Adelaide Wedding

A fun weekend! Adelaide is a really nice city. Congrats to Nikki and Toddy.

Burback#youtube.com

This Burback channel is a lot of fun. Been watching some of their older stuff this week. It has a lot of production value.

Gasoline Prices#globalpetrolprices.com

This is a nice little chart for fuel prices around the world.

I paid ~$2.50 AUD per litre today which is the most I've ever paid for fuel.

This website is still on the 16th of March so it's a little behind. There's no petrol stations selling fuel for 2.07 per litre right now that's for sure.

What Happened To Spyro#youtube.com

This was an excellent Spyro retrospective. Me and my brother feel a lot of nostalgia for Spyro as it was also one of the first games we ever played.

A new Spyro would do really well IMO. Let's hope Toys For Bob are cooking something up.

New Front Garden Hose

I installed a new hose in my front garden last week. It's the same as what I have in the back garden; a Gardena 20m retractable.

To install it I mounted a slab of wood onto my weatherboard house and got ChatGPT to recommend some screws. I also learnt that the screws needed to go into where the studs were in the wall. The actual mount for the hose was then attached to the slab of wood. I used the same screws again as these were easier to drill than the ones that came with the hose.

Tahoe

I installed macOS Tahoe a couple of days ago. First impressions are that it's actually pretty good. The TextEdit logo is a massive regression though.

Kayo Redesign

Credit where it's due; the new Kayo redesign is really nice. The backend video streaming for live events also works a lot better now which is good to see.

It also works flawlessly in Safari whereas a few years ago it seemed stable only in Chrome.

Cuban Grand Prix#podcasts.apple.com

I liked this episode because it was a mix of Godfather 2 references. Cuba is the 50s was a wild place.

Using Helix For Blog

What if to practice getting better at using Helix I try using it for my blog.

The shortcuts are still kind of brutal to remember what it could be a bit of fun to give it a go.

I think it makes more sense to use these kind of editors now given the shift away from needing an IDE with AI.

I want something as stripped back as this and use it in conjunction with tools like lazygit.

Peninsula Kingswood#youtube.com

Rick Shiels playing at a course around the corner from me. I'm in.

Masters Of Ceremonies#instagram.com

This should be a cracking podcast. Been missing Ollie's commentary around the footy and the clear St Kilda bias.

Apple Passwords

I've now fully migrated to Apple Passwords. The app is okay and given 1password are increasing their prices there's kind of no point staying on with them. The autocomplete for Apple Passwords is also excellent.

Docherty#youtube.com

This whole media saga has been weird. Honestly its been probably good PR and exposure for Dan Does Footy.

Rory And Scottie#youtube.com

This is so random but super cool. That little low fade that Rory hits off the tee is beautiful.

Victoria Golf Club#youtube.com

Wish I was wealthy enough to play here regularly. It looks beautiful.

Neo#apple.com

This is going to be a really popular product.

The Neo name is a bit of a surprise.

Cometti#youtube.com

Legendary commentator. Some of these clips are so good.

Weird Players#youtube.com

If Emma had the opportunity to do this on me who knows what would come out. Something very weird most likely.

Stardew Old Builds#youtube.com

Really cool insight into game development here. Even those old builds look pretty awesome though in my opinion. Sprout Valley was definitely a much worse name.
