Dorchester Jumble Trail 2024
Had a good walk around the “Jumble Trail” this morning.
My wife bought a lot of plants people had for sale. Wasn’t really anything that caught my eye although the vinyl sale could have been tempting if I’d gotten around to purchasing a player yet.
Stuff this week #13
Lots of YouTubers covering the new iPad Pros making faux thumbnails of them holding the device when in actuality they don’t have a review unit, the review embargo isn’t up and it’s then just a video of them reading the features from the press release 🤦♂️
🕹️ Gamedle: 12/05/2024 🟩⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ > gamedle.wtf
We are going to Costco today and I am irrationally excited to pick up gigantic jars of jam and massive packets of crisps 😀
And who can forget 🌭🥤
But the 🍕 is 🔥 as well!
I wasn’t going to bother with a smart folio immediatley for the new iPad Pro, but that denim colour plus seeing its got the 4 positions now, I’m really tempted to pick one up.
Some heavy hard work this week including a few hiccups but boy…. some proper teamwork and kindness shown by the people I work with this week. I’ve been really impressed. 🤜🤛
A slightly sleepy Davey today as I was doing some out of hours work 2300-0100. Bed at 0200 after winding down a bit & making sure no one was going to call with any problems..
At least it’s Friday now!
A (slightly) not to plan Portland Walk
My wife and I were both off work this Tuesday so had decided to do a walk on Portland Island
You’ll see on the map that the directionality seems a little bit odd, especially with the T shaped portion that seems to indicate we went back and forth across the same part of the walk a couple of times. Well…that’s because we did 🤣
My random notes from the Apple iPad Event
My random notes from the Apple iPad Event. I’ve already made my choice and it should arrive next week.
1TB, Space black. Pro Pencil. Magic Keyboard.
Don’t really need the 1TB but I want the extra M4 core and 16GB RAM. With my current usage and how I split time between my Mac and my iPad Pro I’m going all in on the iPad Pro and making it my primary computing device.
Anyone wanna buy a Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard? Going at a reasonable rate? 🤣
Had a wonderful walk today in some gorgeous weather. Will start to edit and post the pictures soon, but I just found out the Apple thing is at 3PM BST so first it’s…. 👀💳🤣
My ivory subscription expires at the end of the month. I’m not going to renew it. It’s an ok app but I’m cooling on Mastodon, & they still don’t have multi instance support so it’s just not worth the £25 p/y for me.
One advantage of sub based software is being able to cancel & reassess.
Stuff This Week #12
The first “Stuff” post since February! How terribly unreliable of me 😱 1
Summer is allegedly coming for us even though you wouldn’t tell from the large majority of the recent weather, but it’s officially Strawberry Summer Cake Season so I thought I’d write this up as the cake cools on the rack.

I don’t really care 🤣 I write when I want to write. ↩︎
I was recently informed about the “visdeurbel” or “fish doorbell” and I love it as a nice bit of background streaming. 🚪🐟
It is 11am on Saturday. And instead of of doing anything productive I have just allowed myself to be a cushion for Trio… 🤣
Aww yeah I think it’s upgrade time for me 🫴💰
Finished Reading: The Raven Tower by Ann Leckie 📚
Loved this! Great fantasy tale of gods, humanity, politics and revenge. Plus some brilliant trans representation as well.
And for those of you wondering from this post “Hey, does that guy really own a copy of Parodius Da! Shinwa kara Owarai e…?”
You’re god damn right I do 🐙🤣🎮
sadly not a boxed one though 😢
