Last week, my boss told me he was impressed that I had 0 sick days in the last 12 months, especially considering the sudden break up of my marriage.
This weekend, my body obviously decided that he was right and that it should remind me what it was like to be sick. 😕 Been laid up all day with a horrible cough, chills and headache. Oh, fun!

@… just listened to episode 195: my work is mostly using Gen8 i3 and i5's and we have to upgrade to Windows 11. A lot of the legacy laptops will need to be replaced, but most of us (and most of the refurbished laptops we get) are Gen8's and although they *just* about work on Windows 11, I suspect they will have to upgrade many people in about 18 months.

One of my colleagues has been having a lengthy discussion about Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) that work enforced. We had (and still have) loads of issues with it, but management says it's fine, just use this option (which they haven't turned on).
My colleague suggested an alternative - a third party app. The response was, I kid you not:
"Yeah, I looked at that, but it's open source and we don't know what it's doing behind the scenes"
:elmo…

I've never heard AI explained so well as this. This is exactly what all the hype feels like, I'm glad I'm not imagining it.

Watching my 14 year old play Terraria and have absolutely no idea what is going on. I suddenly understand how my dad felt watching me play Worms 2 all those years ago.
Feeling old 🤣

After only 4 hours of sleep last night and in an attempt to not sleep at my desk, I was looking at trying out @… for my notes (till I can understand how to set up Emacs on multiple devices efficiently) because I wanted to start writing notes on my Music learning.
During a cursory investigation, I found it has an extension for ABC Notation (

In today's episode of "That's F****d up!":
My work bought a licence for a well known software. The user got a new laptop, and asked us to re-install it on their new laptop. We had the email saved from said licence purchase which held the download link. That link has now expired. I asked the company to send a new link.
"Sorry, if you want to use it again, you'll have to buy it again" 😮
