Merry Christmas 2023

I reached down in my pocket and pulled out some hope and a short blog. On behalf of UMC1, UMC2, my wife, and the staff at Some Geek Told Me1, we hope everybody has a Merry Christmas! Being in New Zealand, my Christmas Day will have rain and a high of 23°C, which is 73.4°F for our Fahrenheit cousins.


This is our local town Christmas Tree, from the front and back. It may come as a complete surprise, but I’m not a professional photographer, so sorry about the crap photos.

Christmas is also the time of the year when I spend some extra time with UMC1 and UMC2, so this week’s blog is smaller; along with next week’s. If you’re a parent, I hope you understand. I’ll still be posting daily dribble on Twitter and Mastodon, so don’t panic.

Thank you for reading, following, and subscribing to Some Geek Told Me through 2023, it means a lot to me. Thanks for supporting this vanity project, and I’ll see you on 1st January 2024.
