Being reminded this morning from my daughter, during a big meeting this morning that "no matter what happens, at least your not dead"

small people put things into perspective!

We went to a rare-breed chicken auction yesterday. Very "interesting" assembly of people there, many looked like they were stars of the local movie "Pecking Order", probably because they were.

Despite wishful thinking that unlike them - we're pretty regular folks, we left the place with two chickens in a cardboard box and a silly sign to affix to the henhouse.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

My Constant Vigil UPS. I am on battery power today as road work is being done. It just works, as does my fully-charged laptop. Bring on the apocalypse!

The good of the bad: Due to the corona virus, it seems there will be plenty of time to proceed with my IoT projects and server re-configuration for the next weeks when staying at home :-)

- NET: FTTH, OPNsense, 10G backbone, GWN APs, ipPBX
- SRV: 12 RU HA server cluster, 0.1 PB storage on premise
- IoT: thread, zigbee, tasmota, BidCoS, LoRa, WX suite, IR
- 3D: two 3D printers, 3D scanner, CNC router, laser cutter

Due to coronavirus after everything i touch, phone, door, lighter, steering wheel, keys, etc. The first thing i think is if the virus is there. And i go to wash my hands. It makes me smile but at the same time, it is sad...

Going through Oz passport control a month ago (1) and seeing that the tabletty device on the passport scanner had a message in the bottom right hand corner 'press here to activate windows' (2).

Also saw one of those big, orange, trailer mounted road-side signs recently displaying the message 'GPRS INIT'.

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Mike Hoskings - I think he's finally foot-shot himself. Hopefully ...

In this NZ Herald article, he waffles on about how bloated our parliament is, and about MMP list MP's.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/article.cfm?c_id=466&objectid=12318364

Then further down:

"One test, not the only one, but one test of your value to a group, business, institution, or economy is if you vanished, what wouldn't happen? What would stop? What would people miss? If the answer is nothing, or not much, or it would take a while to even notice, surely we could argue your role is not exactly vital? Perhaps not even that viable?"

Would anyone really miss him if he went permanently AWOL ?

He's really not an investigative journalist, just a middling entertainer of dubious value. IMO

I'd miss the barber that cuts my hair, even if I see him only once every 3 months

I certainly wouldn't miss Mike Hoskings. If his hot air platform was removed, maybe someone would publish something of actual value.

It'd be sad if NZME had to cut costs and he went. Unfortunately he appeals to a certain element of boomers and moral majority types.
