Strange World, 2022 - ★★½
Wednesday, December 28, 2022
A story of climate change wrapped up in some impressive animation and characters that I didn’t warm to.
Die Hard, 1988 - ★★★★½
Saturday, December 24, 2022
Now I have a 64-bit computer. Ho Ho Ho.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, 1992 - ★★½
Saturday, December 24, 2022
1992 really seems a different era, back when you could board a plane because you assumed your parents were on it. Slapstick cruelty is still fun, though.
Books of 2022

I’ve not done so great on book reading this year. The list looks a little thin!
Oiling the Deck
Tuesday, December 20, 2022
There are some household jobs that I procrastinate over. Oiling the deck is a new one I can add to the list. Our deck was installed a couple of years ago as part of a backyard renovation. I knew at the time this would be a necessary maintenance job that I would despise. I dutifully entered it into OmniFocus as a task for the future. That OmniFocus task has been deferred for about 9 months.
You Always Own Your Blog
Sunday, December 18, 2022
My Blog, My Home - Geoff Graham: That’s why I love my website. It’s apolitical. It can’t be bought by a billionaire (maybe). It doesn’t care when I last logged in. It doesn’t push me to gain an audience and could care less if I have a one or not. And the feed is spot-free of algorithms and sponsored content. But it’s always ready for me to say something if I need to.
Swearing in of Hannah Beazley MLA as Parliamentary Secretary
Saturday, December 17, 2022
Earlier I posted how happy I was that my wife, Hannah Beazley MLA had been made Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Emergency Services; Innovation and the Digital Economy; Medical Research; Volunteering, within the WA State Government. On 14 December, 2022, Hannah was officially sworn in by the Governor. It was fantastic to share the experience with her, and also with her Dad, former Governor of WA, Hon. Kim Beazley AC.

My 11 year old kid woke me up to watch the World Cup (3am). It’s half time and I might go back to bed. ⚽️

Quality Tech Support from Indie Mac Developers
Tuesday, December 13, 2022
How good is the Mac indie developer community? Caddyshack Good GIFfrom Caddyshack GIFs I have been a long-time user of the SearchLink service developed by Brett Terpstra. I use it so regularly that I have it tied to a button on my Stream Deck, as well as keyboard shortcut, ⌃ + ⌘ + L. Last night I attempted to use SearchLink while typing in the all new MarsEdit 5. Instead of it working as it always has, I received a confounding error:
I got a new pair of glasses a couple of days ago. They’re playing havoc with the muscles of my left eye. It’s early so I guess I wait a few more days to see if I become accustomed. This is the worst part of getting new glasses.
I taught Benji how sports brackets work. Now he is building his own World Cup version. 😍🥰🤩⚽️
Elvis, 2022 - ★★★½

A wonderful telling of the bastardry of Colonel Parker.
I’ve disabled cross-posting from micro.blog to mastodon. Going to try letting each be its own thing.
Ferrite 3
Friday, December 9, 2022
Ferrite 3: Ferrite 3 offers an enhanced, modernised UI all across the app. I couldn’t edit Hemispheric Views without Ferrite. Believe me, I tried. If Ferrite wasn’t available, I’m not sure our podcast would be either. Version 3 is an insta-upgrade for me. While it has a list of new features, the faster playback speeds are the real seller.
On one of Jack Baty’s blogs, I saw a reference to neofetch.
It doesn’t do a lot, but it looks pretty. I’ve run it on my three machines:
iMac
MacBook Air
Mac mini
