Husband, father, publisher, ex-journo, digital agency-type, sometimes cyclist… I love gadgets, bicycles, music and bacon... Liverpool FC makes me happy...

@theowinter For the record, my to day work machine is a MacBook Pro M2 Max.

Sadly, Mac is still not up to scratch when it comes to gaming.

Suddenly Windows 10 got unstable. So upgraded to Windows 11 last night. Four hours later (including a repair install after the actual installation because updates couldn’t run) and now my machine freezes up every 10 minutes. It’s never easy is it?

Tonight’s dinner table conversation…

‘Is rocking the Casbah a good thing or a bad thing?.’

Conclusion?

‘It depends entirely on whether you’re the Sharif or not…’

I’m just happy my kids are debating things that include The Clash’s lyrics.

@HellaTamaryn As a distillery of three gins and one vodka, I can honestly say that more people enjoy the gin than the vodka.

Also, when it’s made right, a gin is a thing of beauty. My opinion might be a little biased though.

Nice lead for any freelance graphic designers out there. Friend of mine has a small performance marketing agency, looking for assistance / build out available network of design resources.

@SimonDingle Be vigilant!

@andyhadfield I think the label needs some work though…

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

@andyhadfield @bronwynwilliams Right, no more free gin samples for you @andyhadfield

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

@davegreenway @TheGrahamZA Truth be told it might have been four times 😂😂😂.

@DupD and I laugh about it all the time…

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

@Wi3sa Maybe they could be staffed by all the staff from Charlotte Maxeke?

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

@andyhadfield @Wi3sa @Rubyletters @Konfytbekkie @greenlydia @rambowine Maybe we should knock together a Twitter tasting for old times sake?

I’m certain we could find a few estates that could be keen to participate?

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

Today I successfully made 92% alcohol by volume (for lack of a better description, Vodka) from scratch.

Later this week it will become Gin.

To say I’m loving this journey to becoming a craft distiller is in understatement.

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

Let’s be fair though. It was literally a *momentary* discussion 😉 @nafisa1 @kojobaffoe

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

It’s becoming so difficult to watch LFC’s sub-standard performance week in and week out.

Six home losses in a row hurts.

But you gotta watch through the rough patches to relish the purple patches. Right?

@Arfness @alanqcooper @Apple @MyiStoreSA @surface No other support under warranty.

A big part of what machine/ecosystem one chooses is about the support/break-fix when things go wrong. Wondering if it’s any better with Microsoft Hardware.

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

I ❤️ @Apple but am done with fokol support from @MyiStoreSA.

My new M1 Air has been in since 10 Feb awaiting spares. Today I’m told it’s another 5-7 working days, because they need to order spares (again).

Anyone switched from Mac to MS @surface recently? Your experiences pls.

[Brett Haggard @Brettski]

Nothing like a Pablo’s breakfast to wipe out the sins of the night before.

Red Shakshuka and Yemen flatbreads FTMFW...
