Stop me if you’re Australian and have heard this story before. You find something online you need to purchase. You add it to your trolley, make a payment for the item and the requisite shipping, and wait for the invoice. So far, so good....
Has anyone figured out how to sign into Indieweb with microblog, via IndieAuth? When I use my website URL, I get forwarded to micro.blog’s platform, with a message that “I’m already signed in as JTR.” What am I supposed to put in there?...
Am I deep-frying cubes of spam in a wok? Technically? Yes. Literally? Also yes.
"the plants haven't been watered yet" my mom says to me as i enter the dining room. i just came back from sitting outside on my laptop studying a photographers website and his works. scrolling through his work projects with different...

How do you like your photos served up? I have been shooting a little colour lately…what do you think? Thanks for the feedback!
During tonight’s pub quiz we won a free drink, bottle of wine, Caesar salad and entry into a super league for penultimate pub quiz losers. Not bad for 2 hours of brainteasing.
Yesterday I ceased being a customer of U.S. Cellular after twenty years and five months. It was in May 2024 that T-Mobile announced a plan to acquire both U.S. Cellular's customers and its stores, as well as 30% of the company's spectrum...
March 2015 This was actually my last walk around the Isle of Anglesey (as usual, I didn’t do the walks in order). Last year I had focussed on the south coast of the island, this year, the north coast. I started from the largest town on...
