There’s so much to do… and not enough time to do it
There is no possible way I could say I’m in a creative funk at the moment. No, I suffer from the opposite in that I’ve got so many ideas, so many things on the go, and so little time to […]
Ubuntu on Lenovo X250
I bought a Lenovo X250 laptop, refurbished with Windows 11 off eBay last year. It all seemed fine. I added an internal battery, and a high capacity removable battery to give it as much life as possible from a single […]
Sunset on Brecon Road, Ystradgynlais

Tail end of February. Noticeably longer days. Not quite so good for catching sunsets on the way home from work, but skies still impressive.
Extracted by – R R Haywood
