If you have taken a look at my projects section recently, you’ll notice I have a new project and it’s not web-based. Wtf?! I know right.. I’m pushing the boat out. As I have the URL shortener project – from time to time I’ll sometimes get spammed with a load of URLs being created that…

Brrrrr!
It’s so cold, all the time. Is this what it feels like getting old? Or has working from home for the last two years changed my internal temperature? I think it must be an age thing. Ten or so years ago I was thriving in the cold and hated the sun with a passion. Can’t…
Task Failed Successfully
Remember that post at the end of the year where I said I’d be trying to post at least once a week? Well that failed already. I thought I had pre-written something for the first week, but it turned out I didn’t – then I started writing something for the second week and that also…
The 2022 Schedule
If you read my most recent post then you’ll know that this is where I’m aiming to write the schedule for the next 12 months. If you didn’t, then go read it now (it’s a quick read). At the end of 2020, I wrote a schedule that I would have struggled to keep to, even…
A Year In Review (2021)
This is merely a follow-on from my previous post and a very basic review of what happened this year. Started the year in a lockdown Had two vaccines and a booster Spent a night in hospital Enjoyed a family vacation to Greece Learned a new programming language Watched a lot of TV shows (Squid Game…
Captain’s Log
I have been consistently inconsistent with my posts this year and didn’t keep to the proposed schedule at all. You know how it is; life can be so demanding. What’s happened since? I posted about a scam page and ended up having it removed from Facebook. I only took this one on due to seeing…
Scam Alert: Wetherspoon’s Fan Page
This has been going on for a quite some time now and I’m still seeing people falling for it, so I thought it was time to do a write-up about it and what you can do to keep safe in the future. If you’ve been to this Facebook Page: facebook.com/WetherspoonsFans then I would highly suggest…
The End of 2020
2021 is fast approaching and I would like to be able to say that there is no way it could be any worse than the year that just happened, however I would probably end up eating my words. I will at least wish for a better year. Not just for myself, but for everyone. Now…
Android 11 – Nova Launcher Bug Fix
If, like me, you have recently updated to Android 11 and use Nova Launcher or Nova Launcher prime, you’re probably pulling your hair out every time you head back to your home screen and it reverts back to the standard android layout. I hear ya’. I suppose you have also tried to set it as…
2020 – The Year to Write-off
Looking back at my end-of-year post from 2019, I was so optimistic about what 2020 could offer. In fairness, the first two months weren’t all that bad – there was the trip to Greece and I was probably the healthiest I had been in a long time. Fast-forward 9 months and we’re in the 2nd…
