This dry heat is gorgeous actually. I've been sitting outside all day and it's real nice.
#Brisbane
Graph shows a top of 85% humidity yesterday, dropping throughout the day to 27 now.

Got some cuttings going
Pieces of a purple and green inchplant held up by a little green silicone man, ends dangling in a lovely green planted fish tank. Very green.

Sunset, earlier
#Brisbane
Reddacliff Place at sunset. A wide angle lens shows buildings towing into the sky, and a cloudless sunset fading from red, orange, purple and blue A zoom lens slot down Victoria bridge. People and buses are crossing under a fierce orange sky. The river underneath reflects the orange, along with the vivid blue lights lighting up the bridge.

I made a cute email subscribe box and every so often I'll go back and sign up again just to watch it animate.

This is my parents internet connection on the NBN, because the property developer installed copper even as fibre was being rolled out everywhere else. Just bonkers.

This article says there's no good fix: stripearmy.medium.com/ios-26-0-be-... (thanks @tuppaware.bsky.social)

Maybe the best workaround is body{height:100vh;overflow:auto} which gives you this.
The page ends at the top of the browser chrome, and does not scroll underneath. The liquid glass sits atop a black background.

Looks like Apple has broken things again with iOS 26. Does anyone know offhand how to work around the fact that 100vh is no longer 100% of the view height? Is there another unit or something?

The iOS simulator showing an article. The background is 100vh high, and goes most of the way down the screen, but there's maybe a centimetre of black space under the address bar that's not covered.

Rocking Horse didn't have this in stock when it came out. I sent an email hassling them but ended up taking my sweet time to pick it up anyway. New Garbage. 's pretty good. #LaterGram #NowListening
A digipak of Garbage - Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, with a Rocking Horse Records sticker on it for $34.95. In the blurry background we're in Brisbane City waiting for the CityGlider to take us home.

Got this in the mail today and there is a secret track zero on the physical version and it's hilarious I think? But I can totally see why it's not on streaming. “There's a new lesbian in town” 😆

Was this a business?
A little caller card from the phone app, outgoing call at 0612 today, to Public Toilet. Google asks in earnest, "was this a business?"

Boo, CSS! Boo!
Concatenation (is not possible) In CSS preprocessors such as Sass 7, it is possible to use nesting to join strings to create new classes. This is common in CSS methodologies such as BEM. .component { &__child-element { } /* In Sass this becomes */ .component__child-element { } Warning: This is not possible in CSS nesting: when a combinator is not used, the nested selector is treated as a type selector. Allowing concatenation would break this.

Can I derail the chat for a moment to spread the good word of Kmart $6 microwaveable toastie maker? Genuinely one of my favourite things of late https://www.kmart.com.au/product/microwave-toastie-maker-green-43379026/ #food #yum
It's two metal plates inside of a green silicone housing that clip together to hold a sandwich A ham cheese and tomato toastie cut into triangles with lush grill marks and perfect maillard crispy bits on the outside. Yes please!

Really annoying bug in Firefox on iOS. The `vh` unit isn't stable when the address bar disappears, so any page that uses it to determine the height of content will jump around when it appears/disappears.

Okay yeah, pretty big emergency services response at the construction site across the road.
Police and fire vehicles parked in front of a big thing of scaffolding. It's pitch black, save for the emergency lights

Chucked some analytics on and discovered one of my little web tools has a small, but seemingly very intense userbase. I should probably update it at some point.

Just added a new viz type to the airplane heatmap. Easier to follow individual flights, and differentiate helicopters. Bit of fun: https://womo-flight-tracker.kyd.au/#date=2025-08-15&viz=scribbles

A map of Brisbane with a bunch of red lines indicating flight paths, swirling out from the various airports and crisscrossing all over the place. It's South Brisbane, with hundreds of red lines running across it from Brisbane Airport
