Proud of the Black Caps getting into the semis again. But beating that Indian team in India is quite an ask. The Black Caps are still, I think, the most underrated cricket team, second only to Afghanistan (we’re always second…)

Coalition of Chaos: Luxon and Seymour U-turn back to Auckland to meet Peters.
It’s been a month since our election and these clowns still haven’t formed a government.
I got beeped at for just being on the road (on my bike) today. Despite going at the speed of other traffic. Some people… (I have it on video)
I’m done with the limitations of my raspberry pis (mostly due to the power restraints of the USB hub). So I’m using a real computer instead. Reviving my beloved 2008 MBP with a new operating system.
I stumbled onto the world of mechanical keyboard modders on YouTube. And whānau, these people make “audiophiles” look like completely reasonable people.
I hope the final of the Cricket World Cup is New Zealand v South Africa and NZ win by one run.
This is why taking your time is important. It makes it possible to have a free and fair election.
It was a mistake to watch the latest Rick and Morty while eating dinner. Damn that show. It may have just made me vegan.
I hope you’ve all done your patriotic duty and voted for the bird of the century www.birdoftheyear.org.nz
Why is search in Jira so bad!? Like, “I want ticket number 1234.” “sorry mate, never heard of that” “PROJ-1234” “oh, right. Sure. Here’s PROJ-1342.”
I’m watching last week tonight and oh no. He’s about to talk about New Zealand. 😔
Ban. Fireworks.
Delaying the inevitable. Hope the next strongly Green government pulls funding from motorways and redirects it to these essential pieces of safety infrastructure. Waka Kotahi puts funding for cycling, walking and public transport initiatives on hold
Preparing for final results of the election. It’s going to be either horrific with Aotearoa getting its most right wing government, maybe ever, or its most hilariously chaotic. Results in 40 minutes.
The fact that the Mystery Jets song Two Doors Down has a sax solo but not a drum solo is a musical crime.
Bike people: has anyone out there done a drive train replacement? It seems reasonably straight forward from the YouTube videos I’ve seen. Last time I got the bike shop to do it it cost me almost a grand, which seems way too high.
Sure sex is great, but have you ever seen attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, or C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate?
Last week I ticked over to 5,000 km on my Benno Boost. It’s been my car for two and a half years and it’s fantastic. And now I’m getting very into maintaining it, it’s even better. Would like a slightly lighter run around, though.
Left my glasses at home for the first time since getting them. Luckily I can survive without them (and had done so for a few years I reckon). But man I’m going to be wiped tonight. Time to get some cheap work emergency backup specs.
I thought the speedometer on my bike was broken. Missing the wheel going by the sensor a third to a half of the time… But turns out somehow my speedo had switched from km/h to miles/h. Back to sensible speeds being displayed.
A thrilling match only seconded by the last World Cup final. No shame in this one for the Black Caps. A single extra boundary would have done it.
In the most kiwi accent: “And to talk about the Rugby World Cup final, we’re now joined by Rodney Southland, our sports reporter in Paris.” “Wee! Bone swar, everyone. It’s shaping up…”
Pōneke people: that heavy cold rain and hail that’s being predicted? My scouts with a view south confirm it’s on its way. Hold on to your butts.
Nothing sweeter than closing support tickets because the people who lodged them haven’t bothered to get back to you. Can’t be that big an issue! Qapla,!
Lots of buildings swaying in the wind today. Rocking back and forth at my desk. Wonder what it’s like at the top of the building, 10 floors up.
