because I don’t want to worry about batteries and two CDRW for 20p lol

eBay are doing their best to push people away from the platform. The latest two things I've just learned about are private sellers items now include a protection 'tax'. If you list something for £9.99 it's actually listed at £11.11. Why should the buyer pay this? It's absurd.

My latest video doesn't seem to be doing well even for my standards :( Oh well! Better luck next time.

Before the new year I wondered on here if I'd reach 700 subscribers and now I'm 2 away from 800. I can't believe I've had such a mass influx of subscribers in the last 40 or so days! Thank you to each and every one of you!

I'm having a crisis. I'm off today so do I have a bagel or treat myself to a McDonald's breakfast? The former I can do now with little effort where as the latter would require me to GO OUTSIDE

So I have an ulcer on my eye. Yay. Going to be a fun few days ahead.
