If anyone else is still playing Pokemon Go, please add me as a friend, I need 3 new friends to complete one of the research challenges…please and thanks!
Just heard someone described as “an aspiring Instagram model” and there’s no amount of emoji that could possibly demonstrate how much I laughed… Way to aim high kiddo!
I’m having one of those days where, quite literally, everything is pissing me off…damn Wednesdays.
Feels like a 5-6 coffee day, today…I’m 3 deep already and it’s only just past 9am.
Ordered a new camera lens yesterday, a Sony 70-200mm f/4, and I didn’t tell my wife…just received notice that it will be delivered today. If you never hear from me again, you know what’s happened!

Enjoyed this video from @aaronpk on how he does his screencasts.
🔗 Crypto Exchange Says It Can’t Repay $262 Million To Clients After Founder Dies With Only Password
Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX says it cannot repay most of $262 million in client holdings after its founder Gerald Cotten, the only person who knew the passwords to its “cold storage,” unexpectedly died in India in December 2018.
Oh shit! 🤦🏻♂️
Got a weird one happening, haven’t been able to work it out. My custom CSS is only showing up on matpacker.micro.blog, not on my custom domain matpacker.blog, despite it being fully hosted on mb. Anyone got ideas? CC @manton @macgenie
⚽️ Jets hammer hopeless Wanderers in A-League
Western Sydney's A-League season of woe has slumped to a new low after being embarrassed 5-1 on home soil by a ruthless Newcastle.
Yassss! Now that’s how you play football!
Stupidly put my hand up to look after the eWaste at work…

Sydney FC fill speed need with Austin
That was unexpected…not that he played many minutes for the Jets. 👋🏻
With the latest round of crap going on with Facebook, and Zuckerberg’s apparent resolve to join FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp, into one platform, I can no longer justify keeping Instagram around.
Today, I finally bit the bullet and deleted my Instagram account… 👋🏼
🔗 It’s So Cold Out! Where’s the Global Warming?!
Whilst The Day After Tomorrow is a movie, there’s actually a good chunk of actual science in it that explains exactly what is happening in parts of the US currently. Just because it’s not warm, doesn’t mean there’s not global warming…
🔗 Paying tribute to the web with View Source
I owe much of my career to View Source. It’s what got me started with web development in the first place. Going to sites that I liked, learning how they did what they did.
I LOVE View Source, I pretty much use it everyday!
🔗 Japanese government plans to hack into citizens' IoT devices
Many have argued that this is an unnecessary step, as the same results could be achieved by just sending a security alert to all users, as there's no guarantee that the users found to be using default or easy-to-guess passwords would change their passwords after being notified in private.
Look, there is a certain merit to what the Japanese Government has proposed, however, it’s not a huge leap to suggest that this “audit” will end up in the wrong hands at some point in time, nor that it will actually lead to people fixing their security flawed passwords.
Mark my words, this will not end well…and nor should it

Hard to disagree with those results.
⚽️ First training session for the year done and dusted! Here’s @travispacker making a strong save.

At Atlas' Open House, the parents and kids are thrown together following the revelations of tha gala. But for one family, the school event is only the beginning of the drama.
Watching: Runaways: Metamorphosis (S1.E6) 📺
At the PRIDE gala, the kids set in motion a plan to expose their parents for good. As the evening progresses, everyone's personal drama threatens to drive the plan off course.
🔗 No More Google via Adactio
Privacy-friendly alternatives to Google that don't track you
Gmail is pretty much the only Google application that I still use regularly, and whilst I’ve got my own domain, hosting, etc. I don’t know if I want to host my own mail server…
⚽️ Diego Castro stars as Glory beat Jets 2-0
Disappointing performance by Newcastle last night in Perth. The current central midfield pairing is not working, we’re not turning defense into attack nearly fast enough, and our forwards aren’t getting good opportunities on goal.
