I enjoyed Stranger Things 3 but the “let’s throw a bunch of 80’s movie tropes at the wall and see what sticks” aspect felt forced and uninspired this time.

Finished Reading: Men At Arms by Terry Pratchett ★★★★☆. I love the way he developed the Night Watch and its characters over the series. Especially Carrot. There just aren’t enough Carrots in this world.

Congratulations to Prog Magazine on their 100th issue. It’s not easy to sell a monthly, glossy, music magazine these days and especially so when it’s about a much put upon subject like progressive rock. There’s still plenty of life in the old dog yet.

Looks like I picked the right time to dump Cloudflare. I only used it for a few days but something about it didn’t sit right with me. I thought it was just a CDN to speed up web sites but it does a lot more things in the background, like tracking, which I don’t want to get involved with. If a problem can bring down every connected site then I’m happy to be out of that.

Whenever I drop something it doesn’t just land on the floor. It scurries away and goes under somewhere difficult to reach like the fridge. I think gravity hates me.

Both devices have been "updated" to the public beta of iOS 13. No bad side effects so far although that doesn’t mean future updates won’t completely screw things up. I think my free attitude to betas reflects the fact that I don’t rely on these devices for serious work. I’m prepared to put up with a little wonkiness while testing.
