Roses are red

Something else is maroon

My poetry sucks

Get well soon

Managed to go into this without any-trailers/spoilers/etc. Hated the "Children in Need"-esque intro, it felt like the ye-olde cartoon before the movie starts.

I can understand concerns about this being the second of only three Tennant/Tate episodes, that it's the anniversary and we want big celebrations and megabucks worth of explosions and monsters and all that. Instead, we get a full episode with the two stars and their talent, no distractions or crawling through attics. PS. Sylvia and Wilf still - and always will - be awesome.

This was like RDT's and Moffat's lovechild, like Midnight and Event Horizon and Alien. Confidently slow-paced with great writing and time for running around, and still having time for a proper ending rather than a magical macguffin arse-pull.

Properly loved it.

In case I’m not the last person to know, three out of three medical professionals recommended Coca Cola for removing a piece of dinner lodged in my throat. It took a couple of hours, but it worked. 10/10 would recommend but also 0/10 would definitely not recommend.

Also, I discovered that Bayswater has a 24 hour urgent care clinic underneath Coles. In case you didn’t know.

Probably most useful is Gridfinity for the desk drawers and multiboard for the wall. Not completely sold on multiboard yet - there are so many pieces and options that I haven’t got my head around it yet.

I printed my credit card wallet which has been ace.

I really want the stagetop table system to be useful, but I struggle with the print times and volume of parts to print and might wait until I have a faster printer.

Just added wefwef to my home pages in place of Apollo. There's almost no upskilling from Apollo to wefwef - they're very very similar. Also, I can't believe web apps have come so far in the traditional 'app' user experience.

Dang I wish I still had my usbourne programming books. Those little robots carrying 1’s and 0’s while I programmed in basic on the apple ][ were made for this verification.

Edit: my steam account just turned 21. That’s a bit terrifying actually, but it has a use.

I’m better, thanks and thanks also for the info. I ended up at Box Hill before the coke finally worked. The doctor had just given us the update that the fast track wait time was out to 2 hours and recommended that I just keep sipping it.

Lunch in Surrey Hills. Nice to get out of the house (WFH has made me a hermit).

Here’s the next big gap in the market - professional devs and business analysts forming businesses that untangle and reimplement business processes borked by shadow IT AI scripts and agents.

How can a fence builder get it so wrong? Our front fence failed footing and final inspection - the posts are higher than the plan, and the concrete pads don’t go deep enough into the holes. We’re at a loss…

As someone else wrote somewhere... RTD's back, which means the carnival's back in town. Lots of running about, flashing lights, loud music, a stunt show with exploding things and people shooting at each other, and comedy hi jinks.

I liked the small things - the time vortex having open areas with multiple paths from 13, the helping/oh-shit-nope-not-helping with the stacking, the psychic paper not keeping up, 'she's fine/she's not fine/been fine', Sylvia's "YOU!", Donna's 'WHAT THE HELL!', the 'you can't know your future conversation' up until they mentioned (again) that Donna dies if she remembers. Didn't mind the parademons, like the idea of the Sonic having a UI (but hated the shields), loved The Meep even after they got sidelined for the big ending. Console room was kinda meh still, big and bland atm.

Shoutout to whichever roller skate manufacturer found the niche making skates for Rhinos.

That would mean they’re nearly ready to begin pre-alpha for the single player mode? Can’t be launching without SQ42 ship sales eh?

Can’t wait to spend $$$ to pull a limited ultra rare foil numbered “Kirk - Covered in Tribbles” card! Definitely not PTW though.

Does anyone have any experience with changing owner’s corporations? It’s been two years since the townhouses on our block were moved in to, no AGMs or meetings, no responses to emails or phone messages.

Chicken :(

Was at the RACV park in Inverloch (VIC) last weekend. Lots of kangaroos and wombats roaming around - one was being given space while it crossed over the bridge lmao. We love that everyone is chilled and everything was so quiet and peaceful.

I wonder if project managers had the same feeling toward agile. There will always be demand for developers, the challenge now is how to get developers skilled and experienced enough to tackle real project work.

On the plus side, you’ll never have to code a habit tracker ever again…

4/10

There's one over the road, we go there occasionally to see what we can get off the shopping list before going further. They also have lots of dog toys that are cheap enough to not get upset when the pups tear them apart lol
