Windows 11 was announced around 3 weeks ago, and I was hesitant to install it at first. However, I heard great feedback from people. And I wanted to see what the developer experience would be. I hope you enjoy my experience with Windows 11 as a developer. If you enjoyed this post, please consider supporting me on Ko-Fi .

Yesterday, I found out my blog has reached over 100,000 views, I’m over the moon. This milestone has taken 11 years, but that’s 11 years of on/off posting. To some, this may seem like a small achievement. However, to me, it's a huge milestone and one I will cherish forever. Read the blog post .

I thought my dentist appointment was today but I was wrong, it's next month on the 8th. I did, however, find a very friendly cat. Loki is out now, and the first episode was very enjoyable. I highly recommend people check it out on Disney+. New movies are coming out, too, which is great to see. Please support me on Ko-Fi .
Apple revealed a host of new OS updates in their WWDC conference. I'm using the latest iPadOS 15 and testing many features, including their new dictation feature. Check out the entire event in 11 minutes on YouTube . Please support me on Ko-Fi .
I recorded this podcast episode a little earlier than usual to avoid noise from my next-door neighbour. I've also got a dentist appointment at 11:30 because I broke a tooth on a hard seed. ( Check out Huel, by the way! ). Also, I have my COVID appointment booked for this Saturday (I can't remember if I said it previously). The series I watched on Netflix is called Abstract: The art of design . Please feel free to leave a voice message, and I will add it to the next podcast episode. Don't forget ...

It was a pretty busy bank holiday weekend. We visited our family members, and I finished a CrossFit workout called "Murph".
Today, we're heading to Somerset and spending some quality time with more family members. Also, Sunburn is a pain, and I wish either the MS band 2 still existed, or another device had UV sensors and notifications.
Today I visited Paignton zoo with my wife, brother, his partner and my nephews. There was fun to be had, and it was lovely. Have a great Sunday. I also want to apologise for the quality of this episode. It was recorded on my iPhone and sounded like it was recorded with a potato. I won't be doing another recording like this again.
Today, my wife and I will be going to the zoo with my brother, his partner and nephews. Hopefully, the weather will stay nice for us but we will most definitely see.
This episode goes through what I would recommend you read to level yourself up. Firstly, two great authors I recommend are Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferriss. They're fantastic and have so much insight into living life.

It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, considering everyone says it's the most painful place to get one. My wife would say, "no sense, no feeling" which is probably very true. Here's a tweet with the picture of my tattoo. - https://twitter.com/MBrooksUK/status/1397579293979521030
Before COVID, I had a ring that was bigger in size. When lockdown happened, my finger shrunk in size because I was no longer working out at all, and before I noticed how much it shrunk, I lost my ring. I didn't notice it was gone until I got home, and it was a good amount of miles away from the original place I lost it, so I didn't go back to look. Instead, I ordered another ring that was smaller to fit the current size of my finger. After going back to Crossfit, my finger grew in size once agai...

Sometimes it can be tough to get back into a routine after a lovely holiday.
