I don’t need Hindenburg Journalist PRO but I want it. For my hobbyist needs though, price puts me right off.
Some great insight into social media models on this episode from @martinfeld overcast.fm
Keep Practising: 08 - Joe from NBL Pocket Podcast
Thursday, June 11, 2020
I am joined by special guest Joe, host of the NBL Pocket Podcast. We talk about Joe’s experience making the podcast that is focused on the Australian National Basketball League. We discuss favourite players and coaches, his best interviews, the NBL product today, and how the league engages with its fan base. We also consider what makes for a quality NBL TV experience.
This is me.
I signed on as a Patreon of The Unmade Podcast. As I disassociate from big social media I recognise that direct financial relationships between creators and their audience is the best model.

I had to visit the dentist today because of a sore gum. Anaesthetic injection and some digging around saw the job done. Now it hurts more than when I went in!
It was brilliant to be welcomed as a guest by @martinfeld on his Lounge Ruminator podcast. We dived into our respective histories of computing. So much fun. feldnotes.com
I feel sad for my American friends, who are experiencing so many civic challenges. Change the leader; change the country.
The latest Lounge Ruminator podcast by @martinfeld is a good one. I agree that being still does result in strange looks from others.
My son David’s eyes lit up when he heard his own voice introduce this podcast. I’m proud to be a patr(e)on of the Like You: Mindfulness for Kids podcast.
Keep Practising: S01, E07 - The Last Dance

Keep Practising: S01, E07 - The Last Dance. I give my thoughts on “The Last Dance”, and remember the time that I met Phil Jackson and Luc Longley. I celebrate the big news from the NBL, and specifically the Perth Wildcats. In Nerd Corner this week, I’ve been improving my webcam setup and installing Windows on my iMac.
Given all the lockdown protocols how the heck have I caught a cold? I feel terrible.
My Story of Installing Windows with Boot Camp on an External SSD
Tuesday, May 26, 2020
The developers of Civilization 6 - and specifically Aspyr who are responsible for the Mac port - have cost me time and money, but have provided me with a sense of satisfaction from being able to complete a new IT project. The latest update to the Civ franchise was deployed to the PC version of the game but not macOS (or Linux). As a result when I tried to play an online game with my friends, no dice.
In order to play online Civilization 6 with my mates today I’ve had to install BootCamp, install Windows 10, then install Steam and the game. All because the Civ developers have updated the PC version and not the Mac so they are out of sync and won’t talk to each other.
