Mel bought these as a random purchase earlier this week. Just had a nibble. First impression was “yeah, it’s OK”. But then the full taste hit – and it was absolutely delicious. Never had a Madeleine before AFAIA, so not a truly Proustian moment – but certainly an unforgettable experience!
Came across a glowing review of the Thorium browser yesterday, and decided to give it a go. No installation process as such – just unzip to wherever you want and then run it. Not perfect, but certainly seems faster than my other browsers. Niggles are: But nothing too serious, really. And Youtube works OK with
This week Youtube has started complaining about watching videos with an Adblocker enabled, and threatening a ban. So, today, I finally got blocked!

Asked ChatGPT to “write the first two paragraphs of “The Colour Of Magic” in the style of Franz Kafka”. And this is what it came up with: As I awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, I found myself transformed into a tourist on the strange and fantastical world of Discworld. This world was a flat
