Curtains of purple down the Brisbane River. The Jacarandas are in bloom.

I was thinking about upgrading to a fancy multifunction microwave oven-looking air fryer, but then I realised the thing I like most about my current one is there's no hot bits to touch, and I can just chuck the whole dirty bit in the dishwasher afterwards.

Youtube sounds like shit for music. It's a night and day difference* and it's especially annoying because I prefer the Youtube Music interface to basically anything else.

Cheating on my barista to get a Veneziano

This was prompted by wanting to make banana bread from the two soggy bananas I found in the fruit bowl when I got back.

My oven hasn't worked for a good couple of months, and I've just dealt with it because I have the air fryer and I want to replace the whole thing anyway. But I just found out it's actually working FINE, I just needed to set the time after it reset in a power outage.

I was asleep. My sister called to let me know. Mum woke up briefly. Dad and my sister told her it's time to go see Nana and Pop. Her sister. The little dog our wifi network is named after. All the loved ones who had passed. And then she did.

Telstra 5G is so oversubscribed in Hervey Bay that the catastrophically slow ping time broke the Speedtest interface and wrapped onto two lines

My mum's had breast cancer for a while now, but after a few years of fighting it she's made the decision to stop treatment and let go. She's comfortable, mostly just sleeping now, and surrounded by family. She's always been a strong woman, and I think this was her chance to go out on her own terms.

A cow rolls past, but they're not allowed to call it that any more. It's a computer on wheels.

Does anyone know how to record voice notes on Android Auto? I suppose I could send myself messages

The couple next door are outside. He's profoundly hard of hearing and she has a megaphone for a diaphragm. The cat's is named Greg, and they're trying to coax it inside. They're lovely people but these houses are close enough to hear each others toilets flush.

Somebody wants my sandwich

I am at Hervey Bay Hospital waiting in the "caution snakes have been sighted in this area" area. It's actually pretty nice. Œ

I've actually decided to lay on the floor for a bit because I do not fit in this bed and it's messing up my back.

As a tall person, maybe the cruellest thing you can do is tuck the sheets under the mattress at the end of the bed.

I've spent about $120 on ev charging this year.

*slaps roof* oh yeah, it's a Tahoe. A real fixer-upper.

Wow, my power station used 24% battery, just running the inverter with nothing plugged in? I pressed the button earlier in the night to see how much charge it had (100%) and didn't realise I'd left it on.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a non-US based VPN provider that includes socks proxies?

It would be good if `git bisect` had an auto mode that kept taking you back in increasing increments until you find a good commit. That alone is a chore. Best I can tell it doesn't.

"squeaky dyke, over and out!"

There's not much good on television at the moment. But the season 2 premiere of Juice made me crack up laughing. Brilliant.

Got some cuttings going

Current book is one of those run on zero punctuation affairs and I'm not feeling it he said

Well it's Tuesday. That's something.

Sunset, earlier #Brisbane

I'm not 100% but physically I feel really fucking good. And I'm just grateful for that, y'know?

Can any of you work out what that smell is?

Ass

Bob's Burgers is basically an audiobook with pictures on it. There's no visual gags, it's a talkie.

Apple now has a "reduce transparency" option that's also available to web sites. But I suspect it's dead on arrival as a targetable user preference because most people (like me) are just using it to work around bugs in liquid glass.

I made a cute email subscribe box and every so often I'll go back and sign up again just to watch it animate. #WebDev

TIL an element will fire a transitionstart event when a transition starts, but will fire EITHER a transitionend when it finishes or transitioncancel if, for instance, the element is removed from the DOM before it's done. #WebDev

sous vide pizza pockets

It's a fucking lovely day. Spring time is the best 👍

Anyway as a workaround for keyboard focus styles being visible when you open a modal on iOS, you can simply hide all the content until one tick after showing the modal, and make sure the modal itself doesn't have a focus outline. Cool and normal.

I had a coffee this morning which has nothing to do with my current anxiety, I'm sure.

I have important shit to do, but I'm here extruding spaghetti code to work around absurd bugs in iOS Safari, by far the most unstable gremlin of a browser. Apple is _definitely_ trying to kill off the web as a platform.

Looks like it's just cocoa in individual plastic tubs. RIP the planet.

urgh. I've bought hot chocolate "capsules" instead of sachets. Reckon I can just rip em open and dump em in milk? Surely there's nothing more high tech going on in there right?

Thicc thighs exploded this pair of jeans after a mere 3 months 😦

I don't even think Cross River rail will free up long distance capacity, because it's mostly one single rail up here and they only have one fucking platform they leave from.

Man I wish the trains in this state were better. My options for getting home are 6am, 630am or 10am. Hospital visiting hours are from 10. These times are just unworkable .

All my gadgets were in the backpack I forgot, so I've been reading books via the Kobo app on my phone. It's rather mediocre.

This is my parents internet connection on the NBN, because the property developer installed copper even as fibre was being rolled out everywhere else. Just bonkers.

I've spent all day travelling, only to realise my work laptop I need for tomorrow is packed safely in the backpack that I left at home.

Can't get into the new Parcels album. Too autotune twee. The opposite of chill.

Should get some sleep maybe

You know, you can get a half decent photo out of it if you underexpose it a bit. But I was walking in a group of post-party revelers along the bottom of the Kangaroo Point cliffs so I didn't want to make everyone wait. It was a nice night.
