But I was alive when they invented squeezy bottles for ketchup. What followed was the dawn of the third age of mankind. We never looked back, it was a time of wonder and achievement, nothing could stop us.

Work this week has me repeatedly trying to estimate development work for a client that has no money to spend, and if we billed out my time repeatedly doing this that would probably cover the cost of the development in itself.

Microshit really are gutting everything aren't they? What an amazing business strategy, kill off every studio in a "what have you done for me lately?" move. But somehow still rely on Gamepass as a core value prop? £15 a month for solitaire is the future.

With uni stuff much less intense but still plodding towards the finish line over the next two weeks, its really hard to find my zen. 80% of me is chill but the remaining 20% keeps mentally scaring me with "its not over yet".

Significantly de-googled this year to the point that as the renewal date arrives for my Google One I am taking no small delight in the slightly panic'd "You are going to lose access to your benefits" emails being sent at regular intervals.
Its an automated 5-stages of grief but it will do.

I am a seasoned speaker and have no qualms about presenting to audiences big and small.
But the definition of madness is practicing to an empty room. Its creepy and makes my skin crawl just speaking an audience of myself... So this lil guy is going to have to be my audience.
