Washed my clubs, and put them away. Very happy with my nice par on the longest par 4. Trying not to think about all the sixes. The eleven definitely didn't happen.
Acquired a cheap zigabee scene switch to experiment with. Seem to have broken it already.
Had another tattoo session yesterday, this time filled in the inside of my bicep. I have been tattooed quite a number of times in my life and this was by far the most painful session I've ever had. I was genuinely traumatized last night, my body was in shock from the amount of pain I went through.
Had an eye test. Performed by a football friend. He will be genuinely traumatised by the amount of pain he went through.
The artist that did mine did warn that “as this gets closer to the armpit, it’s gonna get spicy.” But the pain at the time was nothing compared to the healing.
Still not a patch on the sternum though. I genuinely dissociated during that otherwise I think I wouldn’t have made it.Off to work on the bar for a Judge Jules night. This would've been a big night out 25 years ago. Tonight in a quiet country house party venue in mid-Wales.
That sounds fucking mint.
Bad leftist, I presume, but it's mildly annoying that I want to follow the scores for the Champs League and Championship, but the Beeb has decided to put the women's internationals between them on the ticker, so it's easier to have 2 tabs.
Tried new outlook. Didn't like it. Gone back to old Outlook. I imagine at some point soon this option will no longer be available.
New Outlook, you can't save emails as .eml files.
Hopeless.
Changed job recently, using MS Outlook for the first time in many years, its so horrible and clunky. Not to mention Teams which is horrendous.
About 40 years on, I thought I'd look up the population of the Big Town of much of my youth.
15K people lived in Huntingdon.
Village life gives weird perspectives.
We're a corporate Google shop and it's great for collab tools. Still use Office for Excel (because it's better than Sheets) and Word (because I do a lot of contract work and Legal uses Word for redlining), but other than that GSuite is really good, and the fact that I can plug in a bunch of 3rd party tools for stuff like network diagrams is a big enhancement over MSFT.
I am an Excel pro so probably ignorant of how shit it is. The rest of the office suite is a complete shitshow and every time they change it they make it worse. It’s almost as if they are able to do whatever the fuck they want because they are a monopolist and the vast majority of their users have no choice.
An angry podcaster I follow talks regularly about how tech giants are consistently making the products that billions of people use daily increasingly worse… but nobody with any power or influence is really talking about it. The media will hype the latest AI vapourware and assorted lies… even though it’s largely irrelevant to most people (because the only genuinely common use case for chat GPT seems to be rewriting emails.. so, basically, next-gen grammar check) but they don’t seem to want to take about how mainstream tech products… from Facebook to Outlook… are shit, and everyone hates them.
There's a long standing word for it that the software industry has used: enshitification.
