So recently, I somehow sent 2 ciders to a Wetherspoons on the other side of town (oops). Then on Tuesday, I didn’t notice the AC hose had escaped, turning my room into a sauna at 37°C. Meanwhile, I spent three days trying to turn on my 3DS XL with the WiFi slider—classic me!

I now have a Bluesky Starter pack. Not just ham radio people, but a few others I like too. Likely to be added to when home from holiday.

Saw Deadpool & Wolverine earlier. Great film. Want to see again to see what I missed as these types of films need a few viewings. Also needed popcorn.

I've taken my Surface Book 2 away and a USB C 65w charger. It seems the Surface style charger needs 102w to charge the Tablet (battery 1) & the keyboard (battery 2). Amazon order put in for after market one. Will then stay in my travel bag. Lesson learned.

I now have a small but growing list of Ham ops. Feel free to check out my list. It's more likely to be people I've met or I like what they do.

After 6 months of using my other callsign G1ZQN, I'm back to M0TZO. G1ZQN was my Uncles and I was considering moving to it completely, but I like my own callsign.

I have 2 UK callsigns, and keep flip-flopping between which I will keep if/when I have to lose one in the future. I was going with my G1ZQN, but I have so much invested in M0TZO, that in November, I'm going back to M0TZO. It's been fun using my Uncle's callsign and will keep as long as I can.

The "Winget" command line feature on Windows is my new favourite thing. Much easier to find upgrades for packages and then actually upgrade most of them. (I'm aware may have been in Windows a while, but I've just recently found it).

Shout to healthchecks.io as I was having possible power issue with a Raspberry Pi tracking flights and found this site to monitor it being up. Using Free plan, but seems useful.
