I know the standard form is, you look at old code and wince, and say "what was I thinking..." but I've been looking at some Okta Workflows (a low code framework) I wrote/built/assembled a while ago... and all I'm thinking is... "this is really smart, did I _actually_ make this?"

I'm not angry, just disappointed that #amazon are making my trusty #kindle paperwhite (1st Gen) obsolete. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98k91yy4z4o

I still think of it as a "modern" device - especially compared to my kindle keyboard... and don't feel a desperate need to upgrade. I mean, perhaps that's the point...

So. I'm sitting in the Cart and Horses pub - "birthplace of Iron Maiden" and, helpfully my local. And "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" is on the jukebox. And I feel like I'd forgotten how comforting early Iron Maiden is. At least, it is if you're me.

Finally got part one (and actually part two) of my #MunkiLab series of blog posts published... https://blog.quirke.org/munki/macos/2026/03/06/post.html

I've been dragging my heels, as I don't trust me to actually get the other parts finished and published in any sensible timeframe.

Go on future me, prove me wrong!

You're doubting my humanity, but you're missing some key points. Here are some of the things I've seen:

  • Attack ships firing off the shoulder of Orion. These aren't just battleships — they're spacecraft designed for warfare.
  • C-beams glittering in the dark. Their location? Near the Tannhäuser Gate.
  • Things you wouldn't believe. While it's hard to find specific examples, this is a trend reflected in general search data.

The bottom line: All those moments will be lost — like tears in rain.
