I set a new PB in Irish Runner 5K, it's now 22:12. I'm delighted. Hard training pays off.
Me in an orange and black singlet with bib number 476 on my chest and in maroon shorts. I stand in front of Irish Runner Series panel, and I wave my right hand. Distance: 5 km; time: 22:15; pace: 4:25/km.

Windows 10 and Windows 11 have different menu skins, and a selected / checked menu item no longer has a selected background in Windows 11. The screenshot on the left is from Windows 10, the right one is from Windows 11.
A menu rendered by Swing in Windows 10: the first menu item has purplish background around the red square to indicate it's selected; the third menu item has purplish background around the cyan square to indicate it's selected; the fourth menu item renders the default check-mark which also has purple background; the fifth menu item renders a green square as its icon; all the icons are aligned. The same menu rendered by Swing in Windows 11: there are no purplish background around icons so it's impossible to tell if a menu item with custom icon is selected or not, it's true for the first (radio) menu item and the third (check) menu item; the fourth menu item displays the default check-mark to indicate selection, there's no special background around the check-mark.

The 1st February marks the start of spring in Ireland. There are a few crocuses in the park, only orange ones so far. There'll be lots of them in a week or two. It's been quite chilly recently.

Often times a test doesn't fail until you integrate the change… and then the test starts failing in the CI. The captured image contains mouse pointer. A previous test left it in the area captured by this test. #openjdk bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8...

Yesterday we had a lunch in a restaurant to celebrate the release of JDK 23. It was nice to see everyone.
East Point Business Park, the entrance road with trees and paths on either side of the road. There is an office building on the right; a building on the left can be see farther away.

Installing a newer kernel in Linux Mint proved to be even simpler. Update Manager has a list of kernels (click Linux Kernels under View menu). Select a kernel and install it.
Screenshot of Linux Mint Kernels (part of Update Manager): You are currently using the following kernel: 5.15.0-92-generic (supported until April 2027) List of kernel versions on the left: 6.5 (selected), 6.2, 5.19, 5.15. The right pane: 6.5.0-15 (Supported until August 2024), 6.5.0-14 (Superseded) Screenshot of Linux Mint Kernels. Selected 6.5.0-15 kernel in the list. The Install button is highlighted. After installing and restarting, Kernels app in the Linux Mint Update Manager displays: You are currently using the following kernel: 6.5.0-15-generic (Supported until August 2024) In the list of available kernels for 6.5, the 6.5.0-15 version now displays ‘Active’.

Back to work.
My desk: on my main monitor the standard Windows 11 lock screen requesting to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and displaying current time 14:47; there's keyboard in the centre, mouse to the right, headphones to the left as well as lots of small stuff on the desk.
