Day 10: cycle
Bicycles at the station. Really need to get on my bike and buy one for myself. #mbsept

I’m no fashion expert, but I’m guessing that if you were to stand on the corner holding this sign, you’re going to stop traffic. #dadjoke

Oh, I’m having a day at work today. Everything’s broken, or not built right, and Slack has been pinging me non-stop with people experiencing problems. The original goals for today have been thrown out the window. I guess the only goal remaining is to get something better than it was yesterday. 😮💨

Day 7: panorama
Might go wide for this one. View from the Paps, near Mansfield. #mbsept

Day 6: well
Taken from the Churchill Island homestead. I’m trusting the sign here to be correct in it’s assertion that there used to be a well here. #mbsept

Day 5: forest
I consider myself extremely lucky to live near a forest reserve. I walk through it several times a week. This forest, however, is absolutely nowhere near me. #mbsept

Alternative Day Four Photo
I had an alternative idea for today’s photo challenge, which is “orange”. I was hoping to post a photo of something related to Melbourne’s busses.
You see, PTV has designated different colour for different modes of transport. Blue for metro trains, purple for regional trains, green for trams, and orange for busses. And from my experience using the service, they’re pretty consistent with adhering to this design language:
Anyway, they’re doing train works along my rail line over the past few weeks and this morning I noticed this sign (forgive the lighting, it was before dawn):

Day 3: precious
A photo of the Hope Diamond, taken while touring the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, in Washington, DC. #mbsept

I only just discovered yesterday that Feedbin has a read-it-later feature. The section only shows up in the sidebar after you add your first page, so I had no idea that this feature existed before I added one via the link popup-menu in the article viewer.

Day 2: buildup
New shed being built nearby to house the spoil from a new road tunnel. It’s quite large. I guess they’re expecting quite a large build-up of dirt. #mbsept

Feels good putting up another project on my omg.lol page.
Feels less good when I realised that I actually got the name of my own damn project wrong in the blog post I wrote yesterday. 🤦

Mainboard Mayhem
Project update on Mainboard Mayhem, my Chip’s Challenge fan game. I didn’t get it finished in time for the release deadline, which was last weekend. I blame work for that. We’re going through a bit of a crunch at the moment, and there was a need to work on the weekend.
The good news is that there wasn’t much left to do, and after a few more evenings, I’m please to say that it’s done. The game is finish, and ready for release.

GitLab is requiring me to manually click “automatically rebase” when I try to merge a MR. This option is only available after the CI/CD runs, which means I have to wait for the build, click “rebase”, and wait for another build before I can merge. Why doesn’t it just rebase automatically if it can?

Missed the train this morning, but grabbed a photo of it travelling back to Newport this evening. 🚂

A note to self for next year: the steam-train for the Wattle Festival comes through at around 9:00. Try to be around the railway line around then. 🚂

I got a phising message last night. At least, I think it was a phishing message.
It was pretty convincing. It said that my address is wrong and needed to be fixed for a delivery. Clicking through — I’m actually expecting a delivery, which is why I clicked through — brought up a site that looked like a form from AusPost asking for my home address. It was styled like an AusPost site, but the domain ended in “.top” instead of “auspost.com.au”, and revealing the menu, which worked, I saw links pointing to the real AusPost site.
I’m taking all this, plus the fact that it was sent at 2 AM, as signal that it’s not genuine.

Seeing a lot more EVs driving around recently, with the record being 12 sightings during one commute. Not all of them have witty number plates thought.

While passing this sign on the way to work, I always wonder if they ever considered the name Catstruction.

The ice bus returneth. 🚌🥶
