YarraByte seems to be taking the 1st off in honour of labour movements worldwide.
So the rest of the family here missed out on a whole table being delivered. I just brought it in from the front step.
We've got one of those Google doorbells so once I find one of the old Home Minis we have kicking around I'm going to set it up in the back half of the house so they can hear the doorbell
Procrastinated biiiig time today but wow, I have to confess, ChatGPT saved me hours of time and heaps of mental energy by spitting out a perfect script that did exactly what I needed it to and I got the thing done in 5 minutes. Even was able to get an instant solution when I initially got an error (it was because my Python path environmental variable had been misconfigured which was an easy fix). And able to get it to explain or run snips of the code to see what the output would be like...
I feel a bit dumber for not figuring it out myself but then again, seriously, I have better things to be doing with my time and brain right now. So excited that this did what I needed!
I've tinkered with using AI to help with code and it's one area I'd trust it with a bit more than anything else. Code is a lot more structured than regular language so it's harder for AI to just hallucinate an answer. And it helps when you're somewhat familiar with the language and you're trying to fix a specific problem.
I'm pretty ignorant of the details but it's my general experience that GIGO applies
sounds to me like you're very skilled and knowledgeable and can use tools well
i would be totes clueless
Old friend asked me the other evening if I missed Carlton.
I do not.
Carlton Gardens were nice but I think I liked them because there were no front gardens in the streets, it was just terrace houses. Here there are large front gardens every where with all kinds of plantings and designs.
That's the thing I like about living in the suburbs. There's a man a few streets away who has filled his garden with beautiful wildflowers and every time I pass it, it makes me happy :)
I've changed so much by reducing my adhd medication.
It's mind blowing.
Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.
Unreal.
Imagine all of a sudden, your crippling social anxiety is gone. Just like that.
You would be unstoppable! This is an excellent development!
I'm glad you're better. You are a sweet kind man who deserves better in the world.
That's incredibly kind of you to say :)
this is wonderful that you are so much better 🌞
I'm watching Underbelly for the first time since it "aired" and we all watched it on bootleg dvds smuggled over the border. Still pretty gripping.
I liked when they fought for the gun like two brothers fighting for a remote. Just both grab it and wriggle.
Got some hot cross buns on clearance from Aldi, for the applie and cinnamon ones for 2 bucks.
I just ate a big bowl of super crunchy chips from the air fryer, oh they were so good, haven’t had them for ages.
Doctor problems.
Going in to get a few jabs. Wouldn't let me in because staff yesterday said I need a referral. Got the referral, turns out needed a script. told the GP, said I need a script. He reluctantly writes one up, I go next door to the chemist grab the jab and back to the clinic to be seen by a nurse (who was lovely).
Absolutely pointless waste of time.
I started the day with multiple packidge notifs and great delight, i end it with no packidge and great aggro.
Bonus aggro: trying to tell a vendor about a serious code issue on their back end and getting shuffled to the AI dumbass repeatedly telling me invalid solutions that assume i'm at fault. Gaaaaaaaaah
First day of Erin Patterson's Trial has been pretty wild - including her potentially faking cancer?!
what an idiot
It's so crazy! Yes, innocent until proven guilty and really only has to have a morsel of doubt in there, but this is just so bizarre to hear. The whole story gets more and more insane. Not wanting her kids to be tested/treated because she didn't want them to be worried, but saying they ate the leftovers?! I'm so interested to hear what the defence will say.
And saying she didn't have a food dehydrator when she'd been showing pics of it on Facebook and talking about how she used it to dry mushrooms.
in somewhat bad news for the coalition I still very much want to call Dutton a dickhead to his face. Also did you know its labour day in qld next week? cant make this shit up.
I'm sure he will be personally devastated by your remark
I started looking at furniture and now I have a cart full of stuff. This is possibly also a gateway that will lead me to looking at rugs, and once I do that who knows where it could end.
Cushions and an arty lamp.
There is a lamp in my cart. And a pendant light. Cushions I intend to make myself.
i resemble this
i have bought arty lamps and have bought rugs and looking to buy some real rugs
There is something about moving that brings out the need to decorate. I have bought a cheap rug, I'll see how it works with everything else before deciding if I want to spend the money on a proper one.
PTV charges by time but 45min journey turns into 2 hours
So it turns out the Perth Museum is massive. I've been here three hours and done, like, one floor
Just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. Holy fucking shit that sucked.
My dentist sent me to a periodontist for a deep clean. It took two hours and $3000 dollars. That sucked too.
Ouuuuuuch
Don't ever do that without local!
I wish I'd known that was an option lol
It was a good laugh with the dentists, but holy shit never again without a local
Got robbed for the first time ever, just some stuff out of the garage. Still unlikely to vote liberal/nationals.
Damn, that sucks. It may be expensive but I hope it was nothing sentimental.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you didn't lose too much from it.
Oh wow, how did they get in?
dunno. Garage door was open when we got up. It has been opening itself but I thought we solved that issue.
that's awful
Nothing has encouraged me more to have serious conversations with political fence sitters about what an absolute skid mark Clive Palmer is than the amount of spam I have received from him this week.
I don't know what makes me so special, but I haven't received political spam texts from anyone. Maybe just lucky?
Neither have I. Counting my blessings.
Me either, I'm feeling a bit left out!
Same, no spam, the only paper mailer in my letterbox is one from labour
I look at it this way - every mobile number I bock is a future promotional number blocked.
agreed!
there is nothing more frustrating than watching a parcel you fucking well know could have been delivered TODAY if they hadn't been a lazy shit head back across the other side of the state
recovered the bench seat, looks really nice
hot work tho, stripped down to my cami, leather tradie glove on my right hand and comfy jeans
now listening to some death in vegas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5nzwqj3utY
here's a pic
I've been wearing my top inside out til now until someone told me about it.
Yep, having that sort of a day.
I need to remember moisturise my skin more; so much dry skin.
Off again today but attended a meeting with the slt of a large national franchise chain.
They were actually pretty funny lol I was surprised how they didn't have a giant stick shoved up their ass.
Othetwise the open mic place is 2 train stops away from work. So very keen to play a show before the end of next month.
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
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.
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
I said "ok google" and she replied "I can't find your WiFi. You might want to check your router and connections". Ok. Fair enough but why did the one in the kitchen start playing arabic music? I don't even know what Rayan FM is but it says "Stay with us". Ok, but a please might’ve been nice.
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
BLOONS
Lease signed. Bond paid. Automatic rent payments set up. Countdown to key aquisition: 9 days
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.
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
PACKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE
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
beautiful day today 🌞
beach first then back to work
Enjoy this glorious sunshine!

Developing a mild cauliflower ear despite draining fluids out.
Gonna look like an absolute killer in my office attire.
The doc wouldn't drain mine. Now I have a lump in my ear.
tired meow

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
