    Ugh, so glad it’s day off day… I’ve been slightly crook 1.5 days, had a wee bit of work drama one day, caught an Uber that smelt like upchuck the other day (man, the standards are non-existent these days), and what should have been an easy bike service with a few blingy bits has turned into a debacle of issues that makes it sound like I’ve been riding it til the wheels fall off.

    Yep, definitely pours.

    After midnight, the air is silent,
    The crickets chirp, the birds are quiet.
    Hear the low hum of passing cars,
    The beat and thrum of guitars in bars.
    Occasionally a cry will break the night,
    Or giggles will follow the sound of a light.
    The sound of bottles being thrown away,
    The bar downstairs is done for the day.
    Come three in the morning, or even one,
    The club’s will close, they’re all done;
    The patrons will flood the street to phone,
    A rideshare to drive them all the way home.

    Heading into the office because I’m meeting Microsoft at 12. Anybody got anything they want me to tell Microsoft?

      Feedback:
      Azure Data Explorer is really impressive. It’s expensive as hell, but somehow cheaper than Oracle (which I’m sure is their whole model). Kudos for Kusto.

      Fix intune compliance sync. Legit, why is intune complaining a firewall isnt enabled on an endpoint, yet the endpoint says firewall is enabled? Its dumb AF. Also next time I log a ticket for Defender email filtering being rubbish, dont tell me its a “machine learning” issue. Defender sucks!

    Ok I had to post this here after seeing it on the other site. For anyone who has wondered how they do the VFX for live sports broadcasts - ads on the field that seem to follow the camera around perfectly, on-screen graphics following players around, calculation of ball trajectories - this is a fantastic 11 minute video. You gotta check it out, I don’t even care for sports and was mesmerised!

    Tech is wild though. I cannot believe they managed to render an entire NHL game into Toy Story settings/characters - including the freaking commentators - LIVE, with only TWENTY seconds delay from the live broadcast.

    I’ve been watching Babylon Berlin lately. Binging it so I can power through before it leaves Netflix.

    The band from the fictional nightclub in the show released music for real (as the Moka Esti Orchestra) and it’s…actually legit as hell

      Incredible show. The final series wasn’t released on netflix. I sailed the high seas to find it.

    Went to a gig last night and it seems that young pomms are back in droves (you can tell by the accents and number of fades). Was packed. Normally the place is empty on a thurs.

    Extremely popular music in the UK (drum and bass) but the scene here has sort of been struggling after the rona (for the smaller gigs). Hopefully it gives promoters a bit more confidence throwing smaller cheaper gigs and difference is made up with drink sales.

    Also $15 a pint is ouch.

      Word of caution: That can allow bacteria and mould on the surface of the kibble to grow so either make sure it’s eaten immediately and remove the food if it isn’t, or try to avoid soaking.

      Interesting. The reason I give him dry in the morning is because it’s easier on the eyes and nose but if adding water means he enjoys it more I will just have to suck that up.

    I gotta head into Richmond in a couple hours to get the car, then drive to the corner of the city near the Royal Melbourne to pick everyone up around 4pm, then hightail it out to the 'Rat.

    Google Maps keeps directing me to the hellish Westgate and the inevitable shitshow with the newly flipped m80 intersection. Would it not be easier to take Ballarat Rd, or even Dynon Rd -> Princes Hwy? 🤔
