Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 30/09/2026@richardglover1.bsky.social a typo in The Mud House. Can I get a refund? 001
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 30/09/2026Last two code branches have been 'rightsizing' and 'more-sizing'. Resisting temptation to call the next one 'Tom Sizemore'. (RIP apparently. Died in 2023.) 010
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 28/09/2026@ratkins.net I have an ultrawide monitor. 49". I generally use it in thirds. If a window is on the far right (no, not twitter), to use the menus I have to drive aaaaaaall the way over to the left hand side of the monitor, and then aaaaaall the way back. Any recommendations for me? 210
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 21/09/2026Mildly disappointed to find that Hamnet is not about a pig who acquires powers after being bitten by a spider. 000

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 15/09/2026This meme came up in my head a couple of days ago. A classic. 010
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 12/09/2026I've been playing #Subnautica. Wanted to play it for a while, and managed to get it free via Steam. It's fun, but feels too massive. Every hour of play solves one problem and opens 12 more problems. And to solve that problem you need that thing you left back at your base. 100

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 16/08/2026I read a few books about North Korea. Memoirs of people who escaped, etc. They were fed propaganda their whole lives of course, about the state of the rest of the world. The 'deprogramming' of people who left, was to just send them out into the street, typically in South Korea. 100

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 24/07/2026Ted is a diminutive form of Edward, derived from an Old English tradition of letter swapping, where the initial 'E' in Edward was replaced with a 'T' for easier pronunciation. This nickname is commonly used alongside others like Ed and Ned. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. 000
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 21/07/2026When my kids move out of home, I'll have to do the dishwasher by myself every day. I do now, but I will then too. (Apologies to Mitch Hedberg) 020
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 20/07/2026@craigmod.com hey Craig. I just finished TBOT, which I enjoyed a lot. We visited Japan about a year ago, a typical 10 day visit to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto. Keen to go back and visit more remote areas. 020
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 13/07/2026Why are licorice jelly beans mixed in with the rest of them? Even if you like licorice, they don't belong. A similar shape, sure, but a wildly different food group. 010

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 13/07/2026On the train last week, I sat opposite a guy in full motorcycle leathers. Motorcycle boots. A helmet on his lap. "A bit of overkill for a train ride mate" He had earbuds in, of course, falling on deaf ears. The death of polite society. 010
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 08/07/2026My son, a time optimist, is leaving here at 12:15, driving to basketball, playing for an hour, driving back, and will meet us at lunch at 1pm. 010

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 02/07/2026A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by asking AI. Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: “You cannot fix a machine with AI with no understanding of what is going wrong.” Knight asked AI to fix the machine. The machine worked. 131
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 29/06/2026Got a house battery recently. And signed up to a plan where we electricity is free 11am-2pm. So, we charge the battery during that period, and the battery carries us fairly easily until at least 11am the next day. #solar #electrification #solarpunk 120

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 23/06/2026I've been lazy promoting my ipad app. So, I took the easy route and made it free, with a small IAP for some functionality. 21 downloads. Sweet. 010
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 22/06/2026Went skinny dipping on the solstice. As is tradition. Pics on request. 000
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 21/06/2026I found this option in #Vivaldi yesterday. Just turned it on on my work laptop also. It hides the various bars in Vivaldi, showing you a full screen of the webpage. If you move your mouse to the top/left/right, it will then show whatever bar is typically there. 000
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 09/06/2026A woman sitting next to me on the train was clipping her fingernails (and retaining the dividends). As he was leaving, a man told her to do it at home next time. "We can hear it, and it's disgusting." 100

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 31/05/2026Page has been fixed, but I didn't get any form of a response, not even a "hey, thanks". Seems disrespectful, to be honest. 000
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 28/05/2026Accidentally found a small security problem for an S&P400 company. Just a page that should be private, but is public. Minor, but still a problem. I contacted them 6 different ways. Let's see if I get a response. 100
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 27/05/2026Been working on an iPad app, and just submitted it for review. There is one last bug I need to fix, so I won't make it public yet. Plus I think I'll make a website for it, help people find it, etc. I want it to feel more indie than commercial, but they still need to be able to find it. 100

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 27/05/2026Plex Lifetime passes are about to go up to $749.99 USD. This is bananas. I bought mine for about 85USD 3 years ago. No regrets. 750 does seem to be a "fuck off price". They don't actually want you to buy it, they want you to pay monthly instead. 1114
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 27/05/2026Getting a lot of Cloudflare (I think) "Prove You Are Human" since moving to Vivaldi. I wonder how much Microsoft and/or Google pay them for that feature. 120
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 26/05/2026I've started drawing (more on that later), and so have been using Pinterest for reference images. Happened across an article talking about AI invading Pinterest, and that there is a setting to reduce the amount of AI: au.pinterest.com/edit/gen-ai-... 001

Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 20/05/2026Really feeling this today. And yesterday. And some of last week. "The Programmers’ Credo: we do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they were going to be easy" 010
Brock Henry @brockhenry.au · 20/05/2026I never formally learned touch-typing, but can still type pretty fast on account of doing it for a living. I realised recently that I don't stick to the "right" keys. T and Y, for example, I type with my right or left hand, depending on the following letter. 000
