Weeknote, Sunday 22nd March
What a shit week. However we got some lovely spring weather and the Glasgow Botanics looked smashing on a quiet morning walk. Even saw a bunny. 🔗 Links The 49MB Web Page - Thanks to ubiquitous fast internet you don't think too much about the size of web pages now...but this is horrendous. Not just the size but how unusable many sites now are thanks to adverts, auto playing pop up videos, adverts that are 80% of the screen.
9 Favourite Racing Games
So a recent post on BlueSky got me thinking - what are my 9 favourite racing games? Not easy and favourite does not equal best. After a bit of thinking and jogging of memories, here's my list in no particular order. Or is it. Sega Rally Championship - Saturn Sega Rally Championship came to the Sega Saturn in 1995. At the time the graphics were state of the art but what shone was the gameplay especially two player split screen.

The Union Street fire, started in an unregulated vape shop, devastated a much loved Glasgow victorian building, thankfully didn't damage Central Station long term and turned every Glaswegian into a building expert. Got to love social media. I took a walk into town yesterday and the burning smell was still noticeable. Demolition is underway and when you see the damage its understandable as the front of the building looks like it could be…

Quick week, lots done and todo. Despite reservations and looking elsewhere I'm still using Todoist to keep me on track and I'm also still wedded to having only one action list for both work and personal todo's. Next few weeks is a focus on roadmaps, investments and whats next. Lots to unpack. Sport in the last few days has been tremendous.

And just like that....the little runt of a month that is February is gone for another year. A busy week punctuated by a day trip to London on Thursday. The travel was pretty flawless apart from a slightly longer than expected train journey from Heathrow to Farringdon but there are worse ways to see London than via a crawling train. Walking around areas of London that I don't know is always interesting.

Gradually the days are getting lighter and longer. The difference starting and leaving work in the light, even if its just the sun setting, is massive. I blame the office I’m in which is windowless although very very bright. Something I need to take care off. I’ve loved the Winter Olympics from Italy over the last two weeks. So many great performances, so much drama and it always feels a little bit cooler than the summer Olympics.

The last two weeks have been manic, perfectly summed up by this. Work has been full on and despite my head saying keep posting weekly, the heart wasn't in it last weekend. I have kept the walking up thought - January saw the biggest month yet with over 310km banked. Great way to catch up on podcasts and actually think rather than veg out in front of a screen.
How to Remove AI Tools and Content Hub from Apple Keynote, Numbers, and Pages
These apps have been free for a long time, but Apple's new upsell strategy is annoying. Here's how to remove the buttons that you don't need from the apps toolbars.

Fortnightnote, Sunday 25th October
It's getting to that time of year already when there's a hint of light in the sky when leaving work, still a while to go yet before I see anything light in the mornings. It makes the walking at the weekends all the more precious although the weather being cold, damp and breezy hasn't helped over the last few days. …

Into the new year with a bang - full work week and it was packed. Good to catch up with the team and colleagues alongside looking back at 2025 and what we delivered while looking to this year and where we can improve. Lots to do. As tradition there’s no resolutions as they’d be broken within a couple of weeks but there is a theme and a few areas to focus on.
