Tinkering with alternative software used to be my main hobby but these days I just want stuff that works so have drifted away from it a bit.

I’m still toying with the idea of replacing my OS with linux, in spite of knowing it’s a Bad Idea (because of software compatibility). Wouldn’t it be nice if companies you pay money to were a little open to the idea of creating flatpaks?

The nice thing about frosty mornings is the beautiful day you get after one. And it seems to make the midmorning coffee that much nicer.

Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Good for you, hopefully they get a lot of feedback like that and give up on the idea.

Already at work but the sun is out and it’s not freezing so mood is good. This morning I made a goal list for the week, just a couple of things to try and keep in mind so I’ll see how that goes.

Thanks for that link, that is definitely going to come in handy!

How is it only 1.7° at 9am? Although it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. There may be a trip to the flea market this morning to see about fresh veges but other than that, no real plans.

What’s everyone up to today?

I hate that farmers seem to think the only options are dairy or forestry, or in my area, grapes. No one seems to grasp that a monoculture in any particular is a bad idea and if it goes belly-up, the way dairy is going to, there’s nothing to fall back on. With food supplies getting a little shaky you’d think there’d be a push to start growing more stuff locally so we have less reliance on other countries and on shipping, but I guess planting out crops means Fonterra won’t be funding next years’ Ford Ranger purchase.

Yeah, I was gifted a raised garden made from a pallet but it only a week for the local wildlife to move in. Herbs are a good idea though, I should try that to ease back into it.

Just wait, the moment it hits 26 in December I’ll be bitching about that too 😁
