Finished reading: Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami 📚 Probably one of the weirder books I’ve read. Entirely compelling, but I’m not sure I comprehend what I read.
Last night amongst my many vivid dreams, I met Linus Torvalds. I thanked him for his work and the contribution to society that Linux has been. Then I went and rode an elevator that went sideways instead of up and down.
Surely now I own all the Notes apps.
I listened to E70 of @hemisphericviews tonight. So cute to hear my own son from an earlier time. “Be more negative!”
We are aware that enshittification is a big deal in the tech industry. With the latest apparently vindictive moves by Apple against Epic, is the great fruit company now on the fast track to its own enshittification? Hubris is at an all-time high.
Good grief, parenting a kid with autism can be hard. 🪫🧩
I’m trying Alfred instead of Launchbar. I keep getting stuck. Today, I couldn’t get an equivalent of Launchbar’s “Instant Send” up and running. Why am I doing this to myself?
I’m not built for humidity. The last few days in Perth have featured this weather condition, and I’m not coping well. I have finishing mopping my floors, and now I’m the one who is mopping wet. 😰
My Day One journal consists of 2,597 entries. Of those, 418 are Instagram imports, leaving 2,179 “proper” entries. The oldest entry is an Instagram import from 5 November 2011. My first genuine entry was on 4 August 2012. I’ve journaled on 1,808 days since then.
Finished the show One Day and feel sad. It’s an impactful series. 📺
I’m watching the 46th season of Survivor. That is crazy! 📺
Refreshed my site’s Bookshelf page and simplified my navigation bar.
One of those days where I wake up at 4:15am. An hour later now and I feel tired but know I’m not going back to sleep. Here we go then. Bring it on, Monday.
The Lost Daughter, 2021 - ★★½

Children really can be that annoying.
The Sad State of Fibre Internet in Australia
Saturday, February 24, 2024
A couple of days ago I got fibre to the home installed (finally). Australia’s broadband rollout is a decades-long case study in political fuckery. Previously I was on “Fibre to the Node” which used fibre to the end of the street, then copper from that street node to my home. Now I have fibre all the way to my home, which is great, but the plans offered are still depressing.
Proud of my Podcast Productions
Friday, February 23, 2024
Several years ago I became interested in creating podcasts. As an early adopter, I’d listened to them for years. I decided I finally wanted to try the creation side of the equation. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved since that decision. Yesterday, two podcasts of mine were released on the same day. They show two different aspects of my personality and interests. I am incredibly proud of these latest episodes, but also the incredible run of consistent podcast creation I have achieved over the past few years.
Zoolander, 2001 - ★★★★
Friday, February 23, 2024
I watch this film now and struggle to identify the cameos. Not all careers kick on, I suppose.
Bob Marley: One Love, 2024 - ★★★½
Tuesday, February 20, 2024
I was unaware of the Bob Marley story and this clued me in well. Actors of course were more attractive than the actual people.
Windfall, 2022 - ★★★
Sunday, February 18, 2024
A well-acted kooky thriller.
I’m binge watching S4 of For All Mankind. I didn’t have “labour dispute and unionisation on my bingo card of topics. Was this show written around the time of the Hollywood Writers’ Strike? 📺
