I have a lot of tech. Probably more than most but given my previous career I guess that's not surprising. I had to test code on multiple devices - OK I could have used emulators but hey, I just wanted the flashy hardware. November 2024 saw Apple release the new Mac Mini and I am a complete Apple geek. The new Mac Mini probably has the best spec of any current Apple computers (at time of writing) and is REALLY cheap (for power versus buck). My mouth was watering I had to get one.

I used to take a Dictaphone in to the bathroom when having a bath. I came up with some of my best solutions to things when in the bath, as paper gets soggy, recording the thoughts was the best option. There is nothing like relaxing in a bath staring at the ceiling and letting your mind go to wherever. Likewise, sitting free of work for 6 weeks watching the world go by after my surgery was like having a very long bath and allowed me to think on things.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Lao Tzu. In the case of a Blog it begins with the first post; this then is that first single step. Hopefully there will be a few more steps to come! I am sure that there are a lot of Blogs with just a first step and I aim that this one will prove an exception, only time will tell.
