🔗 Anthony Mundine, Israel Folau: Sports stars shouldn’t vocalise opinions
Being a sports star may give you a profile and a platform but clearly it doesn’t imbue you with wisdom or sound judgment.

🔗 Support for ILCE-7RM3 - Downloads, Manuals, Tutorials and FAQs - Sony AU
I’m always scared when I update the firmware on my cameras, never ever have I thought twice about updating my phone though… 🤔
🔗 Sydney school bans kids from handing out birthday invitations
I really wonder about the kid’s parents who originally complained to the school about their kid not getting invited to a party. We’re just making our kids softer and softer. How on earth will they deal with the real world when they don’t get the job they wanted, are they going to dob the company in to their parents for some stern words… What a load of BS.
I still haven’t settled on an NBA team to support, but I’ve got to say, I love watching James Harden play.
🔗 New Zealand privacy commissioner says Facebook can’t be trusted - The Verge
New Zealand is becoming a more and more attractive place to live.
I got to give my new Sony A7r III a good workout on the weekend. The focusing is so smooth and fast, in particular the active tracking focus, it’s like a dream.
For some reason I thought that I should go back on Facebook over the weekend, and then I did…what a shit show that place is, and for the most part, it’s a shit show because of what friends of mine are posting/re-posting
Hopefully, a good game…
Stop giving away your work to people who don't care about it. Host it yourself. Distribute it via methods you control.
It’s easier to do than most people think!
Back at the cinema, seeing Captain Marvel again, with @travispacker this time. 🦹♀️
Today I started being able to work from home twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday.
It’s been an interesting morning, I’ve done most of my weekend chores already, as well as answering all my work emails.
I’ve been very productive, all potential distractions considered…
Rooting around on DreamHost VPS
Today is the day I work my way through DreamHost’s CLI documentation and join the ranks of those who TiddlyWiki.
This should be a good workout for my brain, I’ve very rarely used Terminal.app before, and when I have it’s usually been cut n paste scripting.
Quite a crappy performance tonight by the Jets, losing 2-3 to the Mariners. ⚽️
Curious, does anyone have any experience with Piwigo? I’m thinking of using it to host my own photos, as opposed to Flickr, SmugMug, etc. as I would like to maintain full control of the viewing and sharing of them for privacy reasons.
All Aboard the Wiki Train
Despite watching 2 or 3 NBA games a week for the last couple of months, I still don’t support a particular team. The last time I did it was the Seattle Supersonics in about ‘92, with Shaun Kemp and Gary Payton, with the Charlotte Hornets and Alonzo Mourning a close second. 🏀
Eye test time! 👁

Hahaha 😂
It’s interesting that Facebook is experiencing outages on the 30th anniversary of the web… 🤔
Some Thoughts On Using Facebook Again
Yay, new movie day! Can’t wait to watch Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse with @travispacker tonight!
I find it incredibly frustrating when a website, especially a Government run one that’s holding very important personal information about me, doesn’t allow a password longer than 20 characters…
