I thought the need to use these isolators — which, when opened, will shut off power in the overhead line flowing from north to south — 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.

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).

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.

The conspiratorial side of me is thinking that running shoes are getting more expensive and lasting half as long. The shoes I had have worn out considerably so I bought a new pair, which arrived today. So I’m officially marking the date.

My Micro.blog mug by @jimmitchell has arrived. Looks great. As for where it fits in my ever expanding tech-related mug collection, if we were to order by size, it sits nicely in the middle.

I only just discovered that you can use your finger to annotate screenshots in iPadOS. Go to the options menu and turn on “Draw with Finger”. I actually had no idea it was possible to make annotations without using a pencil. Why this is off by default when there’s no pencil nearby is beyond me.

I kinda feel for UI designers. If you were asked to come up with a menu icon for showing reading mode, font size settings, and accessing the page menu with other miscellanea, which gliph would you use? I’d say that the one chosen for Safari is a little confusing, but I really cannot blame them.

Bit surprised to see this appear in my washing machine after washing some new clothes I bought this week.

I guess there’s nothing in life that can’t be improved by adding RGBs to it. 😄
Also glad I caught this feature before buying this cable for my nightstand.

Sighted an echidna today. It wasn’t a close encounter; I was about seven or eight metres away. Probably why it wasn’t too fazed to have its picture taken.
