@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyAfter reading @rubenerd's post about acquiring two new-in-box Wyse 3040 thin clients I did a search on eBay and found a seller (maybe the same one) selling them for A$54 + $19 postage. I didn't expect them to be _that_ cheap. They even include a keyboard and mouse.
They have the same CPU and […]
@railmaps.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gyReposted by @wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyBack On June 13 1987, I took these photos of diesel locomotive T334 in Ozride livery at Traralgon, Vic
Garish isn't it? But what in heck was Ozride? Well, it wasn't a real railway at all. It was a bit obscure at the time, but rumours were the loco had been […]
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyTop rated mayonnaise you say. Ok CHOICE you have my attention.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyIn 2015 I bought a Nikon Coolpix S33 camera for a trip to Fiji for A$149. I got it because it was waterproof. I only used it for that trip. I recently remembered I had it and wondered how it would compare to my phone, so I've started carrying it […]
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyI use vertical tabs on the right in Firefox with the tab list collapsed. This places the first tab dangerously close to the window close button. After once again accidentally closing my primary browser window (luckily easy to restore with […]
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyA water lily at Northerlies Beach Bar & Grill last Friday when we were still on holidays.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyWe're well into spring now and I'm enjoying the change of season. The storm birds (Eastern Koel) are returning from their migration north for winter, it's now light for part of my after-work walk, and there's lots of colour on the plants and […]

@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyIt kinda weird that tiny plastic stickers get put on every individual supermarket apple (at least here in Australia). Once upon a time they served a useful purpose of identifying the variety for the cashier. They also sometimes helpfully […]
@mihaip.hachyderm.io.ap.brid.gyReposted by @wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyInfinite Mac now has a built-in screenshot function, making it easier to do a full-fidelity capture of what's on the emulated Mac's screen. Enjoy the jaggies! (thanks to @michaelsteeber for suggesting this feature)
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyI have created a package for cosmic-viewer on Casuarina this morning.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyWhy is Discourse so bad at counting. "(1)" on items happens regularly, but when clicked there's nothing there. Hard refresh fixes it (the unread count goes away).
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyI saw lots of fish and amazing coral at the two snorkelling sites today, but the highlight might have been this Stringray.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyToday we did a boat trip out to Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, and snorkelled some of the Great Barrier Reef. The conditions were perfect—the best they've been for months according to the locals.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyThere are plans to rewrite the mold linker in Rust. As well as aspirations to make it a complete drop-in replacement for GNU ld on Linux. "We are rewriting mold from C++ to Rust, and 2.42.1 is likely to be the last C++ version of the linker [..]. The Rust version of mold will be released as […]
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyI now have a capybara in Fields of Mistria. This is good.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyThree-plank Jetty, Mandalay
It was blowing a gale, but we still ventured to the end of the rickety little jetty.
@wezm.mastodon.decentralised.social.ap.brid.gyThe work part of this working holiday is now complete! It's all holiday for the next week.
After work we walked along the Cannonvale coast. We found a Ferrous¹ Ferris the Rustacean. Met several Curlews, and enjoyed the views.
