Website design, development and management. Plus, the occasional techie and Linux stuff. I also enjoy making walking videos.
What I'd give for a few months of sunshine. So much rain in the west of Scotland.

Scotrail's new AI announcer:

"Alight here for buses to Glasgow Ur-port".

Ooft!

I had a lovely morning walk. Spring is here.

April 1st - The most annoying day of the year. I can't wait to read all the 'hilarious' fake news stories.

Just walked the length of my street and discovered that only 3 buildings don't have roof damage from storm Eowyn. Mines is 1 of the 3 . I feel like I've won the lottery. Although, let's have a minute's silence for my fencing.

OK Storm Eowyn. Could you stop destroying stuff, please? You've had yer fun.

2 hours and counting for Windows 11 update. Any major update in my Linux install takes 10 minutes.

I really wish there was a viable alternative to Android and IOS. So many big tech companies seem to bake in spyware but we can't call it that, can we?

I deleted Facebook last year, having created my account in the early days when you needed an academic email. I haven't missed it at all (or Instagram).

Installed Archlinux on my ageing Surface Pro from 2017 as Microsoft is dropping Windows 10 support soon. Delighted to say that it blows Windows out of the water, although the initial setup was tricky. Windows was borderline unusable as it was so slow. Arch is responsive and has no bloat.

Just watched this crane operator delicately lift an electrical substation expertly between 2 houses. Give the bloke a medal. I'm glad they don't need to access anything next to my house as my heart was in my mouth.

I've just discovered Bluesky's rather splendid labeller function. www.bluesky-labelers.io
Labels are a way to categorize content and users on BlueSky. They are part of the moderation tools but they can be do lots of interesting things like foster community.

Occasionally, supporting Scotland gives you a wee braw moment. Two-Wan with a last minute goal. Pure gallus! #Scotland

Deleted my 17 year old Facebook account 2 days ago and I'm not missing it at all. That's Instagram, Messenger and Facebook gone. Twitter next methinks.

Deleted my Instagram accounts today. Building up to ditching Facebook and WhatsApp. The Zuck detox.

Scotland opening Euro2024 against host nation Germany. We'll scud them and Hungary and Switzerland. 😎

Ditching Windows 11 and installing Linux on my primary PC has been a delight. Linux really has come on leaps and bounds for gaming in the past few years.

I've started designing in Figma. It's so easy to use.

I don't remember Scotland ever qualifying for a Euros or World Cup with 2 games to spare. What a campaign!

Looking forward to the Norway vs Spain match tonight. The right result will qualify Scotland for the Euros.
