In tribute to you we will be playing Amr Diab (poor man's Ricky Martin) tonight. Actually, we play him every Friday because we're tryna make him our #1 Spotify song. 👍
Not for another hour 😭 but I have got Mirely up to level 10, and defeated the boss for the Fetid Coast quest. Now I have one to do with White flame Golems and one for Depth Level 4!
I bought the butterfly knight, but I haven't played them yet. Had to buy the one that repped my NB status haha! Ended up with all the skins for Mirely because she's level 10 and deserves it lol
Thank you for getting me into this game, it's such a blast!!! 💜 You're a gem, Gibs!
It is complex! I'm playing the bladerfly and he plays so differently from Mirely.
With Mirely it feels like cheating, build an evasion build with her, and you can just dodge everything. You can eventually level her up so she has a chance to dodge statuses when hidden. It's insane. Give her an angry spirit or two and yeah, she can steamroll.
The game defo gets harder, but all the more interesting. I'm very excited to try all the heroes, the complexity of the game is hidden behind it's cartoon, adventure quest-esque charm. Cannot thank you enough, owe you your favourite drink, friend!
Sussing a few things on the roof for the p's. Quite the view:
As a youngen used to come back from parties mashed and sit up there at night and look at the skyline (and got into a lot of trouble if caught). In hindsight probably not wise.
These days it's all about loose tiles and gutters.
Thanks for sharing this. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. (If you wouldn’t mind sharing) The stain will definitely make most fabric colours pop.
I used this colour on a small flip top student desk to great effect . I tried applying a gold leaf scrimshaw design around the edges and failed miserably haha. So had to keep it simple with just the stain.
Ok, it's happened again. I don't watch TV, except when the Olympics or World Cup are on. I am amped to be completely smothered in sport for a few weeks until I again am sick of sports for another four years. 🏑🏃♂️🚴♂️🤸♀️🏅🏀🏓🎯🏸
I love them all - I'm always amazed seeing people who are the best in the world at what they do, doing their thing.
The biggest change in our house is the kids have taken up hockey in the past four years. So, hockey (a sport I've been mildly interested in at most) is going to be a huge deal. I think Perth might be the HQ for hockey in Australia. The kids met and had photos playing and hanging out with the Hockeyroos - who visited our club.
$27 gets you a month of Stan + the sports pack. Every event live or on-demand at a time that suits you. No ads. It's amazeballs. I just watched four rugby rapid recaps, 8 hours of rugby distilled into 20 intense minutes. You can watch on whatever screen you have.
Well today is it. I've just emailed not only the HR person but also the two people who interviewed me, making sure they know if an offer doesn't come by COB today I can't guarantee my availability for the new roles start date. Going to be hilarious and depressing when I hear nothing in reply
Going to be hilarious and depressing when I hear nothing in reply
sorry, disagree. You're putting yourself first and that's something to be proud of! if they cant sort their shit out in a few days they aren't someone you wanna work for anyway.
Was watching NRL but that's finished now (GO STORM) and was thinking I might fire up Red Dead Redemption 2 because I'm trying again to get into the game
Having a quiet night on the couch with a mug of hot rooibos tea and bossa nova playing in the background, perfect for unwinding and writing out lists of random things I need to do.
Yes!! I had to get 'computer' glasses years ago cause my eyes would hurt after work. My vision is pretty much perfect, but screens play havoc on me. Since getting the specs, no such issues.
It's not the screen. It's your eyes focused on one thing constantly. You need to give them a break every 45 minutes or so. Even something as simple as looking at something distant for a minute every hour will help a great deal.
I just dreamt about the end of the world. It was really cinematic and had a cast of characters, none of them me but at times I was each of the characters. It had a series of time jumps and stories playing out about their lives before the finale which was in the future where there were millions of satellites in the night's sky. They were all different colours and shapes and clusters and zipped by closer than felt comfortable. Then they'd found a way to project a reflection of the earth in the sky so you could see all of the countries, and did a presentation on them which felt like a "thank you for your time here on earth, humans" where they showcased humanity over the years from every walk of life. It was all very impressive but it also felt very “big corporation” which felt fitting for where we’re headed.
