.dev Nae thanks tae Google
So being of the developer persuasion thought I better buy the scottishlass.dev domain and point it here. Ha! Of all people, trying to buy via Google Domains just resulted in spinning circle for over an hour.

Oh Scotland,not *again*. Scotland 2 – Czech Republic 2
Emotional curve of following a Scotland football match: Before match: hope, excitement During match: elation, dejection, elation 10 mins to go: ecstasy “we’re going to qualify, this time we’re really, really going to do it” (reminds me of Charlie Brown trying to kick that American football) 2 mins in extra time: dejection, calamity, the-end-of-the world…

A hard drive named Lazarus
My hardware hoodoo continues. Earlier in the week I dropped a hard drive on the floor …a shiny, new, whopping 1TB. A fall of about a metre and a half. That sick sinking feeling. Plugged it in, yay the blue light was on, great, only one problem. The lights were on…but nobody was home. Disk…
