  Cheap mobile data hack for Aussies. This is how I use my phone while travelling, and I just realised it'll be cheaper to continue doing this when I'm back home than it will be to get a 'proper' Aussie mobile plan. 1. You need an Aussie mobile service. This is your baseline: this keeps your number active. Get an Aldi mobile PAYG plan, top up with $15, it lasts a year. Turn off mobile data on this line. 2. For data, use an eSIM service. Redteago will give you 1GB...

  Spending time anywhere else in the world makes you particularly sad as to the state of Australian high-speed railway. In that, we don't have any, and we never will. Until some government has the guts to say, fuck it, and buy a bunch of land, and just push through a bunch of environmental 'concerns', we're just never getting this. In a country as large and with as much land as ours, it's … pathetic. It's truly pathetic. I say this as someone who h...

  Realisation: in the field of 'task management' (a.k.a. getting stuff done), there are two distinct classes of decision to be made. First is the decision of how and where to file this 'task'. You've had _some idea_. Is it a critical task that must be done by a date? Is it a vague idea that you might like to explore one day? Or is it something in between? This decision – where to put this thing – is entirely separate from the second decision. Which is, wha...

  ANZ would like me to 'reverify' my personal details for an account that I've held for 22 years. Just in case they're wrong, y'know? They'd like me to upload my drivers licence and/or passport and/or so on. 1. I don't think I'll bother. 2. I genuinely think this should be illegal. I worked in this industry. I know how good we are at keeping this data secure. Adorably, their service is called – I'm not making this up – &amp...

  As a kid I was fascinated by the paranormal. I got those weekly magazines that you kept in a binder. Bigfoot, UFOs, and the holy grail: telekinesis. In 1994 I found myself on the network at the University of York. In those days you could `telnet` to any machine on campus – including the nice SGI workstations in the special CompSci room – and `reboot now`. Which we did, cruelly, because we were 18. (There was one girl who would lose her shit in the room when it happened to her. So of course we&a...

  Received an email from Netlify this morning that I'll quote in its entirety. > Subject: Describe your app. The database provisions itself. > Hi Johnny, > You can now build a full app, with a real database, in one prompt. > Netlify Database is live. When you describe your app to the Agent Runner, it detects that you need to store data and sets up the database automatically. No setup steps. No infrastructure decisions. You describe what you want; it wires every...

  A realisation about saving things ‘for later’. In this case it’s bookmarks related to web design. Specifically, CSS styles for printing things. I found this wonderful thing. https://pagedjs.org So let’s say I just add that as a bookmark. Which I did. Now what? At what point does future me think, oh, that lovely thing about printing and CSS, that’s right, I saved that bookmark. I’ll go and look at that now. 1/🧵
