Sofi and Tukker on stage. Tukker is on the decks and Sofi is being grand up on a platform, amongst a red sea of fire visualisation on the screens

Sofi Tukker at Fortitude Music Hall. So damn good. Like being inside a real life Winamp.

I'm not going to do it, but just imagine my prompt for a Bunnings green-on-brown catalogue illustration of a pack of Babybel that looks a bit like a ballbag.

Myself, at the back of the boat, giving a smile just for you fyi. It's night time and the Story Bridge is lit in rainbow colours that reflect smears of colour down the river

We're at the selfie portion of the journey

Yeah, caught the CityCat home at Bunnings too 😝

$4.98 at Bunnings, a pack of Babybel and the CityCat home.

dumb idea: a tool to take a long article and turn it into a series of skeets throughout the day for the short of attention span. blog as linear television.

Code is cheap. Show me the talk. Linus Torvalds once said, 'Talk is cheap. Show me the code'. That is no longer the case.

The thing I'm looking forward to least is that Adobe has had a MRR chokehold on visual folk forever, and it feels like now it's us developers' turn nadh.in/blog/code-is...

Today it's a very merry cockroach guys day because the cockroach guys came. So now I'm excited for, to be fair, the same amount of cockroaches but in different configurations of alive.

My noggin wot with the mad scientist mullet and all. Some junk and my apartment in the background.

Today I have quite a bit of hair going on, and while it's not exactly cooperating I kind of like it so you get to enjoy it too

Lunch break at Brunch Lake

But I got an email reminding me that I'm seeing Sofi Tukker on Thursday!! Which is Today!! Oh shit!! (next thursday).

Getting a new wave of spam in Dutch. There must have been another data breach.

Like that time I was riding along the Riverwalk and the pedals fell off. No way stop the charges until I pushed the heavy AF bike couple of kilometres to a parking area. Capitalist fucking hellscape with cute, inoffensive branding.

I really dislike that Lime has a completely automated support system. No humans involved at all, and no accountability. You're legally required to wear a helmet, but half their fleet has been damaged or stolen, and there's no way to report it.

Where did southern Australia’s record-breaking heatwave come from? Australia’s northwest is well known for its heat. But this furnace-like area can deliver heatwaves to the southeast, thousands of kilometres away.

Should this heatwave be named? https://theconversation.com/where-did-southern-australias-record-breaking-heatwave-come-from-274417

weeeeee

A seven date chart showing emissions volume in the Australian NEM electricity grid. The last three days are significantly higher, with orange peaks showing increased gas emissions. Not pictured, but lines up pretty well with the heat wave sweeping the country.

'nother brownout. Lights dimmed and the UPS clicked. Lots of gas in the grid at the moment, and looking at the charts it lines up pretty well with the heatwave. Funny that. Those emissions are yucko.

Yeah I really like them. My work monitor needs to be replaced, and I'm putting together an argument not to replace it with a complete potato from the standard hardware list. This is comparably priced, which is why I'm trying to suss it out.

(lol)

Now we have AI to build it for us, the hardest part is registering a good domain name.

Nice, that's put my mind at ease then. I know the Big Macs can draw a hundred and something watts, but it feels unnecessary unless you're burning through power doing bitcoins or the like.

Hey nerdfolk, if I was looking for a cheap monitor to run a MacBook Pro, would something like this be alright? I think the non-Thunderboltiness is ok for a keyb & moose. But is the wattage too low for general workday workloads? What's the catch?
