Toni vs the naughty intruder kitten! She's never been so bold as to poke her head up at the window. #aotearoapets 🐱🇳🇿

We are all (cats included) watching at the window to see if the intruding kitten gets blasted by the motion sensor sprayer 😂 🇳🇿🐱 It seems like it actually enjoys it as it comes back for more! Kinda defeats the purpose.

It's locals week at the Ōamaru penguin colony so we're spending the evening watching little blue penguins coming in to their nesting boxes ♥️🐧

A view from the bleachers at the penguin colony. They will arrive from the sea and walk over to the right and come down between us all as we sit here. Apparently this is the best spot to sit! No photography allowed during the event though.

Going through our manuals today, I found one for the old heat pump we just replaced. 20 years is a pretty good innings! I'm obsessed with all the graphic design and explanations about how heat pumps work. Supposedly it was self cleaning but I beg to differ.

- In this version of the plugin, the error messages in the "Error Messages" section have been reset to their default values for programming reasons. You can now modify them as you wish.

New World bags are a favourite here too!

Spent this morning installing and hanging some thermal curtains to stop the huge amount of heat being lost through our conservatory. It will be very interesting to see how the house warms up tonight!

Playing around with making some #StereoPair photos while we're at the writer's festival. They came out really good! I used Instagram's story creator with a side by side layout to create the images.

Tracking down a bug this morning that causes some feeds to degrade in CPU performance over time. Scheduled restarting of the workers causes the CPU performance to reset to baseline. I've been able to track and solve so many bizarre bugs by adding in graphs for all sorts of things 😁.

Graph of internal Bluesky Feed Creator system showing CPU percentage used per feed. You can see a large shift in the middle of the graph where a bunch of feeds that were slowly increasing in CPU percentage reset back to their baseline.

Picked up a bucket of sanguine peaches from a lady in town, time to freeze them all so we can make crumble all winter 😋. Going to throw all the seeds down the back of the garden and hopefully start our own tree. #kai #nzgardening
