This Easter, I’m paying my respects to Mr Jones, my primary school teacher who broke the school’s rules to let my friends and I mess with an ancient Apple IIe while the rest of the class did religion studies.

School policy at the time was to prevent secular kids from doing anything productive, lest we “get a leg up” on our peers.

(When my mum was first diagnosed, he was also the kindest person ever, because of course he was).

Wishing him all the best, wherever he is! I’m back there with him today typing on my current Apple IIe. ♡

You know what the worst thing is about having a head cold? I can't smell the beautiful Nicaraguan single origin beans I just ground and brewed into a tasty beverage of encouragement.

Okay, not the worst thing. Way down the list. Still sucks though.

I know when my career has shifted when having a head cold and sounding gross has a material impact on my job.

Webinars, client calls, and a podcast? "Mate, you sound crap, you okay?!"

Just passed a coffee shop in Lidcombe called 1 Litre Coffee.

Mmm… 1 Litre of coffee. ☕️

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Kate is an *awesome* editor. It's not often included by default in KDE distros, but it really should be. Even runs on my work Mac!

I still use Vim/nvi for editing configs etc, but am slowly moving over to Kate for everything else.
