First time actually trying to use Copilot because who can actually be arsed to create a bloody Christmas Quiz, but it's an absolute abomination 😅

I've been tuning my "asks" and each time it disappoints. I have a 20-odd slide Powerpoint with no questions but lots of irrelevant summary slides.

Always good to find a proper news story among all the guff about politics, war and other such minor issues.

Stupid "hobby".

Bought some HIFIMAN HE1000 Stealth for the upstairs headphone setup, so the FiiO FT7 can be part of the "full" system downstairs 🙄

My youngest daughter (12) is learning to play bass guitar and has therefore comfortably surpassed my personal lifetime peak cool benchmark already.

Proud of her and mildly accepting of my low target contribution to this development. Buying her Christmas presents has been a blast 😎

Well I made the grave error of buying a video game called Satisfactory and it has consumed 24% of my living hours since last Sunday.

This little stack of electromagical stuff is proving to be a heck of an investment for the old home office. Proper music.

I feel like at the age of 47 I shouldn't buy and immediately eat an entire net of Mini Babybel cheese, but it is what it is.

The latest additions to the nerd castle are in place and work like charms.

I knew I wanted the snazz factor and usability of the WiiM Ultra as a streaming transport but that it lacked a bit of clout with headphones, so a FiiO K13 R2R DAC / amp takes on that task.

The relentless Hi-Fi hobby has now necessitated a tidy-up of my WFH office (including redoing all the sodding cable management 😡).

A couple of parcels inbound to elevate the upstairs listening arrangement 😎🎧

Sexy new headphones, baptised in unicorn juice and rainbow aura have arrived.

The cable is from the distant future and thankfully they sound excellent.

Latest Hi-Fi hardware splurge is en route and should be with me by late afternoon 😎🎧

I hate Power BI with a passion.

Everything about it absolutely sucks.

I've reinstalled a bunch of games in advance of sneering at @xbox.com 's wildly misjudged Game Pass price increases by cancelling my subscription when it expires in 3 weeks.

Rimworld, Balatro, Wingspan, Dune: Imperium, Pirates Outlaws, Cult Of The Lamb, Nobody Saves The World. Solid options.

I'm not sure if this is the new ICE uniform or an American golf fan?

This is somehow the album I've owned by The Rolling Stones, and it looks set to be swiftly followed by three more that everyone can instantly guess.

I think my tight-fisted approach to buying shoes at a deep discount if they're in weird colours could really kick me in the face this time 😬

TIDAL recommended this guy to me and if you like some acoustic guitar flex, he's totally worth a listen.

Incredibly clean sounding album.

I'm only fifteen years late in finding Jimmy Wahlsteen 😂

It's taking a while to get through my record backlog. Onto LP 2 of 3 from B.B. King's "Nothin' but...bad luck".

'Mean Ole Frisco' is superb on this one.

Then some Rolling Stones, Wes Montgomery and finally Pink Floyd.

Then maybe I can go shopping again...

Three B.B.King records? Yes please!

It's a compilation of material from his first decade or so and has a whole bunch of alternate recordings to versions of songs I've heard. Bargain at £15 and all on funky blue vinyl 😎

A mid-nineties classic here. The Bluetones are still touring and are still excellent. Terrific debut album.

A fortuitous similarity to lead singer Mark Morriss made me a bit popular back in my college days.....
