Day 8: union

Had some trouble with this one today, so I thought I’d hit it up in the textbooks. #mbmay

Day 7: park

The park in Benalla, taken last month during our drive to Canberra. #mbmay

Day 5: Earth

One of the first photos from Himawari-8, a JMA weather satellite that went online while I was working at the Bureau of Meteorology. The images it produced pushed our visualisation tools to the limit, but boy, they were absolutely stunning. #mbmay

Day 1: switch

I usually sit at that table. But today, I decided to switch to the other side. #mbmay

Good morning from Canberra. Photo’s taken just a little after 7:30 this morning.

Walked a little of the Castlemaine to Maldon bike trail today, which runs besides the tourist railway line. Usually a steam train travels along it, but I didn’t see one today.

Got my copy of Bloch’s Effective Java out today for the first time in years, in order to prepare for an interview. As far as books about programming languages go, this is probably my favourite. Very informative and easy to read.

My printed Day One journals for 2021 have arrived, much quicker than I expected. They came out nicely. I think paper covers are the way to go — they feel much better to flip through than the hard cover one I have for 2020.

Cling Wrap

I bought this roll of cling wrap when I moved into my current place. Now, after 6.5 years and 150 metres, it’s finally all used up. In the grand scheme of things, this is pretty unimportant. It happens every day: people buy something, they use it, and eventually it’s all used up. Why spend the time and energy writing and publishing this post to discuss it? Don’t you have better things to do?
