Great seeing so many people commuting by bike this morning. Why yes, I do have a new helmet camera.

After being on dating apps for a couple of months, I’ll be taking the rest of the year off from meeting new people (because the next 6 weeks will be extremely busy). And I’ll be writing up my opinions of the whole thing. Hopefully that’ll be entertaining.
“It’s not too bad outside. I’ll take my bike into town.”
“Maybe I’ll take the bus…”
My very advanced native English speaking dilemma this week: appropriate use of into and in to. This language, you guys… ooof.
Beautifully still, mild night in Wellington tonight. Perfectly clear sky. Just ideal Lunar eclipse weather.
Watching the Moon being eclipsed, it’s incredible remembering that what I’m seeing is the shadow of the planet I’m standing on.
Eclipse is underway (and my iPad takes terrible night sky pictures)
“I have a girlfriend. But you wouldn’t know her, she’s on a different Mastodon instance.”
Yes it was later than usual. And the lights were in my favour. But I’d be challenged to get home much quicker, or even as quickly, in a car. There was almost 200 metres in elevation gain in there too.
Is this getting out of hand? Of course it is. Why would you expect otherwise?
One of my colleagues made a memorial card for Lefty.
![The inside of the card, which reads "Obituary. Today we come together to celebrate the extraordinary life of Left AirPod. Whether it was tunes or podcasts, they were there to help provide the stereo sound experience. They are survived by their loving partner Right AirPod, and their guardian [me]" Of note, Tim Cook was a guest speaker.](https://cdn.uploads.micro.blog/5795/2022/b99ba842bb.jpg)
I found Lefty, my missing AirPod! The bad news is, I found Lefty, my missing AirPod.
RIP Lefty, wherever you are. I know where it fell out, but after looking for the better part of an hour, it’s like it vapourised 🤷🏻♂️
US$8 a month is 30% more than I pay for my annual Disney Plus subscription. It’s only slightly less than Disney Plus and Amazon Prime subscription combined. And for that, they provide ME with content.
If you drive a car, you should attend a defensive driving course. If you ride a bike, there should be offensive riding courses. Because holy crap car drivers.
It’s great when the rain can show you where a major fault line is.
Hey everyone. A PSA: there’s a major bug in OpenSSL. The details are being released tomorrow. Please make sure you have auto-update turned on, on all your things. It’s going to be a fun day for the infosec and system admin peeps.
Noticed a bright pixel on my iPhone screen and couldn’t get rid of it. That’s $1,200 down the drain (because it’ll drive me insane!). Luckily, although I couldn’t get rid of it with a fold of my T-shirt, I did manage to scratch it off. *phew*
Just watched [Moonfall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonfall_(film) (sponsored by Kaspersky and Lexus). So stupid. So incredibly, incredibly stupid.
I’ve had a thorough search through a couple of search engines, but can’t find any mention of @manton talking about the Bluesky/AT Protocol. Seems very in line with the open web and mb. If it ever gets released of course…
Ha. Hahahaha. Ah hahahaha!
Nothing is sacred.
Doctor Who to get American makeover as Disney takes on British classic.
I’d like to apologise to everyone on the timeline here at micro.blog. I got sucked back in to Twitter with the extremely limited time I’ve had for social networks. But with a certain Space Karen about to burn Twitter to the ground, I’ll be here more. And very chatty when I am.
Just thinking about how back in the day on dial up, a 150 ms ping (or lag in games), was considered OK. That was on a 56,000 baud modem. Now with gigabit fibre, pings are around 20-40 ms. Because of the speed of light. And there’s no beating that.
I wish when iPhones were so old they were no longer receiving OS updates, that you could do something to turn on a mode where you could install a Linux distro or something similar so you could use them as very capable ARM servers. Like Raspberry Pis with built-in UPS.
