I also have a thing for craft beer, and did so before it was quite as trendy as today.

I live in Meanjin/Brisbane QLD Australia - in Bardon 4065 - on the land of the Turrbul and Jagera people. I'm British and moved here ten years ago.

Just going through my camera items, so I can avoid paying Tim Apple more than I need to. Found this lovely bit of "people with the right name".

“Choc”.

The recipe for Smarties has changed to have less cocoa in it, and as a result apparently they can’t call it “chocolate” any more.

I blame Peter Dutton.

Fiddling about with #meshcore again tonight, to see if I can understand it all. Probably annoying the good folks on Discord with my damn-fool questions. It’s a very clever mesh network, with lots to like. It needs more users to be useful in #Brisbane - messages aren’t quite reliable, yet, because there aren’t enough repeaters, but it’s getting there. (And at least we can tell that messages don’t get through, thanks to the way the system works).

Hmm. My Meshcore repeater in the garage is down. I wonder why.

*Looks in garage*

OK, little guy, you just stay there. I'll push the plug back in later.

“We have this massive big space at the top of our office block. How can we make the roof migraine-inducing?”

Suncorp is weird. #brisbane

At the Enchanted Garden in Brisbane. Some of the things are very realistic.

The Murdoch press crowing about the social media ban should be a red warning flag.

Oh, Cloudflare. Naughty Cloudflare.

Very good it was, too!
