haha, my $3.79 set of mini tools doesn't actually contain the T4 torx bit it says it does, only T5 and up

2023/0219/2336 – ajft, we've made it easy to get back on Instagram
Hi ajft, Sorry to hear you’re having trouble logging into Instagram. We got a message that you forgot your password. If this was you, you can get right back into your account or reset your password now.The three of us went on an after dinner walk around the block, checking out the Mount Waverley architecture, old and new
There are some absolutely huge houses built on some blocks now, and to me some of them are absolutely hideous, all massive box with a stick-on facade from a selection, plastic grass, huge garage, not my style at all
Day 1150 ⛅ hot creek commute
Daily #cycling photos; riding homealong the creek as the cool change came through, 38.6°C max., dropped to 31.2°C at home
leaving work at 3.30pm to optimize riding home in the hottest part of the day… or, because I must meet with the builder & electrician

MyFlickrYear2022
Annual infographic roundup from flickr of last year’s activity for my account. Amusing to see that my “most faved” photo received one fave, digging into it, looks as though I got around 60 faves over the year, so that must have been for 60 photos
MyFlickrYear2022 by the numbers. My most popular photo of 2022.
I have harvested the second tomato! Fingers crossed that the weather stays warm for long enough that the rest ripen up

Backlog of blog posts complete, I've filled in from [2022-12-23 Fri] to today
With a Christmas break away interstate, then trips to the coast and mountains in January, I ended up with a few too many holes to want to start publishing current posts without filling in older ones. So here they all arecolour starting to appear in some of the tomatoes and all the plants have collapsed as our stakes are too slender and soil too shallow

unintended security consequences
I used to always hit the screenlock on my mac as soon as I walked away, even if only for a minute or two. Then the security policies changed and we have to use the VPN for far more systems … but the VPN times out and disconnects if the screen is locked, which then needs account name, password, 2FA to reconnect. As a result, now I tend to leave my screen unlocked when I walk away for a few minutes

Ugh! OK, which idiot thought he'd disabled his alarm after last Saturdy's 3.30am wakeup call for the Alpine Classic… and just got woken as a result?
Aha! Solved the "NAS won't turn on" … I couldn't find the power switch
Well that is a bit embarassing, I thought it was broken, but no, the power switch is hidden on the side and hard to see due to where the NAS is sitting at the back of the desk. Plugged it back in and switched it on. Last message is that it automatically shutdown because disk 4 overheated and got to 61°C

…The Owner
There’s not much more I can add to who I am.
…The Site
Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…
I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.
Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.
Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
