Randomly watched the original Planet of the Apes (1968). Absolutely fantastic. It holds up quite well.

I haven't used Linux on a laptop or desktop for a few years. After installing #linuxmint on an old (but still very nice) Dell laptop I am very impressed with just how *easy* it is.

NO lightsaber duel or space dogfight in Star Wars will ever go as hard as Stellan Skarsgård going: "I’ve made my mind a sunless space ... I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them ... I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see ... So what do I sacrifice? Everything!”

Need to become a nerd again.

Started talking about making a robotic fish feeder using an Arduino and people are looking at me like I'm some sort of psychopath.

I rather liked this. The artist has gifted a large collection of very mixed artworks to the local gallery.

Being a decades old digital kleptomaniac is really starting to cause problems. Just delete the lot?

Just realised I have toot deleting on.. I went to look for something I posted a while ago. So it goes, lol.

Loving copyparty! A web based file server that is a single python script. The clunky, old school look makes this old nerd happy. Plays media as well. Found an app on F-Droid called 'party up' that shares from phone direct to partyup server (not tested yet) https://github.com/9001/copyparty

Just finished a three month free trial with the music streaming service Qobuz. Very nice app - beautiful. Can actually buy the music via the service if you want. Still locked into Tidal, but Qobuz is very nice indeed.

argh.. hadn't set web server to Brisbane time zone. Bit of a clean up on aisle 3 in the database required.

Gerling put out some really beautiful tracks back in the day. https://tidal.com/track/90129128/u

Approaching five years of uptime. Probably should run those updates one day.

The savings give by a small solar system on the roof of our office. 7kw system with 5kw inverter. Bill without panels would have been $350, actual bill $105 for a saving of 70%. Six split system air conditioners. Usually a staff of 12 in the office. #renewables #solar

Brilliant electronic album that I am pretty sure you still cannot stream. Always hoping to come across the original 1999 CD that had to be pulled from the shelves because of uncleared samples. I do have a set of high quality mp3 files though. :-) […]
