Weeknotes 43

I met a former colleague at a local pub and we sat out front to catch up. After taking my order, a member of staff asked to scan my wrist with an infrared thermometer. This was an entirely new experience and I was quite giddy at having my faculties critically assessed by a beige handheld device.

I finished my latest contract on Friday and, due to last week’s preparation, I write these notes on a freshly formatted laptop.

There’s something cathartic about starting afresh, clearing out my old 1Password vaults and asking whether each piece of software sparks joy or not.

I went down a bit of a rabbit-hole installing Backblaze via Homebrew.

Now that I’ll be helping out with childcare more, I inevitably found myself watching Peppa Pig this morning and was reminded of its damning satire of knowledge work at Daddy Pig’s office.

Once more, I’m not sure what’s next but I’m looking forward to a break and to celebrating C’s first birthday.