Then during a random moment of conversation with one of the aged characters, one of the only remaining original ones who hadn't died off, the waves came. The first was large enough to know it was about to be the end. Then right after it the character was floating and could see the second world ender coming, gasped and then lights out and I woke up.
I haven't even talked about the story of her life or her late husband's life which was its own thing. There was sadness, redemption, fame, failure, regret and wrestling. And randomly, a pool of hippos which was under their huge warehouse where they lived. You could get to it from under their bed. Weird.
Anyway I just kinda wanted to journal this because it was kind of epic. It even had side characters who felt like they had their own journies over the time jumps, or had their own troubles which were suddenly gone and seemed trivial but also not trivial at the time, but were just the past after the time jumps and those characters had passed.
Dude, this sounds like one of my epic dreams with full on back stories for all the characters and detailed plot developments. I'd read the expanded version. And watch the movie adaptation
I'm so over being at home. I seem to be done with the night sweats and headaches and sore throat; the cough is now mostly at night and after eating food. Yesterday I hardly coughed until right after dinner when it turned into a couple hours of feeling like I had little flecks of liquid constantly entering my windpipe, resulting in increasingly chesty yet mostly dry coughs. I think it's laryngopharyngneal reflux, took a PPI last night and one this nothing and not coughing nearly as much tonight.
If I stay on the PPIs for several days hopefully that'll be it. I desperately need to go out for some chores this weekend and to break the cabin fever. And I really DO NOT want to keep working from home next week
E: really craving fish and potato patties... or soft floppy hot chips.
still arguing with box. Took a quick break to tackle another box (unpacking) in bedroom, found a sensor light we used to have in the old wardrobe. Have now converted it to run off USB and will plug it into the brewery so you can find the bloody light switch. Accomplish. nods
I still like gaming, but haven't found anything interesting to play. I enjoyed Banishers recently, although the story was a bit sad and gloomy. Nothing else has piqued my interest, which isn't a bad thing cause I'm doing a bit more reading.
Once Star Wars Outlaws comes out, I'll have something to play and probably AC Shadows.
I'm wondering if it is a lack of interest in current games as well. Nothing is really standing out to me right now. I'm playing Tintin at the moment, mainly because I love Tintin even though the game is a mess.
It looks lovely outside and I'm stuck at work looking at it through the window. By the time I get home and have the opportunity to take Mr Woof for a walk it will be dark again.
The first big chair is fully sanded and wiped down ready for staining. 😬 It's nothing fancy but it's solid oak . This will be the 3rd time in it's lifetime it's been recovered
I have a package waiting for me which I think will be my shoes. Plus it also has a cutter (bought to get me over the minimum spend!) which should be helpful in opening all the other packages which are currently enroute.
this box is truly proving a meat filled pumpkin rolled into my enclosure.
pfsense is a no go as this little bastard runs a celeron, but I may still possibly use it as the mesh router for openwrt....if I could get it to recognise any of the boot disks....
Haven't kept up if you've made earlier posts on this... but pfsense won't run on a celeron? Is that because of the BSD-ness of it all? TIL.
I'm running it on a total overkill 6th-gen i5 but thought the requirements were pretty lightweight. Depends on what you need to do with it I guess! I've also got the thing doing DNS, DHCP, ntopng and incoming VPN and the thing still sits at basically idle.
Are the requirements any lighter for opnsense? Still BSD though I guess, if that's the issue. It's been years since I've looked at this stuff, I had lots of stability issues on opnsense but it may have improved now.
I -have- found that yelling at it, followed by some percussive maintenance, sometimes helps.
I have an old Qualys Sensor Appliance II. Was gonna turn it into a pfsense firewall, but it's reporting the CPU doesn't support long mode (no 64bit architecture) which is why it's out. OpenWRT has continued with 32bit support for longer, kinda its deal, so I'm thinking the box could become the core router for the openwrt mesh I'm building from scavenged tech. All their "boot disks" however are not booting. booo. booo.
oh this is a fun one (I'm trying lunbuntu on this for starters, then openwrt on top but may tweak it with an even smaller OS or just slack) - has to be a custom build. CPU doesn't support 64 bit architecture but it has SATA...and a 3gb IDE hdd??
Oh looks like my email worked. Got the verbal offer, expecting it in writing in a few hours
WOOHOO!!! Congratulations!!!
Yay, congrats!

