Hello from my new #Thinkpad T480! migrating (shrinking) my drive from the 2TB in my #Framework to this 1TB was painful, but I now have my full #Ubuntu system back and no bloody MacOS to battle with. 🎉
My Best Sub £100 Purchase
Here's the best sub £100 purchase I ever made. What's yours?
Wife is out with friends, kids are playing in the park over the road, so I'm just sitting here, loving life and enjoying the sun with my furry friends.
Update on the #Framework - it's dead, Jim.
FW support have confirmed that the LED pattern I'm seeing are signalling a HW communication failure. So the board is shot.
Opened a claim with my insurance, so we'll see. In the meantime I'm seriously considering buying a T480. I can't bear this Mac.
Fugitive Telemetry (Muderbot #5)

I May Have Killed My Framework 13
I managed to spill a hole cup of coffee on my Framework 13 today. Let's hope I can fix it!
Urgh. Since dropping coffee all over my #Framework laptop, I'm back to using my M1 Mac. Jesus Christ MacOS is annoying, and Tahoe is fugly.
I take back pretty much everything I said in this post. I've bought a #SnowskyEcho just to see, loaded my old music on it, and it's pure joy! Discovering so much music that I haven't played for years.
I Wish I Could Talk to My Dad

Motorbike Servicing Rant
My BMW motorbike is due a service. I've had the price through and it's shocking!
Obfuscating My Contact Email
I read a great post about email obfuscation and decided to implement it on this site. Here's how I did it.
Why Have a Dedicated Music Device?
I'm seeing people move from music streaming, to a physical device. But I don't understand why they need a separate device for that?
