Local charity shop occasionally asks me to take a look at laptops that have been donated to make sure they work and if they're actually of a spec that's halfway useful

Got one today that not only has some french dude's personal data all over the drive including work documents and photos but it also tries to autoconnect to his fucking dropbox account the moment it boots into windows

The UTC hand on my watch is now marginally useful! Yay!

(damn DST)

ATTENTION:

The United Kingdom is now on UTC+1 as the clocks have just gone forward an hour

Please adjust anything that needs adjusting accordingly

My cat, Fizziwig, had to have a few stitches on a wound today so he's got to wear one of those collars so he won't do any damage cleaning himself

He's really not happy about it the poor sod

It is hella cool
