There’s a few things that aren’t really clicking at work. Probably a sign that the team overall are juggling too much and not focussing on the must do’s with the results that some plates are dropping. I need to carve out more think and do time and less back to back meetings.
The last week has felt like the height of summer. Long warm days and still light late into the evening. In fact most of May has felt like it and April was pretty dry and warm too. Nothing better than an ice cream on a hot afternoon – La Gelatessa on the South Side of Glasgow does amazing small batch ice creams. Saturday was no exception but the queue was huge…and the sun was fierce. So the ice cream was top notch as always but came with a slightly burnt neck. Toasty.
Finally moved broadband provider, from Virgin to Zen via CityFibre. Plumped for their Full Fibre Max package which promised 2300Mbps up and down. Wasn’t expecting to get that kind of speed but really wanted a much better upload than Virgin have ever offered. After a bit of faffing and some moving of cables the speeds on the Mac Studio are really impressive.
The install itself did take 2-3 hours as the team had to dig a channel through the garden into the house. CityFibre can’t reuse any existing infrastructure – Thatcher strikes again – but shows the lack of smart thinking around our city and town infrastructure that passes on so much waste throughout the system. Alongside the impressive speeds, ping times have been rock solid and an improvement on Virgin too. We’ll see how reliable the service is over the coming months but I’ve been impressed so far…but it’s only day 3!
Antinote is a beautiful little note taking App for the Mac. $5, lots of options…love it.
Really enjoyed this post from Gordon on his accidental career. I look back at mine and it’s definitely been one with no real plan…and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Andor Season 2 is setting a real high bar. Half way through and loving it.
Favourite bit of media this week was from ATP – a Top Four Game Consoles episode. You need to be a member to get this episode but it was class. Will need to write up my top four soon.
