    I bought my first MacBook in '07, which came with Tiger installed. A couple of months later they released Leopard for £130, or free if you bought your Mac within the last month. So I contacted them and asked whether I’d had mine too long to get the free update. They said I had, but that they’d send me the disc for the cost of postage anyway.

    So I paid £5 for Leopard.











  • Americans and their attitude to their holiday allowance will never cease to amaze me.

    Literally the only consideration I need to make on behalf of my employer is whether my days off will leave less than 75% of my department out. And as that never happens then I never have to think about it.

    If you have holiday available to you, take it.





  • I turned 45 a couple of weeks ago. With a little bit of the birthday money I had, I treated myself to a small radio controlled car. I’m talking £8 from the supermarket (without batteries, so not that cheap).

    I can drive a full sized car, but who doesn’t love the fun of a little RC car?

    Also, I have rainbow laces in my work boots, and a rainbow lanyard for my office ID. Partly it’s in support of Pride, but also because bright colours are nice. But everyone at work thinks I’m gay (which I only partly am…).

    The older I get, the more I lean into just doing fun things, because yeah, the rest of life is a fucking grind right now.
