Ageing Scotsman. Somewhat obsessed cyclist, music snob, watching himself gently dilapidate while denying reality. Gainfully employed in cybersecurity, old enough to have been doing that since before it was all glam.

Geopolitics is a turbulent mess, so here's a picture of a cute pup (mine) so maybe cheer you a little. She's as good a pup as they come, and her nature is as lovely as her face.

Interesting wee gravel foray today; as usual, out through a wind farm & slower than road but far more interesting. My mnemonic for remembering the route is built on the turbine numbers; eg, 127 is an old Fiat car. (It works for me)

Apple’s Advanced Data Protection: what’s going on in the UK?

Many people in the UK cannot get GP appointments and this is increasing pressure on A&E
However many Doctors cannot get work in GP surgeries due to current funding restrictions

A reminder that Trump was excited by the Panama Canal in 2017 also, and at the time, was debunked about it costing the lives of 35k American workers. Turned out most were very low-paid Jamaicans/Central Americans.

A reminder to anyone trapped in an airport due to weather conditions right now:
You have a right to stay in a nearby picturesque village while the airline sorts out a rebooked flight for the 27th. They also have to provide a widowed lumberjack for you to fall in love with.
Know your rights.

My youngerbro has given me the cMP 3,1 I gave him 3/4 years back, ostensibly for some light video editing.
Can't even remember the spec- maybe it had the original GT120, maybe 16Gb RAM, and a 240Gb SSD I installed (I think?) Catalina on.
Hmm. Its almost, but not entirely, useless to me now
