I found my Grandpa's #HamRadio call sign in a call book from 1931. :)

Our new home. Neighbours are mainly possums and lyrebirds. Coverage of the Blue Mountains Amateur Radio Club 2m #hamradio repeater is matching our forecasts, some very happy hams in the entire region. All the dead spots have disappeared 😃👍

TIL that to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of its construction, the operators of the Iwayagawauchi Dam in Japan's Saga prefecture had it pressure-washed into a picture of Godzilla.

@nocontexttrek are you spying on me? Watched this episode today.

I wish #TV shows were still episodic. Not only do episodes regularly end on cliffhangers, it's not that unusual to have a season end without a sense of completion as well. Even worse, sometimes #movies are split into parts I just want to watch a complete story guys, please don't drag it on for half a decade or more.

@grumpygamer I have switched to doing a code reading exercise for junior positions just to verify they know something about coding. Other than that, having a conversation about previous roles and projects is the most effective way I have found.
@rmounce I have a fairly modern copy I play with my youngest.
