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

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…
January
In brief; January hasn’t been too bad at all. I have been learning a new (old) technology called Oracle, which means has meant that I am keeping to my goal of expanding my knowledge. I unfortunately came down with the flu which meant I was out of action for a few days and for some…
2020
Welcome to 2020, the year where absolutely anything can happen. I say this because it’s true. Like a renewed faith in life, everyone will be scurrying to do anything to improve their lives. It is a brand new decade after all. So, moving on to the resolutions for the year. Did you set yourself any?…
End of Year Review
I’ve been very lapse toward the end of this year in terms of writing posts and I know I can say that I will do my best to rectify the situation; but I know that will never be the case. I’ve put it down to poor time management and life has got in the way…
IsItDown.me
This is something that was knocked up relatively quickly when I stumbled across the domain isitdown.me being available. The basis of this project is to allow anyone to simply type in the website address they are trying to access and my external server will try to hit that domain to determine if it’s down for…
