Reading Log – Universal Harvester
I enjoy playing songs by The Mountain Goats. I enjoy listening to songs by The Mountain Goats. The songs are often deep, and dark, and touch on subjects that most of us have faced, but don't talk about. Universal Harvester is by John Darnielle. The same John Darnielle...
Reading Log – Foundation – Unfinished
Foundation was slow. A lot of dull dialogue. Really not much happening. I'm hoping someone will set me straight, and explain to me what I was missing while reading this novel. Anyway - I didn't finish it. I don't often give up on books, but this one I had to.
Password Enterer
We're all told to have strong passwords for everything. Long, good, complicated passwords with symbols, numbers, capital letters. Passwords that are a pain to enter without a passwords manager, in essence. Because password managers exist, that's all good for nearly...
Dog walk after burn-off
At the end of April (2022) there was a burn-off in Gandy's Gully. A few weeks after, I walked through with Bear and took some photos. I was surprised to find some trees still smouldering. I heard that the burn-off got a bit hotter than expected thanks to a surprise...
XL biking Kickstarter
Every body is a cycling body. "Every body is a cycling body." The benefits of bike riding are enormous. I rely on it pretty heavily for the health and fitness benefits, along with the mental health benefits. BetterHealth, a branch of the Victorian Government, lists...
Pioneer Women’s Trail
If you're looking for a moderately long hike with gorgeous views that's also very dogs-off-lead friendly, give the Pioneer Women's Trail from Beaumont up to Mt. Osmond a go. It's a winding 7.2 km out-and-back walk with about 180 metres of elevation change. At a brisk...
Reading Log – Foundation
This is going to look like it's a New Year's Resolution thing, but it isn't. I'm currently reading Foundation, by Isaac Asimov. I was lead to it, maybe embarrassingly, by a mention in the previous novel I read: The One Impossible Labyrinth by Matthew Reilly. Would I...

Medium Format Scanning
Finished Product I've been meaning to building a medium format scanner for a while now. I had a dodgily cobbled together one that was difficult to use, and because things didn't quite line up, the backlighting was quite uneven. I woke up with the solution just the...
Wienerbr(ö|ø)d – Attempt #4
I remembered. Into the fridge every two turns. Unfortunately, because I followed the recipe (now edited) in my previous attempt, I screwed up the ratios and had to kinda wing it. I baked at 180°C, which seemed pretty good. Things to research for next time(s): Do I...
