One of the jobs to be done during my time off was to get Windows 11 off the laptop, and install Bazzite. Well, I decided today was going to be that day. After a long run that started late (because I didn't have an alarm on), and some
I caved and purchased an MD Notebook Journal Codex 1 Day 1 Page for using during 2026 as my journal refill of choice. It is a beautiful notebook. And I'm really looking forward to getting started with it from the 1st January. It doesn't quite fit
I have just spent the majority of my afternoon putting in Rails DCC Decoder chips, and attempting to program them. How can something be so simple, and so complex, all at the same time? Anyway, managed to get 4 of the 6 locomotives to actually run. 2 of them just
That's it. Barring any serious emergencies or disasters, my 2025 is done when it comes to work. I'm a free man until Monday, 5th January 2026. It feels good. If you'd have told me in January of this year what would be coming, and

I was not expecting to see this in my feeds, and it was a very welcome surprise. This man always manages to bring a smile to my face. I was intrigued by this bit of news, where Schleswig-Holstein's LibreOffice migration is going well. Hurray! This German State Decides
The journal refills I've been using for the last year no longer seem to be available. I think I've just spent over an hour trying to find something suitable to replace them. Unfortunately, I think it may have worked out cheaper to buy multiple notebooks rather
After handwriting a journal now for more than 700 consecutive days, I've really come to appreciate how spending that time slowing down has helped me. And I've been trying to make more notes in notebooks, rather than using my phone. Today, rather than writing the shopping
Today I received a reminder that Ulysses was going to renew in January. I believe that's another £39 a year I can save. First question, then, how can I achieve a preview in Kate for Markdown documents? Well, it turns out, easily, using the Document Preview plugin. Granted,
I've been toying with the idea of having a photo of something each day in my handwritten journal. And I wasn't really sure how best to do it. And then, the other day, the Kodak P300R appeared. KODAK Mini 3 Retro P300RPrint high-quality photos, straight from
