Got a surround sound setup for my lounge today. I’ve just spent the last few hours listening to TV and Music encoded in Dolby Atmos. Coming from stereo - What an experience!
note
It seems the longer any holiday extends, the more difficult I find returning to work again. If I didn’t know I’d feel even worse afterward, I’d plead for one more week off.
I legitimately found a good use for Soulver today, calculating the conversion of rgba values into rgb, based on a known background. Not the apps fault I haven’t used it much, I just don’t use math as much as I ought to.
I somehow made it to middle-age without using Git. What a revelation! I feel like I have versioning super-powers. I’ll check that one off my ‘Pretend to be Technical’ list.
Eight hours after I congratulated myself on eating healthy today, I’m reflecting on the empty packet of cookies on my desk, wondering exactly how they just disappeared.
Tuned into my local radio yesterday. The host was seeking reassurance that letterboxd was a legit service.. Amazing in 2025 to realise so many people aren’t exposed to whole swathes of the internet I take for granted.
Hyper-focusing is one of those superpowers which is its own kryptonite. The longer its in effect, the more your life falls apart.
Hmmm. The battery on my Apple Watch Series 6 is barely limping over the twelve-hour mark now. Not even that, assuming I’ve stuck to my goals for the day. Time for a Series 10?
That moment when: your seven-year old child, visits the town you grew up in and says ‘I love this place, Dad’. Beautiful.
The 12-24 month delay with crowd-funding projects delivering has resulted in me reaching something approaching peak-consumerism. No space to put things, more things keep arriving. I feel naughty.
Hunting for rentals as a single man in my 40’s is both a luxury my wage (barely) affords me, as well as a depressing reminder that I’ll never own my own home.
Playing ‘Idler’ games is like some form of addictive drug for my personality. I should problably stop.. tomorrow.
