About

A blog by someone who’s been in IT long enough to remember when floppy disks actually flopped. I’ve worked across continents, battled mainframes and malware, and picked up more than a few travel stories along the way, some work-related, some just me trying to escape the madness.

Expect tales from the trenches of IT, scam-busting rants, digital privacy grumbles, and the occasional story from far-flung places I worked, wandered, or ran away to. One post might be about GenAI … the next, about how I once bribed a printer with whisky to finish a critical report.

Powered by sarcasm, black coffee, and a low tolerance for bullshit. Useful? Sometimes. Entertaining? Hopefully. Honest? Always.

  1. Hi there. I have been following you for years, with much interest. I love your travel diary, although I am severely disabled and virtually housebound it makes me want to go to all these wonderful places you have experienced and enjoyed. Reading about them is as good as it gets for me, and I make the most of it.
    I have just once criticism; what the hell have you done with the Lottery Results bit? My computer crashed recently and when I got it going again Mucky Paws no longer offered the Lotto facility.
    Keep travelling my friend, and I’ll keep following you from wet, cold, somewhat miserable Kent.
    Frank.

      • Hi Jason.

        I have your email and the software for the famous (yes, it is famous; I know three friends who use it) Lottery software.

        It’s nice to know that people like yourself still exist, men we can call upon for help and friendship. Well done mate, and thanks for being you.

        I shall now try to install the software and should I ever win one of the biggies there will be a case of wine on the way to you. If I ever ask you for your address you will know why.

        In the meantime, keep writing Jason. Your journal/s is/are very much appreciated by many.

        Thanks friend.

  2. Ola! Thanks to your most excellent guess for my “eyeball bender” at Toemail, I have now discovered — and am following — your very fine blog. I look forward for future readings and encounters.

    • ¡Hola!, Buenos Dias! Thank you for your kind words, I have a 10 year back catalogue of travels to catch up with, so hopefully there will be something of interest 🙂 I love your blog and that cover photo of the pyramids bring back many happy memories, but not so much the driving in Cairo they can keep that 🙂 , but a fantastic time going off the beaten track 🙂

      Kind Regards
      Jason 😀
