I renewed my Apple Developer membership after almost a year since it ran out, as I had an idea for an app my partner would make heavy use of, and wanted to set her up with a TestFlight build to try out. Over 24h later and App Store Connect still shows as expired š¤·š»āāļø
Notes
Spilling half a litre of fine green flock all over your office desk, keyboard, and work laptops: 0/10, very much do not recommend.
Having one of those evenings where I want to throw all technology in the bin. WiFi card on my desktop decided to stop showing up as a device, and all attempts to fix it have been a comedy of errors š I almost reached for the windows install usb. (Itās still not fixed)
Someone went to my partnerās office while knowingly sick, trying to play the martyr, (they have the facility to WFH) infected a third of the department, and long-story-short, now Iām sick too š¤
Just 9 more blu-rays to do, then Iāll have backed up the combined physical libraries of me and my partner to the media server. Almost 240 movies, and more than 1100 TV show episodes!
lol at Disney+ sending a āyour subscription is going up in priceā email and framing it as a good thing. Also lol at their system not realising Iād already cancelled, months ago. Pretty sure this increase means the cost has tripled in 5 years
Guys, I think thereās something wrong with the sky? Itās BLUE!

Spending 4+ hours on Sunday afternoon writing a blog post only about 3 people will read? Sure, why not? Itās the bloggerās dilemma
YouTube gave me a video of ā120 songs turning 30 in 2026ā, and yeah, 1996 was a banger year for music
How on earth is it STILL January?!? Iām struggling for motivation today, and kinda just want to sit and play Manor Lords instead of getting through the lengthy to-do list at work š«
My Apple Developer account didnāt renew at the start of Jan for some reason, and they didnāt notify me. I only discovered just now, when I went to use one of my personal apps and it was disabled. Good job I also built a web version š
For some reason, YouTube has been showing me StarCraft cinematics today, and itās made me all nostalgic. So I guess Iāll be reinstalling the entire series laterā¦
Quick thoughts on the new reveals from GW:
- Love the new Red Corsairs; I can see myself picking up a few.
- The new Custodes are incredible. I need to save for the boxset.
- The Lumineth hero, and updated Vyper were the best of the rest.
Clearly this PC rebuild has been cursed
Waiting for a parcel delivery thatās over an hour past its 2h delivery slot, after being delayed several days by the weather, and wondering when to give up and just go to bed
Looking at my work laptop and sighing; Iām not ready for this time off to be over.
Testing something, please ignore
I didnāt mean to spend the entire day playing Manor Lords, but here we areā¦
Itās taken me the length of The Two Towers and The Return of the King (Extended Editions, obvs) to build the Blood Angels Combat Patrol, which is slow for me. The 2 major time-sinks were awkward mould lines and those sodding jump packs on the Sanguinary Guard
Iām trying to plan ādownsizingā my main desktop, because itās unnecessarily huge. The new case will arrive mid-January, so plenty time to figure out parts. New motherboard, PSU, and cooler seems to be all I need
Cool. Cross-posting seems to have fixed itself.
Back on Arch (BTW) for my main desktop. Bazzite is cool and all, but it never felt ācomfyā as a multi-purpose OS. Whatever Arch glitch prevented me playing games a couple of months ago is fixed. The whole reinstall was pleasingly quick and painless.
Logged into Last.fm for the first time in over 13 years.
LOL. LMAO, even.
I just soloād a +26 Mythic in Legion Remix, which means Iām potentially only 2 dungeons away from the last achievement I need to do on my main. Next is a +29 Upper Karazhan; I hate Karazhan, and given how much slower stuff is dying at this level, itāll be tough
