100daystooffload A Flurry of Orders I had to place a few orders today for parts for the bike. The postman is probably going to hate me but hopefully all the parts will arrive before next week when I have some time off. Some jobs to do are replacing the
100daystooffload Updates & Organisation in Ghost This blog has been up and running a while now and keeping it up-to-date has been truly effortless. It's simply a case of typing "ghost update". While I could automate this with cron, I much prefer keeping an eye on it. Maybe in the
100daystooffload Friday, Payday, Yay Day! It's Friday, it's payday and as some others in the team like to call it, Yay day! What a long old week it has been. I won't go in to detail as I've moaned enough in my previous few posts. I'm actually going to
100daystooffload A Bit of a Rush Post Today has been an action packed fuckaroo (Dreamcatcher reference - Read it!). Not only was it my circle jerk Thursday, but we had settings deployed en-mass to every single user due to a script fuck up (not mine, thankfully). Add in the usual day
100daystooffload Too Busy to Talk The return to work after a long weekend has been an utter disaster. Users were clicking on phishing emails left, right, up, down and all around willy-nilly with no regard for the consequences. Sometimes I really want to bring random users in for a
100daystooffload The Final Few Posts - #100DaysToOffload Today marks post number 94 of #100DaysToOffload and boy oh boy has it been a journey. I'll save the summary type spiel for post 100 but wow, I never thought
100daystooffload There's an App for that - Unfortunately I was browsing Reddit earlier today and came across a story posted to r/privacy - "Headphones are collecting too much personal data".

100daystooffload Day Off - Avoiding Computers & Phones Today was the start of a long weekend. As much as I wanted to play games and blow shit up, I made an effort to stay away from my computer and phone screens. We all spend far too much time attached to our technology.
100daystooffload A Long Weekend Today is a cause for celebration. Not only do I have tomorrow off, but also Monday which makes this a full long weekend. This is probably a good thing as I have no idea how I was going to get through another day of
100daystooffload A Static U-Turn Yesterday I posted about considering a move from Ghost over to a static site in an effort to save the $5/month I currently pay for hosting this particular blog.
100daystooffload Thoughts on Static I've been thinking for a while that Ghost may be complete overkill for what I need, especially when #100DaysToOffload comes to an end as I'll be posting a lot less. Do I really need a full Linode running NGINX & Ghost when all I'll
100daystooffload A Roller-coaster of Emotions There has been one thing that has got me through the fact that Monday means back to work after what feels like weekends that last about 5 minutes. That thing has been a new episode of Snowpiercer on Netflix. Just as I sat down
100daystooffload A Faulty Firefox I began today with such good intentions, but that wasn't to be. I got a few things done but the research I planned on doing I can no longer be bothered to do after resolving an unexpected issue. After an update and a restart,
100daystooffload GitBook Emails I recently posted about my not so positive first impression over GitBook. It's not that the service was bad by any stretch. More that I felt some fundamentals were needlessly locked behind a "Team" plan who's cost was excessive for an individual who wanted
100daystooffload Diving in to The Matrix As a bit of a follow-up to my previous post on taking a look at Matrix services I decided to venture down this rabbit hole a little further. I have been using an account on Mozilla's servers for a couple of months but still
100daystooffload Where OS's Shouldn't Tread I was wracking my brains for a few hours about what to write about today and couldn't really come up with anything until I started listening to the latest episode of The New Show podcast during my workout. The first question that was asked
100daystooffload GitBook & Magnet Today was the day where the MacBook almost got launched out of my office window in to the rain. Something that has always bugged me was it being completely incapable of remembering where your windows were supposed to be or how they were sized.
100daystooffload Day 80 - #100DaysToOffload Day 80. Who would have thought it. With only 20 days to go I'm starting to look back through some of the content and trying to piece it together and see what I've accomplished. All I need to do now is keep filling up
100daystooffload Day 79 - #100DaysToOffload It has been another truly long day at work with almost every minute filled with meetings and very little time to get anything done. The brain is fully cabbaged. However, with it being Monday, I am excited as there should be another episode of

100daystooffload Day 78 - #100DaysToOffload Completely stuck for something to write today but I'm refusing to break the chain when I'm so close to finishing. So here's to another pointless page of text filling up my disk space. If you've got a couple of hours to kill, go watch
100daystooffload Day 77 - #100DaysToOffload With very few news stories in the RSS feeds I'm bereft of inspiration for today's post. After a brief opening of presents this morning for my partners birthday, I popped out for my weekly long run. Back by lunch and then an afternoon of
