Media.
There are a lot of ways to "do" media in a house. Plex seems popular. Jellyfin, too. In the end they all do vaguely the same thing, it's just a matter of picking the one(s) that will do what you want it to do. I've been a long term Kodi user for TV and Movies, which I...
Jammin’. Jammin’ in two ways.
I was standing right here, in one of my favourite places in South Australia. This is Razorback Lookup in Ikara–Flinders Ranges. Standing right there when my OM-1 jammed. I'd fired off one shot and as I went to wind the camera on, I got partway through the wind then...
2025 Yearly Planner
Want a very plain yearly planner for 2025? Here's one I designed. It's A1 size, but at 300 dpi it's probably fine to go to A0 with it. Don't download the picture - download the PDF below. 300 dpi A1 PDF with embedded fonts can be downloaded here. (Hopefully there...
Typora
It's not new. I'm just late to the party. I love plain text files for documents. They're future-proof, past-proof, and completely platform agnostic. I'm sure someone has written a text editor in Minecraft or something more outrageous. Text editor for Gameboy Colour?...
The Last Minute Adventure Club
I can plan things in advance, but it's not my natural way of doing things. I enjoy spontaneity. The last minute "hey are you up for..." call or message. But it can be a bit unmanageable if you don't have a group of similarly minded people around. This is where the...
First Stickers. They work.
I like that they're ever so slightly smaller than the ones that they're covering, so you can see that they're covering garbage.
First lot of stickers.
I designed some stickers. I posted about them here: Stickers. Two days ago I placed an order with a local print-house and this afternoon they were ready! Some slicing was required because they come 6 to a sheet. But I'm the proud owner of 120 KESAB stickers. Gloss...
Reading Log: All Systems Red
This book came highly recommended by a good friend whose opinions on stuff I generally trust. I mentioned to them that I needed some books for travelling, and they announced that they loved the Murderbot series by Martha Wells. With a lot of planned transit and...
Reading Log: No Way
Frank's back. I guess in many ways he never left. This is the continuation of One Way by Simon Morden. It's going to be hard to talk about this book with out spoiling things about One Way. So if you've not read One Way, and plan to, you might want to turn away now....
Reading Log: One Way
Not what I was expecting. It took me a couple of gos to get stuck in to this. I'm not a voracious reader, and it often takes time for me to get into a book, let alone start one properly. I think maybe I was trying to read it while I was too tired. Once I got over the...
Migrating Ghost
I found the instructions on how to migrate self-hosted Ghost from one host to another quite lacking. It took a lot of tinkering to get it to work properly.
Solstice(ish) Swim
I think this is the 3rd year in a row that I've dragged friends out to swim in the middle of winter. A celebration of the winter solstice. And end to the darkening. The beginnings of the lightening. Optimism. Encouragement. It'd be nice if the weather started to get...
