I am a cringe lord from Melbourne, Australia. All my internet references and long outdated jokes are from the 2010s. If you're reading this, there's 50% chance you're salty about something I said and clicked on my profile. For the other 50%, welcome! ^_^

Had a wonderful day at Port Arthur, a must visit site! I also really appreciated they stayed on topic and focus whole time, some museums can get sidetracked with other things but that's not the case here.

On Saturday as a belated birthday thing, friends and I saw the 70mm projection of The Oddessy at the Sun Theatre in Yarraville. Before it started the projectionist himself did a little introduction. I was able to answer his quiz question and I won this branded film strip!

I remember when computers and the internet were considered to be something nerds did. How nice it was, so open and friendly. Then finally, the normies realised that it might be useful. Spam, Sport and Advertising soon flooded OUR spaces.

I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I love B-class trams with all my heart and I don't want to see them go! The replacement G's are just so ugly. But having just helped a bloke get his pram on a B just now, they are quite a nightmare from an accessibility perspective and G's will be a huge improvement in that way.

"Paysage de Printemps" (Spring Landscape) by French Neo-Impressionist painter, Achille Laugé, 1910
Dense, shady woods border the left side of the path. Four prominent, vertical tree trunks line the right side of the canvas. A calm blue sea meets a low horizon line in the distance. A single, tiny yellow sailboat dots the water near the center. A vibrant, sun-drenched grassy slope dominates the center and right foreground. Deep, cool shadows stretch across the path from the dense trees on the left.  Golden light filters through the canopy, creating bright oval spots on the path.  The entire scene mimics a bright, overexposed summer afternoon.

Oh bless. The gas industry is against the 25% gas export tax because they want to pay *more* tax. Hooley dooley, they are getting desperate.
Australian Energy Producers media release

Media release
24 April 2026
Existing tax system would deliver $80 billion more tax from higher oil price, report finds
Australia’s oil and gas industry would deliver almost $160 billion in taxes and royalties to governments over the next five years if high international prices persist under existing tax settings, new independent analysis by Wood Mackenzie shows.
This represents around $80 billion more than under typical long-term price assumptions equating to nearly $17 billion per year in additional revenue flowing to federal and state budgets.
Australian Energy Producers Chief Executive Samantha McCulloch said the findings reinforce that Australia’s existing fiscal framework including the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) is already working as intended

A lesson hard learnt many times back when I worked on night shift. No matter the temptations, it isn't worth it when you need to sleep later. Half-life of caffeine in the body or something. That said, there's plenty of wonderful decaf options out there to give you the same warm feeling!

Legitimately though. Apart from the security risks, planned obsolescence and sunk cost ecosystem nature of IoT devices, it's good to not be online all the time. I've made a concerted effort to reduce internet time and I'm all the better for it. Being terminally online does strange things to people.