Yay!!
So first week is over!!!
Feel really good about having a weekend, now that I'm actually working.
No red flags as yet, can start working from home next week. Nothing much else to really report. So far so good!!!
It's so good to hear you're happy ♥
Thank you ❤️ I know this place is just a forum, but the people here have made a huge difference to my life, which I am incredibly grateful for 🙏
In tribute to you we will be playing Amr Diab (poor man's Ricky Martin) tonight. Actually, we play him every Friday because we're tryna make him our #1 Spotify song. 👍
Alright I'm cranking him. Fuck it lol
I haven't actually listened since I was a kid. Im genuinely curious to see what middle eaten music sounds like these days.
I only really listen to Om Kalsoum. Ask your hubby if he likes that sort of stuff.
Are you fucking kidding me? Om Kulthum is the only Arab we know. My FIL favourite singer of all time. My husband started laughing.
As far as he knows Om Kulthum means mother of underwear.
Being an observer to your life has been a cool journey.
All the best brother 😁 to you and your cat.
Thanks man, I really appreciate you saying that 😊 It's been a hell of a ride so far lol
You are an actual star 💜💜💜
Woohoo congrats!!!!!
I've survived the week, online classes until 6.30pm tonight.
Glad I've done this for myself.
Well done ❤️ You know what time it is? Breach wanderers time lol
Not for another hour 😭 but I have got Mirely up to level 10, and defeated the boss for the Fetid Coast quest. Now I have one to do with White flame Golems and one for Depth Level 4!
I bought the butterfly knight, but I haven't played them yet. Had to buy the one that repped my NB status haha! Ended up with all the skins for Mirely because she's level 10 and deserves it lol
Thank you for getting me into this game, it's such a blast!!! 💜 You're a gem, Gibs!
Holy shit you beat the boss?!?!?
Fuck yeah!!!!
I've been using the paladin but I'm switching to Mirely if I can beat the boss and get to depth level 4.
I just love how different every character plays like. Adds so much complexity to the game!
It is complex! I'm playing the bladerfly and he plays so differently from Mirely.
With Mirely it feels like cheating, build an evasion build with her, and you can just dodge everything. You can eventually level her up so she has a chance to dodge statuses when hidden. It's insane. Give her an angry spirit or two and yeah, she can steamroll.
The game defo gets harder, but all the more interesting. I'm very excited to try all the heroes, the complexity of the game is hidden behind it's cartoon, adventure quest-esque charm. Cannot thank you enough, owe you your favourite drink, friend!
Thanks for the heads up about Mirely! Absolute beast! I saved up and now I have 4 camping things so I reckon I can finally beat depth level 3!
The character with the different stances is hard to get your head around.
Going to try the bladed butterfly as well.
Such a great game which is basically free!

