Had our last night out at Onzieme tonight, which is about to close. Portia’s Place, an institution since I first started working in Kingston 20 years ago, is also closing. Sad to witness Kingston’s culinary decline. #canberra

Was doing some research that involved reading some journal articles and an essential step is now: was this published before AI slop became a thing? (This one is from 2008, so probably factual.)

The people in the queue in front of me at the coffee shop have ordered 13 coffees.

Small keyboards are such a small niche that I feel like every time a 40s/split custom keycap set comes out I should buy it just to support it, but this one really doesn’t grab me, sadly. https://www.keebzncables.com/products/dss-distortion

I took my old camera, a Panasonic LUMIX GF1 with a 20mm pancake prime, down to the beach the other week. I love the photos this thing produces. So much nicer than the iPhone.

The illustrations in Australian Standards are almost universally awful, but the stick figures in AS/NZ 1891.4 (Personal equipment for work at height) are actually quite cute.

Discovered tonight while I was out on a training exercise that the enormous 5000mAh battery in my head torch does not, in fact, last forever.

If you have not seen Wargames, you absolutely should. Holds up well (as a movie; maybe not the technology so much), all these years later. Currently free on YouTube. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/950868

Having read/followed MacStories since back when it was actually about Macs, and occasionally being a paying subscriber, I think it’s time to unfollow their accounts and feeds. They’re basically all AI all the time now, and it’s just tedious and boring.

Having spent most of the last couple of days out at the Canberra Show for work, I would recommend that if you want to see the show but don’t like crowds, go in the morning, or on Friday, and particularly Friday morning. The Friday thing isn’t useful this year, of course, but it might be useful next year. Just be aware if you’re going for the rides, a lot of them don’t seem to operate early on Friday (you could conceivably get a ride all to yourself if you time it right on the Friday).

We have a tree just outside our back door that produces “berries” that the sulphur-crested cockatoos seem to love, so all day this time of year the cockies sit in the tree clipping off branches and dropping shit all over our back deck.

My car has a software update available which is basically “bug fixes and performance enhancements” but after iOS 26 and Liquid Glass I’m reluctant to just hit the update button these days.

Caught the new Flix bus from Canberra to Sydney and back this weekend. It was fine. They advertise Wifi but it was pretty bad, IME. Seats were comfortable enough. The round trip was about $600 less than it would have been to fly, so I think it was reasonable for what I paid.

Had a lovely evening doing dinner and a show with @virtualwolf@toot.virtualwolf.org tonight.
