I had to stake down the strays paper plates with wooden skewers because of the wind.

Felt like McGyver lol

    Is it too late to tart part in operation UNKAOS? I just bought a new vacuum and it's actually working vs my old one which struggled with... everything.

    *Take not tart ๐Ÿ˜”

    Miniest is on school camp and I've never been separated from her overnight before. I feel a bit lost tbh so I'm stretching and folding sourdough bread dough to keep me occupied. It'll be good for her to have this time to develop as a person, but I miss her so much. She's one of these little people that seem to fill up life. ๐Ÿž๐Ÿž๐Ÿž

    Picked up the laybuy for the kids' birthdays and christmas today. On the way out I went through the self serve and the camera picked up the laybuy in my trolley. So it's good to know that tracking stuff is in use already, if I kept my trolley out of view it wouldn't have seen the stuff still in there.

    Nobody gives me HDs anymore, Wah! No I'm not insomniac and reading old papers for endorphins or some such shite. It didn't work, but revisiting dot matrix fonts is enlightening

    I had some fermentation flies take up residence in my compost bucket and kitchen, so I made a trap for them which has worked very well. I have a jar of drowned flies and haven't seen any flying around the kitchen today. The trap is a funnel on top of a glass jar, and the bait is vinegar, sugar and yeast mixed with water.

    When pushing hard means winning, peace and quiet feel like losing. Itโ€™s been on my mind lately.

    I just saw a bird flying sideways. This could be the basis for a new wind strength scale..

    Why are the new Myki readers so awful? I'd argue them to be worse than even the first-generation readers with a bad read.

    The entire device basically gets locked out on a bad read for about a minute. If your Myki doesn't read properly, or your phone is acting up, a few retries could lock out a big chunk of the station gates.

    The whole myki contract from the first machines has been a clusterfuck awarded to the lowest bidder.

    I worked for a place ages ago that had put in a bid for a decent system but the government wanted to save cash.

    Yeah, it is slowing me down massively each time. I use a card through google wallet and it used to be so smooth. I am hoping when they enable credit cards I can just let it use my main card and leave it at that.

    I blame the weather for how ratty this office is today.

    Though I've also noticed that I'm also reporting how ratty the office is, so maybe it's just a ratty office. I'm the self appointed cheerleader though.

    OK, I'll forgive you. Have a nice breakfast muffin on me ๐Ÿง.

    Akshully humble pie is real - can be spelled umble pie - is a savoury meat pie made mostly with offal (the umbles of a beast are the kidneys, liver and lungs). Done well it's delicious. Eat with sharp pickles on the side and a nice frothy beer or three - breakfast (or dinner) of champions. Close cousin of haggis but with pastry not oats and baked not boiled.

    Well there goes my trip into the city.

    Borderlands 2 and music it is!

    Edit: gym done. Shopping done. Let the nap with rain sounds begin.

    So windy today an orchid plant was blown out of it's pot!

    I saw a pelican fly backward and then give up, turning around and then landing.

    Curse these naps.

    Was late with the antibiotics so gave them right after the midnight medsโ€ฆ bubs threw them right back up so I gave her some anti nausea meds and repeated the dose.

    spoilerDealing with a spilled milky drink on the carpet too. As much as I soak and blot it up I can still smell it -_-

    I wish there was a carpet cleaner that doesnโ€™t absolutely reek of perfume to the point of setting off migraines and causing asthma attacks.

    I use the bacterial enzyme cleaner which is less scented but thatโ€™s more for breaking down pee, and doesnโ€™t do a good job of actually cleaning spills.

    I hate having carpet. If I could go back in time Iโ€™d buy a washable rug and use it to shield.

    The break room at work smells strongly of garlic, so now I'm craving garlic bread.

    Trying to sort computer shit out quick and dirty just to get unstuck.

    spoilerWindows 11 machine is completely full so using a Mac to download the classic Linux Mint and waiting a hundred years for the iso to download so I can sha the damn thing and make a bootable usb drive. The old desktop has been backed up a few weeks ago.

    Tried to drag a bunch of files onto a 32gb usb off Windows machine to free space and keep them safe but thereโ€™s seriously not enough room for all of it so I might get an external drive just for that to have on top of backups. Otherwise if I can get the desktop sorted soon I can just ferry the most important stuff over.

    Then I have to download everything off Flickr and Dropbox and make sure the last gmails get changed over on any platforms theyโ€™re still connected to (or emails theyโ€™re recoveries for).

    Today is going to be very busy so that may have to wait

    Yay the string of numbers matches one of the approved ones :)

    Apparently Iโ€™m ok to skip the authentication of the .txt file so Iโ€™m using balenaEtcher to flash the iso and hopefully all goes well.

    Yay. Welcome (back?) to the Tux team! I realised how many old photos I still have stored on Facebook the other day. I think un-cloud-ifying is going to be one of my long term projects too. So I look forward to hearing how you go.

    Iโ€™m going to have to do it fast because starting from December Iโ€™m going to lose access :(

    Iโ€™ve tried Linux before but not as my main. This is basically to test out and see if I can switch over for most things because I viscerally hate Windows 11

    I've been on linux for years. LibreOffice is prettty good as an MS office replacement. I don't play a lot of PC games so I've never missed that. I reckon you'll be fine.

    Problems might include document compatibility when dealing with organisations and possibly WebEx or Zoom. Iโ€™ll work it all out on this old machine as I get time and energy though. I have a lot of more urgent stuff to do before then. One step at a time

    Thanks. Theyโ€™re actually extremely patchy because Iโ€™m mostly self taught, I can follow curly tutorials and use the command line with a guide but a lot of the fundamentals have been missed