The braking charm should help should you fall.
🤣
ta da, first coat of stain/varnish is done, it's much nicer than I thought it would be, such a good product!
::: spoiler spoiler :::
Black Japan. Always impressive. What colour is the fabric?
it's a patchwork of baroque fabrics
Thanks for sharing this. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. (If you wouldn’t mind sharing) The stain will definitely make most fabric colours pop.
I used this colour on a small flip top student desk to great effect . I tried applying a gold leaf scrimshaw design around the edges and failed miserably haha. So had to keep it simple with just the stain.
I'm going to make some big scatter cushions as well to match and some of the fabrics have silver or gold thread. Just a tiny touch of gilding effect 👍
Looks amazing. Great work!
oooooo
That's looking really nice!
Wow. Nice work!
Leaving SR and have the sads… 10/10 would come back. Yes, the heat is oppressive, but I just really dig the idea of Angkor Wat being in my backyard…
Angkor Wat is amazing.
Nice. Seriously one of the most amazing places I've been to.
Lol
A touch too warm for me but looks well insulated. I’ll give it that.
Looks cosy
That's a hot deal. Offer while stocks last, indeed.

Only time I regret not having a TV (but can just watch on 7plus anyway I assume 🤷♂️
My wife and I spent an hour trying to justify buying a TV for shits and giggles.
We came up with a massive list of arguments. A large handful of strong against, and 1 weak support.
We had a landlord-provided TV in the old apartment. We both lived there for 2 years, the TV used for probably an hour in total.
$27 gets you a month of Stan + the sports pack. Every event live or on-demand at a time that suits you. No ads. It's amazeballs. I just watched four rugby rapid recaps, 8 hours of rugby distilled into 20 intense minutes. You can watch on whatever screen you have.

ooooh xero don't you DARE go offline at 4:40 on FRIDAY.....
EDIT: Stand down. It was just slow. Admin done. Weekend is here 🍻
What's everyone doing tonight?
Making music and staying up till midnight because I've been crashing at 9pm for work all week lol
Spent about 5+ hours on a bus only to be stuck in traffic hell for another hour in a Tuk Tuk… Go me… 😂
Went out to local Malaysian food, now home and will choose a movie to watch.
Malaysian food is so underrated. So unique and so good.
Staying out of the ice wind. About to start season 3 of The Bear.
Was watching NRL but that's finished now (GO STORM) and was thinking I might fire up Red Dead Redemption 2 because I'm trying again to get into the game
Mildly drunk and stoned...re watching Game of Thrones.
Light of the Seven (song/track) is absolutely haunting
Devouring a pizza. Watching the footy. Staying warm.
Let's go blue baggers!
Bit worried. I did tip the Blues knowing they lost a good number of players.
Port are playing better than expected.
I called it! I tipped wrong tonight and the Blues lost.
No
Wheezing
Oh shit. That's not fun.

Just watched an episode of House (the kid’s current fave show), now going to bed. Had a really full-on week and I’m knackered.
My kid had that House phase too.
Good night.

Bruh shits deep
One thing I didn't account for is having to acclimate to looking at a screen for 8 hours. Weirdest headache last night.
Hopefully it eases up in a few more days.
Might be worth an eye test if you havnt had one in a while. Slow blinking and plenty of water too.
Yes!! I had to get 'computer' glasses years ago cause my eyes would hurt after work. My vision is pretty much perfect, but screens play havoc on me. Since getting the specs, no such issues.
I need new glasses really fucking badly. Mine are so scratched I'm surprised I can still see through them lol
Are your shoulders and neck sore as well?
Not sitting properly can cause pain there which subsequently leads to a headache.
Yeah I've got a shoulder injury from years ago that flares up if my posture is bad. Might have to make some changes at the desk
It's not the screen. It's your eyes focused on one thing constantly. You need to give them a break every 45 minutes or so. Even something as simple as looking at something distant for a minute every hour will help a great deal.
Good idea. I'm talking a 10 Min walk around the block every couple of hours.
I just dreamt about the end of the world. It was really cinematic and had a cast of characters, none of them me but at times I was each of the characters. It had a series of time jumps and stories playing out about their lives before the finale which was in the future where there were millions of satellites in the night's sky. They were all different colours and shapes and clusters and zipped by closer than felt comfortable. Then they'd found a way to project a reflection of the earth in the sky so you could see all of the countries, and did a presentation on them which felt like a "thank you for your time here on earth, humans" where they showcased humanity over the years from every walk of life. It was all very impressive but it also felt very “big corporation” which felt fitting for where we’re headed.
Then during a random moment of conversation with one of the aged characters, one of the only remaining original ones who hadn't died off, the waves came. The first was large enough to know it was about to be the end. Then right after it the character was floating and could see the second world ender coming, gasped and then lights out and I woke up.
I haven't even talked about the story of her life or her late husband's life which was its own thing. There was sadness, redemption, fame, failure, regret and wrestling. And randomly, a pool of hippos which was under their huge warehouse where they lived. You could get to it from under their bed. Weird.
Anyway I just kinda wanted to journal this because it was kind of epic. It even had side characters who felt like they had their own journies over the time jumps, or had their own troubles which were suddenly gone and seemed trivial but also not trivial at the time, but were just the past after the time jumps and those characters had passed.
Oh wow... I wonder if you can expand this into a bigger piece of creative writing?
Watched Interstellar lately?
Dude, this sounds like one of my epic dreams with full on back stories for all the characters and detailed plot developments. I'd read the expanded version. And watch the movie adaptation
I'm so over being at home. I seem to be done with the night sweats and headaches and sore throat; the cough is now mostly at night and after eating food. Yesterday I hardly coughed until right after dinner when it turned into a couple hours of feeling like I had little flecks of liquid constantly entering my windpipe, resulting in increasingly chesty yet mostly dry coughs. I think it's laryngopharyngneal reflux, took a PPI last night and one this nothing and not coughing nearly as much tonight.
If I stay on the PPIs for several days hopefully that'll be it. I desperately need to go out for some chores this weekend and to break the cabin fever. And I really DO NOT want to keep working from home next week

