I don’t think it’s going to make it till September without a fight. My Series 4 is spending as much time on the charger as on my wrist.

Certainly should be seen as an act of citizenship sto stand down unlike the other side’s acts of defiance.
I won’t be the first to say that plenty of brave men and women have actually taken a bullet for democracy, or watching helpless as those close to them did so. Somehow I don’t think he qualifies given the lack of understanding of what a democracy actually means.

Zuck once again demonstrating there is nothing Social about his preferred form of media, just endless ads and junk content.
Summertime question, to buy or not to buy
There is the annual summertime debate over purchasing anything new in the summer or waiting until the next round of hardware releases is announced (hopefully) later in the year.
Specifically I’m deliberating over between
- Buying a refurbished MacBook, and getting more for my money than I could for new
- Waiting until the next round of Macs are released
There is no urgency in my case, merely impatience as I’ve been putting off this purchase since the M1 and the lack of both hardware and software support for my (now) legacy MacBook is increasingly frustrating. The compromises I’ve made to keep this machine running via a suite of external SSDs and USB hubs has lost its charm. I’ve waiting this long. Can I really wait another 3, 4, 5, maybe every 6 months?
Absolutely.
However I no longer want to wait despite my head telling me that option 2 is the far more sensible thing to do given the potential performance leap in future M4 MacBooks.
Against this is my acceptance that all M4 Macs will probably cost more than the current M3’s. Driven both by Apple’s steadily increasing pricing for new hardware and and the reductions available when considering refurbished Macs.
So I go round in circles, without any decision or progress….
Wondrous
Tomorrow marks our anniversary in our first home together and I’ve never been happier. I don’t I can express how I feel about her, our home and the local area. It’s Wondrous.
Without question the most unique selfie I’ve ever posted. Shoulder is all clear but still “frozen”
The rest of the world looks on in disbelief.
Wow. Did he just dodge a bullet twice in 48hrs?
I couldn’t agree more. Except I’d rather he was out the way entirely.
This would be huge
Independence Day. Finally we can be free from these clowns.
It turns out building bridges is hard…
Turned on the coverage from Glastonbury Festival and aged about 130 years. Can’t say I’ve heard of anyone other than a handful of acts and some of content sounds like a Nokia ringtone from 1998.
Mmmmm… What goes up just come down…
One of the things I can look forward to with a modern Mac is modern Apple Notes. It’s functional but limited to me since 2019 and so most of my notes are “pre-historic” rubbish.
Well that was summer…. It’s like a winter’s night

I really don’t to find a single bee and certainly not 180,000 bees in the ceiling.
I can only hope that the trend of the UK Election Opinion Polls continue to next Thursday and bring to bear a crippling defeat to incumbent and impotent government, who’ve failed this country over the last 14 years.
Who knew there was such a thing as the World marmalade championships.
Fun to read the blogs from those travelling. I need to do the same the next time I’m travelling.
MacBook decision time?
After many months/years of contemplating updating my ageing MacBook Pro I’ve accepted the reality is that I don’t use it long enough or “hard” enough to warrant a Pro, and that an Air will probably suffice.
What’s my real justification for purchasing a pro Mac rather than more consumer machine?
I’ve argued in my own head that I’d need the ports on the MacBook Pro, and would benefit from the higher spec display. But this is all hypothetical. My external drives are connected through a hub and it’s feasible to do the same after any upgrade.
Today I opened my MacBook today to a notification that had not been backed up in a week. This is the result of using my phone or my iPad rather than using the MacBook at all in the last 10 days. If that’s the case more often that not then what’s my real justification for purchasing a pro Mac rather than more consumer machine? It’s not in frequency of use and certainly not in software or use cases.
Instead I should save my money and go for the Air. I can always return and upgrade to an Air if I really need any more horsepower or need the additional ports to function. I can address the port limitations of the Air with a hub, either what I already have or something new. I don’t actually need a TB4 dock so I can forgo my aspirations for such a brick sitting on my desk, where I’d use 5-10% of it’s real potential.
What does this mean? Until Apple bless us with a new range of M4 MacBook’s Air, then I should press the order key and finally get some hardware from this decade.
But I’ve been here before. So I’ll have to wait and see is this is relevant in a few months.
Really enjoyed seeing an Apple 1 in National Museum of Scotland. Just a pity it was a rushed visit and I could only photograph it through the glass.
