They say Pride comes before the fall. So after more weeks of hubris I’m glad to see the hashtag #notcominghome on Twitter.

A pathetic £500k fine for Facebook. Zucherberg will find this down the back of the sofa.

Glad to have drawn France in the company sweepstake.

My game of work-life Tetris continues. Omnifocus is actually my most frequently used “game” on any device I own.

The Black Isle Brewing Company, Long Time IPA… cold and refreshing

Note to Self: next BBQ/Grill eat some vegetables with the meat. Man cannot live (comfortably) on burgers and sausages alone. At least not this man.

Did England win the World Cup once, over half a century ago? They never mention it

Very Cold Water. Good to know in this heat.

Magnetic train tickets are the Devil’s Work. There’s no way they can ever survive being out in the wild with all the devices out in the world.

Minnie on the lounger in the shade. Wife in the sunshine. Pizza in the Pizza Oven. Brewdog going down nicely.

Another glorious morning. The weather this summer is incredible.

Does anyone have experience of changing DNS settings?

The general view is that:

These changes may take a while to implement.

How long is “a while”? An hour? 24hrs? 48hrs? A week?

In any type of fault finding it’s essential to be able to test changes against expectations, but if there’s a delay then it’s equally essential to understand when the changes are likely to have been implemented.

Watched this Ballerina Dad. So sweet.
