“Get out more” goal for March achieved. β
Joined a bushwalking club and went for a hike in Warandyte.
So, uh, Stripe; which is it? You can’t change the currency of a customer, or you can? Because I was under the impression that you were unable to change the currency once it was set. So you could imagine my surprise when I was able change the currency of a customer this morning.


Well, got my evening sorted. π«

Saw a couple of spotters at the gym this morning: two brush tail possums. Mother and baby I’m guessing.


Swanson St, Melbourne. Been a while since I’ve walked this.

Another Twitter embed bites the dust:

That’s all of them now. I can’t see any more uses of that short-code here. Guess I was right not to do that too often.
Have pulled down the bit of fence extension that was falling down. I don’t think it was recoverable, or at least not with the wear it had endured plus my limited carpentry skills. But that’s fine. At least it’s neater now.
Dusted off Podcast Favourites (last commit 25 April 2022) and fixed a longstanding issue of thumbnails being lost when they’re changed in the feed. Editing the feed properties will now force a refresh of the thumbnail URLs. Didn’t need to change anything else, which was a nice change.

Ok, I admit that I probably should’ve looked through the settings menu before writing a post, because it looks like my new cooler does has a shutoff after N hours feature. It also allows you to set the fan speed. Why it’s on page 2 of the settings menu is beyond me, but it’s there and it works.


I thought the need to use these isolators β which, when opened, will shut off power in the overhead line flowing from north to south β was the reason why the train replacement busses are where they are. Turns out I was wrong, as these isolators are still closed. Must be some other reason.

Recent earworm: Samplextra, by Lee Rosevere. π΅

New AC installed and doing the best it can on this slightly humid day, although it’s performing better than the old unit. I forgot to take a photo of the old panel, so here’s a photo of the new one (the lower one is for the heater).

No trains today.

It’s finally happened: the local pigeons have discovered bagels and coffee.


New ground stickers telling people not to ride on the path. We’ll see how well these work, since the sign has been such a “success”. Maybe the police emblem will help. π

Galah’s letting anyone who cares to know that it’s on this pole, it’s their pole, and don’t you forget that.

Trying out DeepSeek’s chat model. Started with a pretty tame session, but it was something I needed from ChatGTP a week ago. DeepSeek seems to do pretty well here: I like how terse the answers are. I’d be curious to try out the API too.

Hitchhiker. One of two today.

Discovered new street art this morning. Took a photo of my favourites.
