I missed my first day in #WeblogPoMo2024 yesterday. It was a Saturday, so I can't blame a busy workday. I obviously have a reason. But I want to sit with the feeling of failure.

This is the latest in the day that I've posted for #WeblogPoMo2024. I've fallen off the dog walking with bare ears for the last two days. Connected yesterday and ATP today. I really wanted to hear what the boys had to say about Copilot+PCs.

Procrastination. I make fun of my Wife and Daughter when they procrastinate on doing something. I call them the ‘pro-cras-ti-nator’ and do a little robot dance. 

We've been having some unseasonal sunshine here in the UK. Today we got back to more of what I'm used to. Nice warm consistent drizzle. 

I've just finished Fallout. Not the game, the TV series. In fact, being on a Mac and not having a PlayStation or Xbox means I can't have played the game. If they released a Switch version, maybe.

Employee surveys. Large companies think that, "Listening to their employees", is important. The problem is that sometimes what an employee's saying isn't something they want to hear — or really address.

Hamilton Live. I'm lucky enough to live near Bristol and could afford to get tickets to see Hamilton at the Hippodrome. I'd heard lots about it on my podcasts. Then watched it as soon as it was available on Disney+. Not only that, I also devoured the official cast recording.

It's my weekend, and I've fallen off the wagon. I walked the dogs to Lovett or Leave It and the Flop House. It showed me just how much less attention I have when I'm plugged in. I keep on walking past the dogs, whereas when my ears are enjoying nothingness, I follow the dogs.

I'm past half way. I need to thank Annie for coming up with the idea. It could be because I'm competitive, but I'm enjoying the nudge to write every day.

Tech support time. If you've read my introduction post, you'll have seen I love all things Apple. In the past I've needed a Thunderbolt dock and according to Casey Liss the CalDigit TS3 Plus was the best in class. I think I bought this when I had an Intel MacBook Pro. The dock charged and drove my 4K monitor perfectly. However, there was a weird mouse and keyboard issue. The mouse stuttered. Letters kept being dropped. I never fixed it. The dock went into storage (the top draw of the desk cabinet).
