On Christmas Day we went to the beach and tried to dam up the stream, just like when we were kids! 😁

neb: Trying to even up the score for the Smile thread

It did start 18 months behind the annoy thread, so a little bit of catching up to do!

My small fluffy dog, who has been a bit off-colour for the last couple of days, chilling out like he hasn't a care in the world today...after keeping the rest of us up for two nights in a row.

Happiest little floof in the world.

I am glad to have banned all this chatty "printer phones home" stuff from my network. Anything that is not an electronic measuring device from HP (for which they were once famous) is banned from my home for data protection reasons.

Not sure if it counts but digging up songs from my yoof (late 70's early 80's) and using it as excuse to say modern music is crap, not like the good old days, when I were a lad...

Listening to the Specials - Ghost Town at the mo.

“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.” -John Kenneth Galbraith

Finding miss 9 in the spare bed this morning with her iPad. Checking screen time she was on her iPad until 6am. She’s in for a bad time, especially when she has to wake up at 6am tomorrow for school.

I bought a portable P-208II document scanner with USB2 last week and managed to integrate it wirelessly and for different OS into the network. Yay! 😀

(My private plan, already advanced for a few months, is to reduce the remaining file folders to just 3 file folders of mandatory original documents. The rest is electronically archived and backed up with my workflow in an audit-proof manner with a DMS).

Violinist Ray Chen, while performing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, breaks a string, calmly swaps the violin with the concertmaster behind him, and keeps playing as if nothing had happened. In the background you can then see the concertmaster swapping violins with musicians further back.

Someone who ran a fake Covid disinformation page on Facebook.

And in case someone thinks that's a typo, it's a Facebook page claiming to be a Covid disinformation page that actually contains correct information. Some quotes:

The only way to access [Lynda Wharton's Covid disinformation forum The Health Forum NZ] is to have the URL and request membership. Fortunately, I discovered this URL circulating on a local white supremacist’s telegram account.

Gosh, who would have thought there'd be a connection like that?

Realising that many of the Health Forum NZ’s members lacked the digital literacy and critical thinking to make the distinction between real and fake sources of information, I thought it would be interesting to make a public page that is identical to the private group in name and imagery — but actually posts pro-vaccine information from reputable sources.

Muahahahaha!

Ah, I've hit the quote limit... well, read the full article yourself.

Beautiful stuff. Brilliant.

This glorious summer weather we're getting over this Christmas/New Year break. (I'm in Wellington, it tends to be rather variable this time of year usually.)

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.
