It’s that weird time of year when I have to buy two months' worth of stuff to avoid holiday shut downs. Annoying.

I just watched The Matrix: Resurrections. I don’t know why that movie got so much hate. It’s by far the second best Matrix movie.

If you’re a nerd like me, PiHole is undetectable by YouTube and blocks all ads. Outside of YouTube, you should be running PiHole, anyway. It’s makes the internet usable again.

Windows is so shit. In the 16 years I’ve been using OS X/macOS, I’ve closed my laptop and whenever I opened it, my stuff was still there. Windows seems to shut down and close everything, out of spite, every other day. It’s borderline unusable.

I am shocked. SHOCKED! That a giant road is having a negative impact on the surrounding environment.

A landmark Wellington motorway once lauded for its green credentials is being investigated for its impact on streams, native fish and one of the country’s most sensitive inlets.

Does any one here need a BlueSky invite? I have 5.

I appreciate that lawn mowing robots are super cool. However, the best lawns are ones that aren’t mowed and are filled with wildlife and pollinating insects.

It’s hilarious that a @ weekly corntab command in Raspberry Pi OS executes at 00:00 on Sunday. Which was a few minutes ago. I’m still up and lost my internet while my PiHole rebooted. And I honestly can’t remember why reboot it every week.

Typical Australian cricketers being the worst humans. The Black Caps helped Kholi because he was in pain, and they have some Aussie cricketers completely lack: empathy.

Black Caps slammed by former Australian cricketer for assisting Virat Kohli

I hope everyone who admins an Elastic environment is having a very pleasant day.

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.

The Electoral Commission has updated the official vote count, after data entry errors were discovered and a box of votes on the East Coast was forgotten about.

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.
