Yesterday was new bike day. I love new bike day! 🏍️
Will They Inherit Our Blogs?
I've been thinking about how this site may be able to live on after I'm gone. Maybe it could become a family heirloom?
FFS. Do I need to find a new email client as well as a browser now too?
🤦🏼♂️ #Thunderbird #Mozilla
Couple frustrations that I need to work through with #Vivaldi:
When I switch Gnome (Ubuntu) to dark mode in the evening, Vivaldi doesn't switch to a dark theme. Firefox does, so I'd assume this is a Vivaldi issue. 🤷🏻♂️
Some settings aren't synced between devices. Such as search engine choice, what the address bar displays when typing etc. This should be a one off thing as I get setup, but it's frustrating none the less, and things I'll need to re-do every time I get a new device.
I read this post about #Vivaldi business model, quickly realised they're the good guys, switched, and donated. There's some wonkiness compared to #Firefox, but I'll make it work.
When Was I Happiest?
My wife recently asked me at what point in my life was I the happiest. The answer surprised her.
Use the Bloody Shift Key!
I'm seeing a growing number of personal blogs that don't use upper case letters and for some reason it really irks me.
I just had the #LiquidGlass update forced upon my corporate iPhone and it's every bit as shit as everyone says. It's awful!
Linux in the Air
Sal talks about how Linux is going through somewhat of a revival at the moment, as well as some of his own thoughts on the whole Mac vs Windows vs Linux debacle, and I wanted to add some of my own thoughts.
TF is this, #Synology? Always "fun" when a random app is added to my device without my knowledge.

The Case for Blogging in the Ruins
In a web dominated by feeds and algorithms, Joan makes a strong case for blogging as a way to reclaim depth, ownership, and real thinking.
How You Read My Content (The Answers)
Two days ago I published a simple survey asking how you read the content I put out on this site. Here's the results of that survey.
I've Pre-Ordered the Clicks Communicator
I've yearned for a Blackberry form-factor for years, and now Clicks have made that wish come true. I had to pre-order one!
How Do You Read My Content?
I'm trying to get an idea on how people consume the waffle I put out, it should only take 5 seconds to respond, and I'd be very grateful.
Day 4 of having Flu. While having skin that's sore to the touch is just a barrel of laughs, the best part of the whole thing is:
Jacket on: Surface of the sun
Jacket off: Naked Eskimo
Good Riddance, 2025
I'm glad to see the back of 2025, so let's focus on 2026.
Was thinking about doing one of those year in review posts, but 2025 has been the worst year of my life, and I really don't want to put everyone on a downer. I'll save you all from that.
You know what's really shit? Having the flu while you're on vacation from work...
I can't believe my wife let me do this. I knew there was a reason I married her! 🤣🏍
Had a wonderful day yesterday. We hosted my family; there were lots of laughs, and way too much food. Just wholesome family time. Some tears too, as we all desperately miss my sister, but overall a happy family Christmas.
Today we have my wife's family coming to visit. Christmas is my favourite time of year.
