Hard Drive Disposal
What's the best/safest way to get rid of old Hard Drives?
I've been activated
So there was a knock on the door the other day and a man posing as a post man handed me a battered amazon box that looked like it had been kicked down a flight of stairs and then run over.
Inside was this message addresses obscured for operational security reasons Code Milk Tray protocol
Well that fucking sucks
We got called into an unexpected all hands meeting this morning. Any time one of those appears with no warning is bad news and indeed that was the case.
Destiny 2 Witch Queen Expansion Free this weekend
In the run up to the release of the new expansion Lightfall on the 28th Bungie are making the witchqueen expansion free to everyone for the next week (23rd to 27th) that includes the campaign which if you complete you can get the weapon pattern for the Ostio Striga exotic SMG a very unique weapon that spreads poison.
The campaign is fairly easy to play through some 8 or so missions so if you have the time to go through it and get the weapon it's a good tool to have in your arsenal.
Destination Harrogate
Today we put our house on the market, and we're planning to move upto Yorkshire later this year, pending a number of things happening in the correct order.
GTA 5 now potentially dangerously insecure maybe even to the extent of remote code execution exploits in the wild
I don't know how true this is but given the history of hackers and lack of response by rockstar plus the extent from personal experience that hackers can influence the game it wouldn't surprise me. Plus Rockstar never care about things unless it causes a dip in shark cards sales.
Signs you're getting old
I've been spending a bit of time updating my media collection recently, and getting it all organised.
I'm sort of coming to the horrible conclusion that films are just sort of...getting worse? When I sort the collection I have by year I have an unbroken list from 1977 through to 2022. The first couple of years are sparse, but from 1984 onwards its incredibly hard to pick a "Movie of the Year"...and about 2010 the list gets sparse again. Is it complete coincidence that this is when the Marvel stuff was really kicking off?
PS5 case modded into a Dwarven Kingdon
Nerdforged is a wonderful crafting channel they've done some really impressive projects in the past several modded pc cases including one with Linus Tech Tips that was a cyberpunk neon street scene another that was a big fantasy castle as well as costumes paintings and other things and it's always with a great deal of skill and enthusiasm.
2023 Manifesto
As I said, these will need to be a little fluid, as I'm not quite out of the woods yet physically.
Recover Well
I strongly recommend you never break your shoulder. Prevention is better than cure, and all that.
2023 Hopes!
So much of my life is outside of my control. Naturally family comes first and they need me to drop everything on a regular basis. So I got a bunch of stuff that I hope to do. I wouldn't go as far as saying goals. They're listed in order of importance. Stuff near the top more likely than stuff at the bottom.
74kg
I'm over 80 now and I want to loose a bit to get into a more healthy weight. I can be disciplined about what I eat, so with the one below, this should be ok.
