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…
Samsung Watch Battery Drain: How to Fix
Do you own a Samsung Watch and have noticed that the battery is draining much quicker than expected? I too had this problem and spent hours scouring the web for answers. I tried various “solutions” including uninstalling apps, using a darker watchface and even resetting the watch entirely. While this preserved a very small amount…
Things to do in Isolation
We’ve been in isolation for little over a week now and I’ve lost count for the amount of people saying that they don’t know what to do. I’m going to put together a few things that could potentially help you get through this and who knows; maybe you’ll get something out of it. Learn to…
Coronavirus (COVID19) UK Edition
If you’ve been keeping an eye on Worldometer like me, then you’ll already know what is happening and won’t need to read on. If not, then you’re probably asking; what is going on? Should I be worried? Here is information provided by the NHS in the UK. COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect…
Value My Website – Followup Post
It has been almost two years since I last wrote about this project, and it been three since I first wrote about it. A lot has happened since both of those posts in that it has grown organically to a point where it’s actually doing well for itself. I’m able to sit back and not…
