Mum, I really think you shouldn't go lower than f/4, as dog's feeling very fuzzy.

When I started my engineering degree in Sydney, @iknowthezarbi.bsky.social stayed in Canberra working for six months. I took the train to Canberra every other Friday afternoon, returning Monday for class, and he alternated. It was really wonderful.

You can travel between Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne for as little as $10 on affordable bus Flix – but at what cost?
European budget travel brand FlixBus promises low prices and a better experience. Will it be enough to get Australians off planes and out of their cars?

I'm an RF engineer, and we don't even own a fucking microwave.

Just hit total nerd nirvana. @iknowthezarbi.bsky.social bought me a stand for cook books. I can use it to hold my iPad running a gameboy emulator, playing Tetris using a bluetooth controller while listening to Mike Oldfield via airplay. Oh, and drinking wine. Not sure if the wine helps my scores.

Many years ago I bought a Gameboy Advance, to replace the Gameboy that I basically wore out playing Tetris.

The screen is so awful you can barely see anything in normal lighting, so I only rarely used it.

Today I found a backlit screen that drops in without surgery!

Playing Emu Joust on my FreeBee Microbee compatible.

Excuse the lack of keyboard, and my lack of skill.

Note the use of an iPad as a tape player. I skipped the couple of minutes waiting for it to load, as I know kids these days have zero patience.

@iknowthezarbi.bsky.social really wanted to watch this one at the cinema when it was un-banned. It's the only movie I've ever walked out of the cinema on.

It looks like our little tomato plant is gonna be fine. It had a shaky start in life, but it's really enjoying it's planter and getting watered every day.

Trimming the branches at the bottom has helped heaps.

Max is taking his tomato guarding duties very seriously.

Max and Sandy say the dog park at Aveley is awesome. It's got sniffs, and grass, and bits for digging, and sticks, and heaps of yummy water, and play equipment!

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

CSIRO 350 job cuts a damning indictment on Government priorities, misses 'golden opportunity' on research
The announcement this week that CSIRO are to cut 350 research jobs is another damning indictment on Australia’s ongoing failure to prioritise research and development.

If you're old like me, and Australian like me, you'll remember Microbee computers. Here's my latest Freebee, a Microbee compatible that runs all Microbee software, uses no PLDs, and is completely open-source.

Plus it's smol, on account of chopping the keyboard off.
