We have phone call & meeting booths in this co-working space for a reason. Guy who works in an office takes call out of the office so as to not bother his staff, but is now pacing around the open plan area where I sit talking loudly on the phone. Make it make sense.
Having fomo looking at the weather in Melbourne atm. Figures that almost as soon as I get back on Sunday the weather will get warmer again.
Today’s the first day I’ve had some time to myself… or so I say, but I really need to get onto the Python thing for work and wrap that whole thing up today so they can invoice tomorrow. Uggghh I just want to switch my brain off and lie in bed with the AC on watching Animal Kingdom S4 (finally Ellen Barkin is getting phased out. I hate her acting in this show)
But nope. Time to fire up the laptop and get to asking chatgpt how to do the thing
the tide was very low today
I found a sinker and a very good large abalone shell that has a blister pearl
the main attribute of sinkers and lures is they have to attract fishermen into buying them
I can see why everyone just uses Shopify for online stores these days. I went with Woocommerce because it’s free, but setting up variable items like clothes with different sizes is such a headache.
It’s a manual process either way. You either go into every product and set up the variations yourself, or you upload one CSV, have to turn on product variations for each product individually, then upload a second CSV with all the variations.
It’s probably just me, but as a user, geez I hate Shopify. Thank you for choosing anything else
I don’t like it. They charge a monthly fee and a percentage of sales. They’re also trying to become like a platform for online shopping, like they’re trying to muscle in on becoming a monopoly.
And they seem pretty content with making it easy to start your own AI generated dropshipping store. They’re trying to sell the dream so they can collect that subscription money. Starting a store is only the first step, not the final destination.
oh fuck off.
I get a text from a random number “i coudln’t find ur address” apparently this is what passes for a fucking missed delivery card with couriers nowadays
PACKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE
beautiful day today 🌞
beach first then back to work
Enjoy this glorious sunshine!
Late to work because I was too busy reading the drama between Nagi from RecipeTin Eats and Brooke Bellamy/Penguin, oops!
My take on the whole drama: hmm, maybe I should make a caramel slice.
they do look delicious
I’ve just realised Miss Meow is going to be able to go outside in the new place. She’s not going to be able to scale the colourbond fence, and as long as I make sure there are no gaps under gates or anything like that it should be secure enough.
this is nice 🐈 it’s good for cats to be in a bit of garden
BLOONS
Lease signed. Bond paid. Automatic rent payments set up. Countdown to key aquisition: 9 days
Developing a mild cauliflower ear despite draining fluids out.
Gonna look like an absolute killer in my office attire.

I’m going to buy my old laptop off work but it needs a new SSD.
I don’t want to spend too much on a replacement SSD, but I need to balance speed and capacity.
There’s probably no point looking on the second hand market as SSDs just wear out and I’d be buying one with a shorter shelf life vs going new
SSDs are getting pretty dirt cheap, you can get a 240gb for $29. Is it SATA or NVME?
Its NVME and I figured I’d go 2tb gen 4 since that’s what’s in there.
I can get one for about $169 but I’m all about cost minimisation
2tb is heaps for a laptop, do you need that much?
If you drop down to gen 3, it’ll still be plenty fast and slightly cheaper: https://www.umart.com.au/product/silicon-power-2tb-p34a60-gen3x4-tlc-r-w-up-to-2-200-1-600-mb-s-pcie-m-2-nvme-ssd-61704
But gen4 from the same site is not much more: https://www.umart.com.au/product/klevv-2tb-cras-c910-k02tbm2sp0-c91-pcie-4-0-nvme-m-2-2280-ssd-80368
Never heard of klevv though, could be sketchy
I just figured I’d keep it consistent. The HP SSD I’m looking at is at least a known brand and a bit faster for just a bit more.
The current laptop is filing up, but that’s from trying to get old games running on it through WINE and not being partitioned properly because I left Windows on there. I could back everything up to the new laptop and do a clean sweep of the old one.
How much free space do you have on there? I’ve only got a 1tb in my gaming pc because media lives on the NAS. I could probably have gotten away with a 500gb.
There’s plenty of free space on there at the moment because it just has work stuff.
It might replace my current laptop because it can get pretty slow at times, but weirdly it’s only on the internet, and specifically sites like Google Maps.
I don’t have a NAS set up yet. Definitely on my list of things to do, I should just buy one because I’ve had trouble getting the desktop to work as remote storage.
