Came through the storm just fine aside from being woken up at 2:30 and 4:30. Cats are fine, in fact Sammi is back to her old self or nearly so (she hasn't been too hungry since the scan).
Just about to go for a dental appointment - wish me luck with the drive!
Trying to get through first level of organisations these days is truly excruciating. The enshittification of everything is real.
Break time at last!
Unexpected but got a nice swirly pattern in my coffee today.
Things were ok overnight? Hopefully we donβt get hit by it after saying that.
There's a game called "my tamagotchi forever" on ios and Android. Huge nostalgia hit!
So I noticed a company had put up a poorly redacted screenshot of a customer order, so basically they just gave away a personβs name, email address and physical address on Instagram.
What would you do?
Inform the victim
Inform the vendor
Contact OAIC
Email 131444
I remember I had some compliance training on this recently. Maybe start with informing the vendor and if you don't like their response, go to the victim and the OAIC
I have the central heating on, and I'm jumping slightly each time it turns itself on again. I may be a touch on edge.
Another front of big wind on the way around 11 apparently.
I find wind gusts fascinating. The giant tumble dryer decides what stays and what gets ripped up. Big gum tree you're getting uprooted um your friend there can stay. Rusty tin shed you're on your last warning this time but I'm gonna shower you with palm tree fronds from somebody elses yard. Kids trike I'm gonna help you along there.
Of course I don't like that it can be frightening or that people can get hurt or the cost of destruction.
I got back home with my dental x-ray and decided to take a peek. Discovered an x-ray with more teeth than I actually have, in much better condition. Unfortunately they were unable to swap my teeth to match the x-ray, so I had to drive back and pick up the right x-ray instead. I should probably be annoyed at the waste of time, but I'm too busy being relieved that I discovered the error before my dental appointment tomorrow.
Today's adventure:
Crawled under the house and ran some Ethernet cables. Super janky hard wiring setup, the profs and assorted nerds that know what they're doing will probably yell at me for how I did it. I just ran 2 Ethernet cables from the router out the wall, under the house, and into a hole in the wall in both my bedrooms. Then joined them into shielded ethernet couplers, and that's my new receptacle. Also did a cable between my two rooms, in case I ever do a NAS (that'll live in my spare room)
This is a crude and simplified doodle of what I did:
Mostly tested, both the router main cables work, the LAN cable between the two rooms won't be tested until tonight or tomorrow.
I am absolutely fucking filthy though, completely head to toe in mud. Literally. There's mud in my hair, and my shoes. I need a good shower
The weather made for an interesting trip outdoors for errands
and no, I haven't taken my coat to the opshop yet so it's not my fault this time
This time I think it was @wscholermann, who hung out his washing to dry. Brave man, if a tad bit over optimistic.
