Quick note from my inpatient room at the Arthur Child comprehensive cancer centre in Calgary. I
needed some acute care for effects of oedema. Hopefully they will have me more stabilized by the end of the week when I can go home. This happened during, the other was over the December holidays. This is going to be the pattern for me. I go along seemingly ok, and then something kicks me in the ass, or more accurately grows in my head. The focus is on quality of life now.

Finally started Season 3 of #Shrinking. Reliably gives me belly laughs. “More like a dark alley“. #ApleTVPlus

Health pending, I am going to make every effort to be there in person. Most certainly the last Mac in admin conference I’ll ever attend if I make it

Personal Updates being posted to my blog felt like a good idea at the time, but I am struggling with the time and energy to do it. So DM me here or on the Mac admins slack. To get a personalized update., as I am very happy for the social interaction and there is no longer a flood to manage of incoming messages.

After a couple clean years, it’s #whamageddon in 2025. Is avoiding “ simply having a wonderful Christmas time.” a similar game? I failed miserably on that one, both a cover in the original.

I've started posting periodic personal updates to my blog. TL;DR so far so good either with treatment.

Yes, I am relatively well and blogging again! My latest post is a response to the Mac Admins Podcast episode with Kitzy. I talk about lore, choosing a workplace first, and leadership.

The variety of T-shirts I have been wearing to treatment has become a discussion item for staff. So I thought I’d share what I’m wearing for my last 3 radiation treatments:

#curling synthetic blue long sleeve.
#UCalgary crested green, long sleeve cotton.
#MacSysAdmin 2025 charcoal short sleeve
Hat: #WASBE 2019 Buñol black #WindBand.
Representing my communities!

The latest update to my Mac Hardware / Software Chart is now available, listing support (or lack thereof) for macOS Tahoe. This will also be the final update to the chart, but if someone wants to adopt it, I have now released the chart into the public domain (excluding apple's © icons, of course).
