I’m still looking for new clients (or FT/PT positions) following my two main ones ending projects at the end of the month.

If anyone needs any editing, proofreading, or writing work in the interim, please let me know. I also have experience in project management, marketing, and business development

I can work across most sectors but most recently fintech, entertainment, sports, and travel

I’m based in the EU (Germany), but can work remotely for global clients too

There is no Notepad++ for any Mac, but a vibe-coded port and its sloperator "author" want you to believe otherwise.

So, the good news from my pain appointment, two MRIs 8 years apart show there hasn't been any change.
The bad news is that spinal injection back in September didn't work, so the nerve pain is permanent as there's nothing else that can be done.

Folks, if you're going to have a third-party antivirus/security program on your PC, then please keep it up to date. If you decide to let the subscription lapse, then uninstall it.

With an expired subscription, security/antivirus programs are so much worse than useless. It refuses to work AND prevents the built-in Windows Defender from working.

This PSA is brought to you by a McAfee trial that expired 400 days ago.

regarding Lenovo UK service stealing my fucking RAM and forging the records: circumstances.run/@davidgerard

just got email from BMJ of the original purchase. 32GB, mate. not the 16GB it now has.

lenovo silently closed the previous ticket. i pinged them just now saying i had the docs. how do i get them to you?

i stated what i wanted: lenovo to make good and replace the missing RAM that disappeared in the process of service.

the guy on chat is powerless, but I asked him to escalate and get someone to actually *email* me in writing re: lenovo's next action in this case.

then the connection dropped (thinking face spinning around)

i have the material now to go loud, but let's see if they get back to me.

I used to be very enthusiastic about the Olympics. It was a spectacular show to see all these people compete. Some of my classmates went on to actually compete in the Olympics. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the games growing up and would've flown out of the country to see a match.

Now, idk man. The games are literally an hour drive from me now. Arguably the greatest sporting event on Earth just right here. I could buy a ticket right now if I wanted to.

But I just can't. My enthusiasm is waning.

It feels weird giving money to an organization that hates me.
