He/him. Occasionally amusing. Mainly food bikes and dogs

Kirikiriroa (Hamilton NZ)

Pinned Skeet - I know we can't buy our way out of the climate crisis, but the joy I feel every time I ride my cargo bike makes me feel like it should be a thing.
Smashing pumpkins used to do this a lot - there are so many MP3 rips of their sessions/gigs

I mean it looks like the right kind of sickness to me...

knowingly creating "graphic design is my passion" data vis is love and comedy - I reckon she'll be laughing when she sees it.

* laughing, imagining smothering you in your sleep *

My partners like that - I can't even say things without her seeing them - we dont watch a lot of gory stuff together.

Bacon and egg is the most reliable pie too. If you're trying a new pie makers pie (or it's 2am in a service station) then the b&e option is a good choice.

wonder if its an interim step to removing the MS at the front so it will eventually become NOW

Mrs Cowell makes the bog standard supermarket pav - that graces a million parties at this time of year -they need to be decorated but are an acceptable choice to take to any pot luck.

I've always worked in that sort if environment and we moved to good code over the years as we refined and rebuilt stuff the end was extremely good, but doing the thing was always the most important.

I've recently met some "code purists" and they are such a bore.

Yeah this made me think about farm engineering, and some of us are just hacking it together with a stick welder and others are producing art.

Sometimes stopping at the end of step one is ok though.

I feel the same way - and the NZ Tech one is also bad these days.

The Roblox CEO was enlightening - like how do you get to be the CEO, doing PR and be that bad at it - lots of barely controlled anger...
November 24, 2025 at 2:00 AM
yeah - annoy-ai-d perhaps.

Annoyed?

I hear that low bitrate mp3's are the best way to store that whole collection on the smallest usb stick going - Imagine having all that music in your pocket able to take it anywhere you went. It'd be so easy to move house

Soap - I like hand made soap - @veronicaf.bsky.social makes the best soaps in the world

Books - I read Fantasy and Sci Fi also love a good cook book.

I had cucumber, capsicum and beans and salmon - we both deserve the award for virtuous lunch instead of yummy chips

I also like gardening - especially vegetables - my thumbs are slowing getting greener.
