Slash pages are common pages you can add to your website, usually with a standard, root-level slug like
/now,/about, or/uses.
I’m particularly partial to /defaults and /save
I’m proud to be the commentator of the Perth Redbacks NBL1 team who is smashing out these numbers!
🔗 My Podcast History • Robb Knight
Now I’m mostly listening to a handful Relay shows like Connected, Rec Diffs, and Ungeniused plus Hemispheric Views, ATP, and Really Specific Stories.
I’m not going to lie. It’s pretty cool to have my podcast mentioned in the same breath as some of these big names. Thanks Robb!

That was weird but fun, and slightly confusing.
I’ve woken at 4am and stayed that way. Cool!
Even on the hard days, and facing hard times, it’s healthy to find the fun.
The Talented Mr. Ripley, 1999 - ★½
Wednesday, May 8, 2024
After watching the TV series Ripley, this didn’t hold up.
The one thing I want to buy after the announcement of new iPads? A replacement battery for my existing iPad Pro (3rd gen).
Our pal @rknightuk has knocked this one out of the park. We talked albums on Hemispheric Views E110. Now Robb has built a replica-iTunes to catalogue responses from listeners. It’s incredible.
I’ve been in Epic Games account v Microsoft Xbox account hell for the past hour.
I’ve completed the first Chapter of the Johnny Decimal Workshop. This is a pre-recorded video training course that has excellent production values. If you want to get organised, I highly recommend it.
In my happy place commentating NBL1 basketball. 🏀

Poignant, sad, confusing. In equal measures.
Mornings of Reading are a Blessed Treasure
Thursday, April 25, 2024
A good reading session will take me on a journey. Often the start will come as a surprise, and will take me on a voyage to an unknown destination. Along the way, my mind will be engaged, interested, and challenged. Today, I’ve had one of those mornings. Here is some of what I found, and some of the most captivating excerpts from them. I invite you to come with me on my reading adventure.
Late-Stage Capitalism & Housing Supply in Australia
Wednesday, April 24, 2024
Late-stage capitalism is destroying a basic human right - being able to live in a house - as housing affordability for renting and buying across Australia has been smashed in recent years. A report produced by Anglicare Australia highlights with cold hard facts something that is already clear in the community: Australian housing is unaffordable. I note a few quotes from ABC News’ story covering the release of the paper that highlight the challenge facing our nation.
I swear my Roomba stalks me. Whichever room I move to, sure enough, Roomba soon turns up.
Domain transfers from Hover to Porkbun are in progress.
Reviewing my Backups
Sunday, April 21, 2024
I identified that my formerly robust system of data backups, particularly for photos, was no longer great. A combination of frugality and simplification had gone too far. Some time ago I deleted my Backblaze account. Recently I deleted my Flickr account. That left me only with iCloud Photos, which is a sync service and not a true backup. This doesn’t protect my old Lightroom .dng files, nor anything else that isn’t a photo.
