Heading to The Corner to see Allegaeon tonight. I’ve wanted to see these guys since 2019 when I got into them. I really liked that album and the one from last year.
I also saw Rivers Of Nihil are coming and playing with Psycroptic. Their album The Work is one of my top favourites, I liked their album from last year too.
Tried to defy the gods with the grill + microwave setting on the new microwave. Turns out it won’t cook things in half the time, but maybe it will make sure things like pizza rounders are more consistently cooked on the inside
I don’t mean there’s a direct link between the social media ban and attacks like these, more that so much effort is spent legislating kids out of public life instead of finding ways to engage with them
Some teenagers beat up and actually killed a guy at our local train station. Of course all the Facebook comments are about machetes, making sure they get tried as adults, and whether they’re out on bail already.
I’d like to know whether the attack was random or if they knew the guy. We’ve almost made it illegal for kids to be online or outside, so what do people expect them to do? The only people who care about what kids are up to are people who hate them and don’t want to see kids anywhere. If only we had some larger social project kids could feel like a part of
Borrowed a stapler removler from a woman’s desk at work because I have some staplers to removle
AnySoftKeyboard is working now. I was playing with the settings, it crashed, and now it works
Work has become such a busy time for me before a long weekend or holiday. Not that it’s being forced on me, I’ve just figured out it’s a good opportunity for us to have things ready agrees of time. Pump the budget a bit and I get plenty of interaction and leads
Went to a market with my kids last weekend and both of them spent the whole time tucking into the grapes we bought
I want to like AnySoftKeyboard but it makes it hard. The app’s menus are a mess and it has looked and felt different on every phone I’ve used it on. Right now on the vacuum phone the themes and suggestions only show up in some apps and I have to manually type everything out the rest of the time. Who knew creating a keyboard app with swipe was so hard?
I came in at lunchtime and my laptop still isn’t ready so I’m just chilling.
WTF, I love Windows now? (When it’s on someone else’s computer at least)
Sometimes being self taught is worse up front because there are so many bad habits to break
Vacuum cleaner has arrived as well I bought it for my kids to play with, aren’t they lucky I’d upgrade my whole phone just to get them a new toy?
Yep, so now it’s home time and late start tomorrow
Looks like my work laptop has won the Windows 11 brick lottery
The accessories you can get for it certainly do
Coming at you from the new vacuum cleaner phone
Got a new phone I’m setting up. I didn’t intend on getting a new phone now but Xiaomi had this deal where you could get one of their hadnheld vacuum cleaners for $1 if you bought the phone so I bit the bullet.
It actually works out for me because I was intending to buy that exact model of vacuum cleaner. It’s going to be half actual vacuum and half toy for the kids.
I notice you’re playing a bit of Arc Raiders. It was broken and unplayable on Mint for me, even though I heard it’s meant to run well on Linux. I enjoyed playing the server slam and not being able to run it on Linux has been one thing putting me off getting it. That and all the time I’ve been putting into Nightreign of course, I probably only have space in my life for one extraction style game.
You had to make the right move for yourself. I see the people who do customer service here and I couldn’t do it. The day is too structured and rigid for me, and people don’t realise how exhausting being on the phone can be. You’ve done an amazing job sticking it out for as long as you have
An unofficial psycroptic show at deathfest tonight. Early in the night I noticed a guitarist had a nice multiscale guitar and realised the Haley brothers were playing with another band.
Abramelin, an Australian deathmetal group from way back Matt Haley must be associated with somehow.
They could have damn near headlined the show with Psycroptic but they decided to play as an obscure metal band that went 20 years without putting out an album at one point
