Maybe not Gray's sharpest moment - he dropped his ball in front of Eric The Baby's stroller, and waited for it to kick it. Eric The Baby wasn't even there!

Josephine (the sheep dog) wrestling with Polo (the black shiba inu).

At our park there is the small dog group - spaniels and toy poodles and so on, and the big dog group - kelpies, blue heelers, border collies, etc. Polo is part of the big dog group.

We finally got some decent photos of our little friend Polo. Polo weighs maybe 1/5th of what Gray does, but he gets in Gray's face so bravely that he gets respect. For a long time Polo's mum was afraid Polo was going to get hurt, but Gray has […]

The dog walker decided today was too wet to walk, so I had to do it. Here are the 8am walk, the 11am walk, and the 4pm walk. The last walk is the photo where he is obviously enjoying himself despite the rain, wind, and a feels-like temperature of […]

What an outstanding dog. OUT STANDING in the cold rain.

I was thinking what a twerp he is, and along came his friends Simba, Herbie, Red Dog and McCracken, who are also twerps.

So I bought this new laptop, which seemed pretty nice and worked for a few days but them stopped charging. So I dragged it around the house with its power cable and tried it in different sockets, but it wouldn't charge.

Well, sheeit.

I procrastinated on getting it fixed, and just left it […]

So my son and his girlfriend came to visit because they were going to the Critical Role show in Sydney. For those who don't know, Critical Role is some voice actors who play D&D. As I understand it they packed out the International Convention Centre for two shows - 9000 attendees per show.

Some […]

Hmm. I seem to have come to a crossroads in life.

I got the news recently that there will be major changes at work, so I will need a new job. This should be distressing but actually I've felt pretty calm about the idea of not being on support ALL THE TIME. So I will be looking for a job where I […]

Inspired by maudenificent's post, I tracked down some of Andrew Leigh's PhD thesis. This paper is called "Does Equality Lead to Fraternity?" and is a statistical analysis of the correlation between inequality and level of trust in a society […]

In today's news, I went to see the Sheriff (who did NOT have a star badge, I am so disappoint!) and he said well yes since you are needed at work you do not have to do jury duty for 3 months but then we will ask you again even if you have the same job. So that's a massive load off my mind, for 3 […]

Laura Tingle's article on the ABC today was wonderful and brutal.

"First, as an indulgence taken purely on behalf of readers, let us agree that the federal Coalition can be put aside. That seems only fair, given that the Coalition seems so determined to be irrelevant."

So I've been thinking the afternoon snack thing some more, and refining the criteria. Here are the new requirements:
* something I can quickly eat in the afternoon when I need a pick-me-up
* that won't contribute overly to my already excessive weight
* that I can buy or prepare ahead of time
* […]

The puppy was grumpy about me eating lunch and him not having any (except for the chicken necks he got an hour ago), so I put a bone out for him. He was too tired to go look to see what it was so DrMrsDrFriendless brought it to his bed. So then he was sleeping with a bone. So I put it back in […]

Dev: What sort of error?

Work: It's not working!

Dev: I can see it working in the logs.

Work: They tried to reinstall and there was an error!

Dev: What did the error say?

My advice to developers is, say […]

Welp, my code doesn't work, but I have succeeded in getting the error message into the correct place. And now the puppy is stirring and the afternoon's adventures begin.

Spoiler: it's just watching the dog get muddy in the park, again.

Have a lovely evening, tooters.

What's an afternoon snack that I can keep in the cupboard and have with a coke, but isn't chips. Asking for tomorrow as it is too late today and now I have run out of chips.

I learnt a thing about my puppy last night. We had a guest and he had done his favourite thing when we have guests which is to lie under the dining table chewing on a bone. But after dinner he wanted a thing, and he was very keen on this thing because he licked my elbow to express the importance […]

Clients: OMG nobody else should be allowed to see my data!

Also clients: If I have two accounts can I report on both of them together?

Developer: why do I even fucking bother?

In today's news, the puppy is happy with the meaty bones from the butcher. My previous bone purchase was "soup bones" from the supermarket, which were weirdly red and which he refused to touch.

If the dog won't eat them, I'm not making soup with […]

Today I had a late breakfast, then screwed around and only got to thinking about lunch at 2pm. I made some of Nagi's Charlie Brown sauce, couldn't be f'ed doing a stir fry, so we did a family expedition to a Vietnamese takeaway.

Gray has not previously encountered a roast pork banh mi, and he […]

Ah, well that's gonna fuck me. I have to attend jury duty, possibly for an 8 week trial. Work will be screwed without me, the dog will literally not understand Daddy not being home, and I fucking hate going to the CBD and haven't been there for years.

Jesus H Fucking Christ, leave […]
