Upgrading a very large application from Java 8 to Java 21. Many things have changed. Many, many things. :-/

I don't usually recommend books before I've finished reading them, but I'm enjoying The Gone World so much I know it'll be a thumbs up at the end. Sci-fi detective stuff, with perhaps the most grim interpretation of time travel I've seen in a good while. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0751DS77B?ie=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.btIsFgyY-ow2C_Y61dUJ5wseff0B0GtKCubjgYV4i6iAzvoi70YBilPpa4yYRX5hfw-cbKqb1udO5GbMlQnzvXcb9CR-IoU_hq9gD4aA7RPzD-swnMS11rEv0a6ahO2UkMqMyW81s7v-0RHA3HzFv5MRGP_LQK8SC6Rsfmhu_O9YSnM99oYZ0Pe1QTilnvyBZkveMCb-kPz-G-eAURsxJg.ck-B4r4eBifnhdNWVF96LtqbdDI0oUuXWXs1sxbsxFc&qid=1737473334&sr=8-1

I've played nearly 60 hours of Dragon Age: Inquisition now, and I'm still really enjoying it. Really not sure why I didn't play it back when it was new out, I've had a PS4 copy since the year it launched. But here I am, ten years late, playing it on a handheld PC, of all things! :-D

My favourite from last year was "The Devil and the Dark Water", which grabbed me from start to end. And my least favourite was 'The Three-Body Problem" which I found unexpectedly tedious for such a high-rated novel.

It's been a good year for books for me, too. I'd fallen off of reading the last few years but made a conscious effort to make time this year, and I'm so glad I did.

Work issue resolved, as usual it was absolute incompetence rather than a genuine issue. Maybe I can actually start my holiday now? Please?

I had to go onto Twitter to check what was happening with my dodgy internet connection (turns out most companies still only do Twitter) and holy shitballs, it is a fucking train wreck over there now. Unusable.

The thing that confuses me most is that anyone thinks Funko is a brand worth protecting.

Interesting to see Sony apparently planning a handheld PlayStation again, but now I'm back on the PC train there's very little chance of either Sony or Microsoft winning me back into their ecosystems. I've never been less interested in big budget games, and everything indie comes out on the PC sooner and for less money. And I don't need PS5 power for that.

Took the laptop to the coffee shop. Cup of strong black, headphones playing Speccy tunes, shut off Teams - work instantly better.
