    I grabbed the essentials at the supermarket and bolted out of there because of these 2 kids, full on screaming. One had climbed to the top of the soft drink aisle shelf and was evading any attempts to get him down. The other had cleared out part of a shelf and ran around to the next aisle and cleared out the other side of the shelf to create a kind of tunnel, through which he also was screaming. One staff member was trying to cajole the kid down off the shelf and he was just laughing and screaming. The other staff all had this painful tight, pinched look on their faces. The noise broke me, and I went to the variety store nearby for a kitchen benchtop storage solution. Came home and made that solution work (looks tidy and organised โœ…) and ate half a packet of Butternut Snaps ๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿผ

    Today I played mini golf in the Flinders St ballroom. It was very cool. Super arty mini golf- for one hole, you put on animal tails and use the tail as your golf club. Very fun.

    It's running for another month or so.

    A friend invited us over for a lovely beach walk and a feast of a dinner with delicious, heavy things. Now trying to resist the food coma or I'll be up and pacing at 3am. Word searches and bright coloured pens for some relaxation time.

    Oh hell yeah. There really wasnโ€™t a lot on Peertube but now I found out about Invidious https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invidious

    I just have to work out how to use GitHub and hope this stays up.

    In addition to my normal purchases, I spent a frankly stupid amount on a fountain pen. Not sorry

    He said Tasmanian blackwood. I have no idea if this is correct, I donโ€™t know from timbers, but he said blackwood

  • Its a fine grained hardwood - very popular in late 1800s for furniture, and again in the 70s & 80s, as both durable and beautiful. Then the supply of that timber (from old growth forests) bottomed out and imports from Indonesia/Malaysia pretty much took over the furniture market. Your pen may well be repurposed timber from old/antique furniture, as new timber of that variety doesn't often come onto the market now, and what can be cut under the current strict licence conditions mostly goes for musical instruments. Treasure it - it's beautiful.

  • Slept pretty well which was nice. Once Iโ€™ve finished with the PT itโ€™s time for another nap and a chill night.

    Next week is interview central so doing fuck all this weekend. I generally get sick of sitting around not being productive after a couple of days so this works for me.

    To market, to market, to buy a fat pig - not the whole pig of course. Just enough for dinner and some leftovers for sandwiches. And a jelly croissant.

    Hooray just ordered the bits for a new 'puter for a DAW.

    Upgrading from an old 2600k lol. That kicked the bucket about a year ago so a good 12 yrs of service. Using a shitty slower (but newer-ish) one since it died. I miss that rig. It became very temperamental, suffered water damage from water cooling mishaps, and spilt wine on it accidentally a few times..

    New one will be quick but it won't have the same battle scars or charm :(

    Fuck yes!!!!! What are you getting and does it have a million gigs of ram lol

    Eee 64gb of ram so look out kontakt! bit of a jump from the 16gb in the old one lol.

    Going for the 9700x. Don't need gfx thankfully. mb just entry level gigabyte eagle ice. Nothing crazy.

    Also have to get a new audio interface as the old RME one is legacy PCI and I think that kicked the bucket too :( Tempted to try and swap out a few caps and try a PCIe -> PCI adapter but honestly I have no idea what I'm doing there.

    9700x with 64gb is unstoppable lol

    You had an internal PCI? I've never seen one in the wild.

    The saffire claret is a really decent interface. Beats out the standard saffire by miles if you don't mind focusrite. But admittedly RME are absolute beasts.

    I'm the same with graphics card I think it's a super old 2070 but I don't game on PC so no great loss considering how expensive new cards are these days.

    Ooh that does look like a good interface. Heard good things about focusrite's drivers too.

    Yea it was an old RME 9632, so stable (and took a bit of the wine I spilt lol, kept working though). I will miss it if I can't give it life again.

    I'm starting to look at the Scarlett 4i4, SSL 2+ mkII or the MOTU M4. The MOTU does have pretty levels leds on the front heh. Bit of a step down from the RME but practicially probably doesn't matter.

    Had a perfectly suburban day today.

    Grocery shop and a browse around local shopping centre. People who don't understand personal space, got hip checked.

    Early afternoon gym session, weights and sauna. Felt amazing.

    Proper afternoon nap.

    Went out for dinner, now keeping my missus awake until our daughter needs a ride home from a party.

    I'm stealing "suburban day" to explain my day to people. My inner city friends wonder about life in the burbs, it's unremarkable but there's a peace to it as well.

    Please use it and get others to as well.

    It's unremarkable but a zen quality to it.

    We make it fun by talking judgemental shit about everyone we see.

    I stepped into tarocash AND Peter Jackson today looking for something.

    Didn't find it but the sales staff looked like aspiring real estate agents.

    Some bunny was buried in his phone and walked into my hip. Took one look up at me and apologized.

    Kept looking over his shoulder when walking away. We stopped and kept looking at him and sipping a coffee. I think he shit his pants.

    You have a much more reasonable op shop than around here lately. Might as well be buying new.
