Why Is Everything Proprietary These Days?
Why is everything proprietary these days? Let me tell you a little story...
Every time i walk up the stairs I see my poor little #Framework, sat there in pieces waiting for its new board. 😟
ThinkPad T480 Initial Thoughts
I've had the T480 for a couple of days now, so wanted to jot down a few initial thoughts.

Update on My Coffee Ridden Framework 13
Here's an update on how things have gone with my Framework 13.
Ah gutted. I bought a #Framework Ryzen 7 AI 350 series a few days ago for £699, only for them to now be discounted to £599. Great timing, Kev! 🤦🏼♂️️
Hello from my new #Thinkpad T480! migrating (shrinking) my drive from the 2TB in my #Framework to this 1TB was painful, but I now have my full #Ubuntu system back and no bloody MacOS to battle with. 🎉
My Best Sub £100 Purchase
Here's the best sub £100 purchase I ever made. What's yours?
Wife is out with friends, kids are playing in the park over the road, so I'm just sitting here, loving life and enjoying the sun with my furry friends.

We recently had full fibre installed in our village. just placed an order to upgrade from ~70Mbps down and ~20 up to 900 down and 500 up. Very excited! 🤓
I May Have Killed My Framework 13
I managed to spill a hole cup of coffee on my Framework 13 today. Let's hope I can fix it!
Urgh. Since dropping coffee all over my #Framework laptop, I'm back to using my M1 Mac. Jesus Christ MacOS is annoying, and Tahoe is fugly.
I take back pretty much everything I said in this post. I've bought a #SnowskyEcho just to see, loaded my old music on it, and it's pure joy! Discovering so much music that I haven't played for years.
