It's strange how some numbers become linked in your head with specific things. The first one for me was three, the magic number.

I found a solution to yesterday's problem. With the help of Firefox and the Print Edit WE extension, I created a PDF for each page of the Microsoft module. So for some courses this is 7 PDFs. I then used the free (but you have to register as a user) Adobe website to merge them into a single document.

I have a problem. All the work I've done for Microsoft isn't attributed. I have the source Markdown in my forks of the Learn repo (which I'll lose access to when I leave my current job).

I'm trying something different today. Writing into the iOS LanguageTool app. It doesn't officially support Markdown — but that's the great thing about Markdown. It's just plain text, so it is supported.

What a great movie. Although I guess some people won't watch it now, as the bad guy really is a bad guy.

Gratitude.

Today was always going to be my hardest blog post.

Watching Snooker with my Mum made me think about culture and other things. The competition is called the World Snooker Championship. There are people from all over the world who compete — but most are from the UK. There’s a certain American sport labelled as World too — but only American teams really play in it.

I’m away from my computer at the moment. Travelled to see my Mum for her birthday. It’s now going to be bitter-sweet every year for her and us. Because last year my Dad died on the same day.

… is the magic number.

Today I'd like to reflect on something I was playing with all day yesterday. I'm on a M1 Mac and looking to get a job at Canonical. So… I should install Ubuntu right. Use LibreOffice to write my CV and other correspondence, you know, to show I'm keen.
