This TAFE course seems pretty fun. The wifi signal down this end of the house is abysmal though, and because the repeater I had laying around needs LoS to the router, it doesn't actually help at all.
I was meant to do a janky under house ethernet setup today but the person I had convinced to crawl into the spiders lair (aka under the house) is sick. As soon as I do I swear I'm setting up a janky mesh network
Anyway the course seems nice. I like the diversity. There's more people around my age than I thought there'd be, as well as a few older people. The trainer gives off nice but stern aunty vibes too, but seems sweet
Also also, every time I have to meet new people, I'm always astounded by how close my mental pictures are. Just through 1-2 emails and their name and role, I can usually figure out what they'll look like before I ever actually meet them. It's like a party trick at this point
Hire a cable cat?
LOL that's hilarious. There is actually that stray cat that everyone thinks is a massive chonker, but is actually just really floofy. It seems happy to go wherever if there's a bit of ham involved, maybe that's a solid idea!
I just finished. It was nice. I still don't really know wtaf I'm doing, and feel rather out of place, but there's a bit of an uncontrollable smile on my face at the moment
Edit: they also seem to have some support services available. Obviously I've never studied anywhere else, so have no frame of reference to compare it to, but I booked in a video call with someone to learn how to use the LMS thingy (it is very janky and not at all intuitive)
