Back On June 13 1987, I took these photos of diesel locomotive T334 in Ozride livery at Traralgon, Vic Garish isn't it? But what in heck was Ozride? Well, it wasn't a real railway at all. It was a bit obscure at the time, but rumours were the loco had been […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

In 2015 I bought a Nikon Coolpix S33 camera for a trip to Fiji for A$149. I got it because it was waterproof. I only used it for that trip. I recently remembered I had it and wondered how it would compare to my phone, so I've started carrying it […] [Original post on mastodon.decentralised.social]

Mild take for the day: All videos players (looking at you YouTube) should have a waveform on the timeline to allow easier skipping to specific parts where the audio track noticeably changes. As seen here in Amberol, which is music player, but the idea is the same. #UX #UI

Screenshot of the Amberol music player on Linux. Under the track artwork is a waveform that fills in from grey to black as the song is played. It can also be clicked to jump to that section.

Why is Discourse so bad at counting. "(1)" on items happens regularly, but when clicked there's nothing there. Hard refresh fixes it (the unread count goes away).

Some soft retro vibes from the Brightinstar 35mm and FujiFilm Classic Chrome film simulation. From a trip to Caloundra this morning. #FujiFilm #Photography #Queensland

A long stretch of light coloured sand reaches towards a sliver of sea in the distance. The sky is blue with some fluffy clouds. There is a tee-pee shaped structure made from branches on the left. On the right is a pair of tyre tracks in an S sharp. A man walks towards the camera in one of the tracks.

An aluminium dinghy, the Minnow II sits beached on the sand in front of a large pool of water. Past the water is light coloured sand and a small strip of sea. The sky is blue but partly cloudy. A tee-pee shaped structure can be seen on the sand, build from driftwood.

A wooden staircase leads down to the water. In the background several peaks of the Glass House Mountains are visible.

A pelican flies above an old corrugated iron rooftop set against a blue sky and fluffy white clouds.
