Just pulled the pin and subscribed to Adobe Lightroom. No excuse not to start using the DSLR again now. Gotta get my money’s worth!
Glandular fever has really knocked me around today. The brain and body have out been really lethargic. Can’t wait to see the back of this lingering virus.
I’m trying the new version of Firefox. I haven’t used Firefox in years. It seems pretty good and perhaps might surpass Chrome as my secondary browser. It is still nowhere near as fast as Safari, though.
Busy updating my website because what else am I meant to do on a Sunday night?

I’ve just set up my own ‘/now’ page.
Home Network Architecture
Tonight I’ve sketched out my basic IT storage system and the cloud services I use on a regular basis. Ensuring that my storage network all hangs together with everything accessible from multiple devices and platforms while also maintaining redundancy through an appropriate backup strategy is not easy. I think I have my bases covered but it’s not particularly simple. Despite the complexity it remains a problem worth worrying about. I don’t ever want to stress about losing data.
Nothing beats an afternoon snooze. 💤
I cannot get Mac OS 10.13.1 to successfully install. I’ve tried the direct download, I’ve cleared out failed/empty APFS snapshots, and no matter what I do, the install fails to take. I get left at a black screen and the machine just hangs. I wish I’d never updated to High Sierra.

A Place for Everything
Over the past five years I’ve spent a lot of time learning the fundamental philosophies of a production system known as lean. I’ve read books and articles, I’ve taken a study tour to see lean in action in Japan. I’ve developed lean guides for business, and coached companies in the theory and implementation. Yet despite all of this, I still consider myself a beginner1. Most of my lean work has been in relation to the manufacturing sector but the principles can also be applied to healthcare, food preparation, administration, and software development, to name a few.
According to my 6 year old son, the angels ‘respawned’ Jesus after he died on the cross. Too much Minecraft?
Little photographer.
Seriously contemplating buying a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud for Photographers. New products may have put most people off but it built interest for me. It would also provide an impetus for me to get back into ‘proper’ photography.
Micro Blogging
Twitter continues to descend into a morass of bad behaviour while simultaneously floundering in search of a viable business model that might deliver a return for the billions in capital it has consumed1. The future of Twitter does not look bright, either socially or financially. As a result, I am experimenting with other platforms for expressing my random and (inconsequential?) thoughts. Facebook, while having a more profitable and successful business model, is still yucky for a bunch of other reasons.
Just hanging out.
I just had to visit the Coca Cola Australia website to understand all the variants of Coke. Surely if that’s necessary, your product marketing is a fail? Their new livery is terrible too.
