Off to the golf range later today, I think it's a male bonding session?! I don't play golf, so currently reading about golf balls. Apparently, golf balls used to be a hand-sewn round leather pouch stuffed with chicken or goose feathers and coated with paint, usually white in colour. Anyhow, anyone got any tips?

Sometimes, when I lock and unlock my computer, only 2 of my 3 screens return/work. I have to repeat the procedure (lock and unlock) before all 3 return to a working state. Anyway, first day back at work after a long weekend. Sometimes it can take a while to get back into the swing of things, just like my monitors.

Working on a website that will be 20 years old next month. TBH, it looks 20 years old and so does the code. Maybe I'll convince the owner to update/rewrite it at some point. That said, it works just fine, so I wouldn't blame them if they kept it as is for another 20 years.

Doing some digital housework, backing up old git repositories, removing long dead sites/domains etc. It's a little sad to see old projects being archived, but I learned long ago about how ephemeral these things can be.

I can’t remember the last time I used a system with a spinning hard drive. I should really put a drill bit through these old drives. Job for the weekend I think.

A collection of old hard drives.

Searching old storage drives for some software that I think I wrote about 20 years ago. I'm sure the code is junk, but I'm interested to take a look at it as it might come in handy for a project I'm working on. Anyway, I really should organise my backups better.

That feeling when you've been concentrating intensely on solving a problem, you solve the problem and then look up from your monitors to wonder where you are even located in meatspace.
