Can someone wake me up in 2028? Assuming there is one.
If there’s one thing I dislike more than folk who don’t clear up after their dog, it’s those that do and then leave it in a plastic bag on the ground. That doesn’t solve the original problem and creates another one, e.g. litter. If you can’t be arsed to do it properly, don’t do it at all. The plastic bag is more harmful than the dog pooh. WTF is wrong with you?
Started rewatching Police Squad. I’d forgotten how wonderfully absurd they were. “One of those all night wicker places” 😊 Literally crying here 😊
Does LinkedIn just show whatever job ads it feels like now, regardless of the search criteria added? A search for ads for “C#” often returns ads with no reference anywhere in them relating to C#. Somewhat negates the point of having search criteria.
When a room for £75 a night is actually £158 per night… How can the fees be more than the room cost lol? £60 cleaning? For that, it’d be tempting to trash the place just to make sure you got your monies worth!
If the bandwidth requirements for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 are accurate, I won’t be on the buyers list. My rather pathetic 37 meg line barely copes with the current version.
My second (and final) Ember mug has given up the ghost.
After a year and a half, my second Ember Mug doesn’t want to hold its charge. After a chat with their support, they’ve stated that it is “at least 6 months past our 1 year warranty - the battery may not be able to hold a charge anymore” (I’d estimate it’s around 6 months past). Now, I don’t expect batteries to last forever, but if I’d known in advance that they only expect it to last not much longer than the warranty period, then I probably wouldn’t have purchased one, never mind two. Perhaps it’s there in the small print. They’ve offered me a new mug (just the mug - no coaster or charger) for around £65, but that doesn’t seem a good deal any longer knowing it’ll likely fail again in a little over a year. Time to look for alternatives.
I’m loving my new Boox Go 10.3
I really wanted a larger eInk device for reading (books, Pocket articles, Libby magazines, RSS etc) as well as a digital notebook and the Boox is proving up to the task. So much so, I have put my Remarkable 2 on eBay. Very impressed. And beautiful build quality to top it all off.
I’m going to try and post more to my Micro.Blog - I have MarsEdit as part of my Setapp subscription, so I’ve really no excuses for not doing so!
Finished reading: Fairy Tale by Stephen King 📚Definitely my favourite book of the year. Possibly also of the last decade. Absolutely loved it.

Love my new Kobo Libra Colour 😊 Can now catch up with all my lovely NASA reference books and my Pocket articles look so much better. Also enjoying the snappy new processor.
Finished reading: The Fog by James Herbert 📚
Year in books for 2023
Here are the books I finished reading in 2023. Not my full list, as I didn’t fully use Epilogue, but intend to more fully this year.
Finished reading: The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly 📚 First one of the year complete.
