Spent the last couple of days putting lighting in the garden… and I’m pretty happy with how it looks 🤩
A garden at dusk. There is a red pergola lit up with festoon lights and various pathways also have white light on them. To the right of the picture there is a garden screen illuminated with coloured light (purple in this case).

A bit of calm among the colossal enshitification occurring around us.
A view across a mirror calm ocean pool in Kiama, Australia. There is a clear blue sky and some trees in the distance. The water is so clear you can see the rocks at the bottom of the pool.

Absolutely blown away at how good the aurora is looking at the moment, just south of Kiama in Australia.

If you happened to be awake around 02:46:45 early Saturday morning and were looking south, you would have seen a bright fireball over our city!

You can watch the 10s video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HSe...

Footage from WebCamSydney

A view of Sydney harbour and the city of Sydney at night time. The buildings and the harbour bridge are illuminated with city lights. On the right, a large fireball is occurring in the sky as the meteor plunges through the atmosphere.

Happy St Patrick’s Day ☘️
A pint of Guinness (it’s actually the no alcohol 0.0 which is astonishingly good).

Have some beach and blue sky… Bluesky 🙂
A beach in Australia. The blue sky has a few little fluffy clouds (Orb ear worms). The sky is reflected in water on the sand.

Hello moon 🌕
The moon, poking out from behind some whispy clouds over the ocean. The last hint of sunset gives the sky a pink tinge. The are some silhouetted trees in the foreground.

Folks I’m hiring a principle eng at my company. Web stuff is important and we do a lot of #Shopify stuff but I would LOVE someone with an interest in #rust (either you’re already building it or have an interest in learning it) in Australia or New Zealand.

The work is super exciting.

Just found my old cycling gloves from 1990. I was a big fan of the Z Peugeot team (had the full outfit but the rest has long gone). 🚴
A racing cycling glove. It is light blue and has a bright pink Z exploding from the middle with a cartoony speed cloud. There are a couple of spots of dried blood from an accident I had in the Cornish lanes riding home from school 🤣
