I almost got sucked into buying this smart watch. It gets good reviews even though it’s cheap, but then I stopped and thought “why?”.

Woke up with a horrible headache, which was strange. Took some paracetamol but it’s still not really gone away.

Saw a great flock of Golden Orioles this morning. The advantage of buying things from Aliexpress whilst you’re on holiday is that you don’t have to worry about delivery whilst you’re away. Then in 3-4 weeks miscellaneous packages arrive and you have no idea what they are. Usually accompanied by “what have you ordered now?” “Nothing” I answer with an honest belief, because I have ordered nothing this week. I then open it and remember that evening watching YouTube videos or page 12 of some forum thread and then ordering said part(s).

I’ve noticed some eBay sellers say “ships from U.K.” usually for random electronics you might get from China. I suppose people want it sooner so pay more. Except you have to look carefully as unless it says it’ll be delivered in 2-3 days, it still doesn’t come from the U.K.

Finished my book. Was good. (I’m not a good reviewer). I’d recommend, although start with the first one. I think sci-fi is good when believable. Although not sure I’ve read any sci-fi that I didn’t think was believable. Often it’ll be some alien from far away whose technology is far beyond ours, or the same but they all died millennia ago. Or it’s a few thousand years time and humans can navigate the stars, either in a great way or because the Earth is dead. To me, all those scenarios seem possible. But with a universe as big as the universe that I can’t even fathom, I just have to accept anything is or will be possible.

However, the one thing that doesn’t seem possible is me deciding on my websites.

I want to go to EuroBSDCon.
