I thought I would take a look at Django, a high-level Python Web framework. It may prove useful going forward.
Albums 2019
December 01, 2019
I listened to quite a lot of stuff this year. These were my favourite things in 2019. The Boards of Canada entry is a compilation of other artists they curated for the Warp 30th Anniversary so it doesn't really belong here but was extremely good.

Brave's Privacy-First Browser
November 17, 2019
Another company promising privacy in a browser. I don't see what's so different about this compared to Firefox or Safari. Personally, I just use AdGuard which sits at the OS level meaning you are not tied to any one browser.
I think the Basic Attention Tokens that apparently run through blockchains is an interesting idea but will it take off? People don't like paying for things - that's the reason Facebook and Twitter have huge market share.
Chanel Bois Des Iles
November 16, 2019
A very refined sandalwood fragrance but the opening is just too feminine for me.
Autumn & Winter Fragrances
November 14, 2019
In rotation for this Autumn/Winter are some things that you might like. These are all fantastic fragrances that I totally recommend.
- Tom Ford Noir Extreme
- Valentino Uomo Noir Absolu

And if you can still find it, the EDT of Chanel Coromandel.
