Month: March 2022

Look, I know that Apple has had wonderous successes with hardware, but when it comes to software, I just wouldn’t piss on Monterey – like it’s seriously fucked up.

I will buy a MacBook Pro this year – I just have a few things about my house that need fixing first, but https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/17/macos-monterey-bricking-macs-logic-boards/ and https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/24/external-display-issues-reported-macos-12-3/ make me very very hesitant to do so.

So it’s 2 major issues, albeit, the first one deals with an existing Mac that has a borked logic board, but to not even boot into this new version of MacOS is just either lazy or down right shameless.

The second issue deals with the Mac not recognizing the external display – something that would really suck.

I’ve often commented about the attitude by marketing types who are obsessed with being first to market, but when you can’t even boot your whizz bang new OS, that’s just fucked plain and simple.

Well, I had a fantastic time at the SBS studios in Sydney on Friday 4th March!

The day was a bit of a blur, with me having to wake at 4:45am to shower, shave and travel to Melbourne airport to catch the 7:15am flight to Sydney.

Sydney was, well Sydney. Raining, hot as hell, and about 90% humidity – bleaugh.

The day was a bit of a blur, but like I said, I had a ball!

I flew back to Melbourne the same day, and at the end of it all, got home at about 10:30pm and went to bed at 11pm.

How did I go? Well, you’ll have to wait until my episode is broadcast (I think sometime in April).

Autographs are available on request!

Seriously though, I’m excited and nervous (nercited?) about this.

This Friday (March 4th) is the date that I’ll fly up to Sydney (eeeewwww) – I haven’t seen Sydney since just after my birthday in 2008 so yeah.

Anyhoo, I’ll get to the SBS studio on Friday for the recording of the quiz show and who knows, I might end up being Australia’s next smart arse, I mean Mastermind!
