My on call shift is done. 🥳
I have 5 working days until I go on holiday and I need it! My “effort” gauge dial is trending downwards.
Need to recharge the batteries after the workloads of the last few weeks 🪫
Just found out about micro.camp. I can’t tune in live but I’ll check the stream out later on. What a neat idea!
Still setting up the new iPad with apps, logging into services etc but so far :-
- Thin
- This screen is exceptional. OLED blacks, no bloom (of course)
- Pencil haptics are lovely. The menu it brings ups is great as well.
- Denim colour on the Smart Folio reminds me of the bathtub inspired iPad 2 Folio
📦 nice delivery today 😎
As promised it was poutine day in the hospital canteen 🇨🇦 🍁 🫎 🥔
Ok look… on a hospital canteen budget, in a country where cheese curds aren’t really a thing (we couldn’t figure out what the cheese was. maybe halloumi?) and costing £3 it kinda hits the brief?
Not a pretty dish. But tasty.
🔗 VMWare Fusion Pro Free For Personal Use
Great news for the few months or a year until Broadcom utterly sinks this company.
Seeing as the Vision Pro essentially runs iPadOS with bells on if you’re not using it with a Mac as virtual display, it’s interesting to think about how Apple will tackle these same drawbacks and criticisms of that platform as it matures and the newness wears off.
New iPad day tomorrow. Starting reading the reviews and they are pretty much as expected. Beautiful hardware restricted by the software 🤷♂️
I agree with a good amount of the criticisms, but for my photo, blogging and life tasks I haven’t butted up against too many of them. I also think dual OS would be a terrible solution.
The hospital I work at is doing a “52 flavours” project in the canteen where they are going to make 52 dishes from countries and cultures staff submit. This is going to happen once a week until they’re all done.
Today is poutine 🇨🇦 which I’m very exited to try out! 🍟 🧀 😋

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.