still arguing with box. Took a quick break to tackle another box (unpacking) in bedroom, found a sensor light we used to have in the old wardrobe. Have now converted it to run off USB and will plug it into the brewery so you can find the bloody light switch. Accomplish. nods
Had the idea to convert some kmart string lights to run off USB from about 2 years ago, still haven't gotten around to doing so yet though.
In this case it was literally 3AA, and i save cables off everything that dies so all i had to do was two dobs of solder :D
Nursing a strained groin muscle AND I have nothing to play on the PS5.
Woe is me
Don't know if it's me and shifting interests or what, but gaming just hasn't appealed to me for quite a few months now.
I still like gaming, but haven't found anything interesting to play. I enjoyed Banishers recently, although the story was a bit sad and gloomy. Nothing else has piqued my interest, which isn't a bad thing cause I'm doing a bit more reading.
Once Star Wars Outlaws comes out, I'll have something to play and probably AC Shadows.
Current offerings just aren't there for me.
I'm wondering if it is a lack of interest in current games as well. Nothing is really standing out to me right now. I'm playing Tintin at the moment, mainly because I love Tintin even though the game is a mess.
Sometimes it comes down to a few things like how you’re feeling and if you’re in the or if anything interesting takes your fancy.
I experience lulls sometimes and don’t play anything and other times I’ll get inspiration to play and something and finish it.
BG3?
Been there, done that. Got close to the end of Act 3 and just gave up. Might do another play through eventually but can't be bothered.
It looks lovely outside and I'm stuck at work looking at it through the window. By the time I get home and have the opportunity to take Mr Woof for a walk it will be dark again.
idiots, we can do without them
Not sure if this is appropriate for anti gratitude but my friend that I haven’t seen in awhile suddenly invited me over to his place for drinks.
What sucks is I don’t really feel like going and I can’t really drink much since I’m driving and it’s out to Rowville.

Doggocalhoon. He's recently been given couch privileges, and it's working out great.
Packing of clothing waiting for me at my desk at work! Can't wait to get home and have a good look through it all!
I have a package waiting for me which I think will be my shoes. Plus it also has a cutter (bought to get me over the minimum spend!) which should be helpful in opening all the other packages which are currently enroute.
What on earth is going on with Aus Post today.
My security camera captures one delivery from the postie. Then an hour later same guy delivers another package.
And AusPost tracking still has another one coming today.
Sounds like someone at AusPost has messed up the timeline 🤦♀️
The 3rd item came in a van, the other two were on the postie bike. Weird all around. None were big items, just books.
It's a Kyburz DXP.
That's the postie-mobile. Like the popemobile, but it delivers goods instead of faith.
Taking a break at another team’s desk with their permission so I can have some peace and quiet.

All their "boot disks" however are not booting. booo. booo.
AHH ok. Balls to the no 64-bit support. That would be a nice little piece of kit to sit out of sight and handle this stuff.
My only OpenWRT experience was flashing it onto a Netgear wireless router once upon a time, and as I recall even that was a PITA. Good luck!!!
oh this is a fun one (I'm trying lunbuntu on this for starters, then openwrt on top but may tweak it with an even smaller OS or just slack) - has to be a custom build. CPU doesn't support 64 bit architecture but it has SATA...and a 3gb IDE hdd??
