Saw an article that looked interesting. Saw that the first subhead was “Synergy”. Bailed on that article.
Huh. Just discovered that I still had AMP turned on for Coffee & Complexity. Another Google project that went nowhere.
It’s off now.
It must be an utterly thankless life being an Apple rumour-monger, even a Bloomberg-employed one.

I used to live in fear of doing this. It still makes mes me wince when I see it in a magazine.
Early morning mist over the Adur.
The ruins of Hillfoot House, near Dollar in Scotland. Photographed in 1983.
Even these ruins are gone now, apparently, replaced by a modern new house. My friends and I used to play in and around the ruin as pre-teens.
Mum, March 1983.
Yikes. I need to do better than that.
Well, who doesn’t?
Today I have been moving over 30Gb of videos around my network, archiving footage from livestreams and other events.
Every single file I’m moving is many, many times the size of the hard drives of my first few Macs.
Ah, who can fail to love one of these?

A sign of spring.
Living at the coast takes a special kind of stoicism and hardiness. And a readiness to make hay while the sun shines. If you are born to it then it’s just a part of life.

Sad times for Portuguese D&D fans.
Turns out I can’t spell phoenix to save my life. I have a complete mental block over how to spell it correctly.
Yes, I had to look it up for this post. 🤦🏼♂️
So, just starting to get my head around micro.blog’s new premium offer. It took me a while to twig that, when you set up a new blog, you’re the same user, but with an additional blog.
That means that some of the automatically set up things - like an About page - make little sense, because they’re pulling from your original user account.
It’s all fixed by creating a new About page. But it feels like we could do with more per blog customisation settings, if more users are going to have multiple blogs.
So, Reddit is selling all the free labour of its users to an AI company to train its model.
Well, that explains the API changes last year…

I hate chasing invoices. But it looks like I’m going to need to do it today or tomorrow.
Ugh.
Super rare night out for me - at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in Brighton.
