If you could afford to employ one full time staffers who would it be? Gardener, pool boy, administrator, butler etc.
Cat litter dealerwither! Need to vacuum every 5 minutes the way these boys kick the stuff around

Japanese house boy. No contest.
Housekeeper. No contest.

I've thought about a kitchen hand. They prepare. I cook. They clean up.
Hired goon
Haha. Let me guess? It's their job to protect the birds water dish and to feel free to pistol whip anyone that gets too close?
"but you can do that for free...... oOOOOOOOH GOON... Not the other thing. Carry on"

Ol' boy finally found the piccys from a school trip we did to nepal back in 1999 (I was yr 9 at the time). 200 kids, bunch of teachers, 4 docs who were parents of kids (and went for free lol). And a fuckton of risk, they stopped the trip a year after that as a few kids ran into health troubles. Cheap as shit due to bulk kids.
Was before digital cams so pretty much only the adults had proper cameras. ol' boy had a nice one and got heaps of shots. They're all on slides and negatives.
Looks awful for now until I get them properly imaged but fuck me the memories.
Over easter doing a slide show on an old school slide projector from the 70's that still works down the bellarine w/ the fam. Gonna be lit lol.
That's calendar worthy. So pretty.
Everything sounds awesome, the trip, the pics, and your slide show evening π

Spent most of today learning how to navigate my new org's SharePoint structure. Nearly 4 years in the same place and shit was embedded in my memory and almost automatic.
I feel like an infant learning how to crawl again.

Pre-inspection rental application completed. I'm really missing the days when you would go to the real estate agent, grab the keys for anything you were interested in to go and have a look, and if you liked it you just showed some basic id & proof of income and the place was yours.
Yup! Many less hoops to jump through to get the mortgage than deal with a new rental app. Seems they want damn dna samples now, and it's all in highly insecure third party databases.
You've got to do a pre-inspection rental application?! π It's been a while for me.

yay, pakige
coathangers and shoe organisers , so excitement

Great googly moogly I've solved the kodi conundrum
Issue: Kodi has Very Specific Naming Conventions. So do I . We do not share these conventions. I refuse to bow to the machine.
Solution: Symlinks
Issue: I have a remote fileserver, you cannot UNC hard symlinks
Solution:Kodi does fine with soft symlinks
Issue: Symlinks in windows are very different to linux, where they're more like shortcuts as windows has them hard coded to the kernel. Every single machine running kodi - currently two, lounge and bedroom, possibly a third with the brewery - will need its own symbolic link of every. single. file. on my file server named correct in order to scrape them and show them. My fileserver has 12tb on it.
Solution: Script written that will ask for a share name in UNC, then drill down every subdirectory and replicate the whole tree symlink form on local machine in directory of choice.
Issue: Still not in kodi naming convention
Solution: filebot portable, which is free. Rename symlinks to match TVDB. Original files untouched.
Issue: faults will occur if source files are moved or renamed
Solution: I just wrote another friggin' script that will go through every single symlink and subdirectory and list all that do not resolve in a txt file called broken_links.txt. Run that once a month or so and update as required and I'm dancing.
Then it's just upkeep with new symlinks as files/folders added and double checking it scrapes ok.

Brewed coffee, maybe one spoon isnβt enough for the stovetop coffee, not as strong obviously but lacking some body to it.
Also in other news the price of the PS5 is to set to increase due to whatever reasoning Sony has given.
Increase of 70 dollars, makes me wonder if the rest of the tech industry will up their prices as well.
Nothing wrong with my phone, but i'm already weighing up if the iphone becomes a 2000 dollar phone do I still need one? And if not, do I still need a flagship? Or can I get away with a Pixel a, Galaxy FE or Nothing a. Technically my current non pro iphone isnt a flagship.
Stovetop moka pot? I fill up the coffee chamber each time I brew one. Never fails.
Yup, stovetop moka pot, one full chamber of water is enough for one and a half mugs worth.
I usually serve it in a bigger mug.
I use a long armed coffee scoop, 1 and a half coffee grinds usually is enough to keep me awake and also send me into a coffee high so Iβve been experimenting with using less coffee so that it wonβt keep me awake and be as strong.
I brew a 6 shot moka pot as my morning coffee. It just does the job. Maybe I'm addicted.
I just made another one, slightly more coffee grind in the pot.
How do you know how many shots of coffee you make?
