Just had a ‘delivery’ from Evri. Saw the bloke approaching so I was waiting, 1m from the door. Heard the side gate being opened, so thought I’d better see what was going on… He’d dropped the 2 packages round the back of the house, and was a bit shocked to see me waiting on his […]
Was in for a repair filling today (LR8) and heard the dentist ask the assistant for the famous Fuji 9! Famous because of Bob Mortimer, of course. When I queried it with the dentist, it started a 10-minute conversation and demonstration during which he gave me a guided tour of all their Fuji 9 stuff.
Belatedly realised that I have free access to Proton Pass password manager, along with the ability to use a “fake” email address it offers when registering to a site (so as not to expose my real address).

Don’t really use a VPN very often, and PIA has been quite good enough. But it’ll soon be time to renew the PIA subscription after 3 years, so I had a random think. I’ve been more than happy with Proton Mail, and not had a single piece of spam in all the months I’ve been

Blimey – 100 interactions to a TwitterX post! 97 Likes and 3 Retweets. We live in exciting times. There were other titles I thought of doing, but maybe best not to push my luck… Perhaps the best of the rest was “In Search of Lost Time: Frenchman remembers things; in tediously long sentences.”
Much as I’ve enjoyed using Adobe Photoshop over these past 4 years, it’s now time to ditch it and return to Affinity. Adobe are becoming a pain in the arse with their policies, and do not inspire trust or belief at all now. Affinity have an offer of £59.99 for Photo + Designer + Publisher
