I love my MacBook Pros, but whoever decided to put the camera underneath the point where you put your thumb to lift the lid is a moron.

Absolutely definitely did not spend the evening sorting out repurposing our Sky dish for use in Plex and then adding in some automations to dim the lights etc when starting a movie.

Finally committed the first lines of code to my Rust project last night. It’s taking so much mental capacity to get my head around borrowing and ownerships and lifecycles, as well as a more functional approach than I’m used to, but it’s good fun to plod along with.

Today has been one of the days of all time. Car getting hit in a hospital car park with no note left is definitely a great bit of icing.

I have an emergency PAYG sim that I keep around to put in a 5G router if our home network connection goes down.
The provider cancelled it today for lack of use, and then sent a “sorry you’re leaving” questionnaire.
I’m not leaving ya plonkers, & I remember the days PAYG sims would last forever 👨🦳

It never ceases to amaze me how different the approaches to an endurance race can be.
In my experience, the least experienced go in trying to plan every detail. Stints, schedule, etc.

Got my beloved Berghaus coat back from their repair service today and I am super glad - it’s been a bit cold in without it.
Pretty awesome service they have there to just repair stuff for free.
