Inside Ukraine's Kill Zone
Really interesting (and saddening) look at the front line in the Ukraine/Russia war.
Carl's Doomsday Scenario
The second Dungeon Crawler Carl book was just as good as the first one. Straight onto to 3rd!
The New Patrol
The second book in the Liam Scott series by Andy McNab. It's close the the bone in parts, but my oldest son enjoyed it.
This is what rainy days were made for. 🌧️🐶
A friend asked for help setting up a blog, so I went with #Pureblog (obviously).
We went from nothing to fully working blog, with all the customisations she wanted in about 25 minutes.
I know I'm bias, but I love how flexible and powerful Pure Blog is becoming.
Dungeon Crawler Carl
First book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and it was bloody brilliant!
Gamifying Snacking with Snacker Tracker
Evening snacking has long been a problem for me, so I built a tool to help me gamify it, which is working well so far.
The Smell of AI
I thought this was another AI hate piece, but then I found myself nodding along.
I regularly get marketing emails off the back of this site. "Here's a free license for our tool" or "can we put a link to our service in a post?" At least back then they were slightly human.
Now all I get are AI generated shitty emails with no personality whatsoever. Not bashing AI, I'm bashing the lazy marketeers.
Working great 👍🏻
Last November I replaced my oldest son's PC with an £88 iMac that was so successful that I'm now doing the same thing again for my youngest son!
On Publishing Your Salary
I don't think I agree with publishing your salary online. Here's why...
Rebirth
The 4th book in the Extracted series, RR Haywood continues to make these books great.
Wife: I need help clipping the goat's hooves. Here, hold this...
Me: ...
Follow up from this post - I just signed into my Vinted account (to delete it) and it didn't send me an MFA SMS so how the fuck is me giving them my number securing my account in any way?
The internet is fucked.
Brilliant. I'm such a "valued customer" that they couldn't even be arsed to put my name in the email.
Why is it even necessary to have a "business intelligence database" with a 3rd party? I ordered a fucking laptop. Can a tech company not create their own customer database?

I have a habit of giving all our pets nicknames, there's many of them for each of our dogs. We've Nelly for 4 days and already I have:
Nells Bells
Nelly Bean
Nelly Furtado
Man Eater (after the song)
Nelly the Elephant
It's anyone's guess which will stick. Our other dogs, Tia and Sid, are t-bone and squid (short for Sqidley) respectively. 🤷🏼♂️
New Pets, Sick Pets, and Hemorrhaging Money
It's been a crazy (and expensive) couple months at home!
Thinking about selling the 64GB RAM from my laptop and paying off my mortgage...
Our new addition to the family, Nelly, has arrived and she's causing havoc already. 🤣
