Happy New Year!
Is there anything more horrifying than watching your 22 months old grandson mash banana into your OLED TV?
Over the last couple of years, my monitor count has gone from 3 to 2 to 1. I used to enjoy having lots of applications spread across multiple screens in front of me, now enjoy just having the application on screen that I'm actively using. I'm not entirely sure why this happened, maybe it's because I'm getting older, or maybe it's due to the improved performance of touchpad gestures in GNOME, or a combination of both. Whatever the reason, I'm currently enjoying using a single monitor.
Spent the last two weeks travelling around the bottom of Florida with Becky. We saw lots of wildlife including alligators, manatees, turtles, pelicans and tarpons. We drove the Florida Keys road and visited the Everglades national park. We also attended the Homestead rodeo, which was epic. We did some touristy stuff in and around Miami, including a day at South Beach, a boat trip around PortMiami and a ride in the Miami observation wheel. It was a lovely holiday. I also turned 50.
Happy New Year! I hope 2025 is good to us all.
So, Back To The Future Musical was epic. Back on the CHOO CHOO train and heading back home.
I’m on a CHOO CHOO train heading to London to see Back To The Future Musical.
I finally got around to adding a dark mode to my website. I guess I should have done this a while ago. Apologies for blinding any dark mode users.
Tonight, I have mostly been building flat packed furniture. It’s a bit like Lego for grownups, not that grownups can’t play with Lego. That said, I think Lego comes with better instructions and is more fun, it also weighs less and is easier on my aging joints. Thinking about it, I’d much rather play with Lego.
