Adelaide Wedding

A fun weekend! Adelaide is a really nice city. Congrats to Nikki and Toddy.

Burback#youtube.com

This Burback channel is a lot of fun. Been watching some of their older stuff this week. It has a lot of production value.

Gasoline Prices#globalpetrolprices.com

This is a nice little chart for fuel prices around the world.

I paid ~$2.50 AUD per litre today which is the most I've ever paid for fuel.

This website is still on the 16th of March so it's a little behind. There's no petrol stations selling fuel for 2.07 per litre right now that's for sure.

What Happened To Spyro#youtube.com

This was an excellent Spyro retrospective. Me and my brother feel a lot of nostalgia for Spyro as it was also one of the first games we ever played.

A new Spyro would do really well IMO. Let's hope Toys For Bob are cooking something up.

New Front Garden Hose

I installed a new hose in my front garden last week. It's the same as what I have in the back garden; a Gardena 20m retractable.

To install it I mounted a slab of wood onto my weatherboard house and got ChatGPT to recommend some screws. I also learnt that the screws needed to go into where the studs were in the wall. The actual mount for the hose was then attached to the slab of wood. I used the same screws again as these were easier to drill than the ones that came with the hose.

Tahoe

I installed macOS Tahoe a couple of days ago. First impressions are that it's actually pretty good. The TextEdit logo is a massive regression though.

Kayo Redesign

Credit where it's due; the new Kayo redesign is really nice. The backend video streaming for live events also works a lot better now which is good to see.

It also works flawlessly in Safari whereas a few years ago it seemed stable only in Chrome.

Cuban Grand Prix#podcasts.apple.com

I liked this episode because it was a mix of Godfather 2 references. Cuba is the 50s was a wild place.

Using Helix For Blog

What if to practice getting better at using Helix I try using it for my blog.

The shortcuts are still kind of brutal to remember what it could be a bit of fun to give it a go.

I think it makes more sense to use these kind of editors now given the shift away from needing an IDE with AI.

I want something as stripped back as this and use it in conjunction with tools like lazygit.

Peninsula Kingswood#youtube.com

Rick Shiels playing at a course around the corner from me. I'm in.

Masters Of Ceremonies#instagram.com

This should be a cracking podcast. Been missing Ollie's commentary around the footy and the clear St Kilda bias.
