So I occasionally buy imported Belgian beer from a NZ Importer. They import beer from all over the world, and I am glad we have their service. However this offer did seem to be taking the literal piss :-)

#Rstats - does Posit have a "feature request" for R Studio? I looked at the community forum, but it seems a bit generic.

this is the funniest way to describe brian fucking eno

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed. There was a shimmer - a demon appeared. "Curious. What ritual is this?" "I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!" "I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.

Dutch inspired red cycling paths in Portugal! Ventraco (#DCEnetwork) have recently unveiled the first kilometer of a new cycle path using their signature red asphalt. This eye-catching red cycle lane enhances cyclists' sense of safety, encouraging more people to choose the bike over the car.

Wasn't going get caught up on pope hype but this should make for an amusing joke in the odd conference presentation

Today in hardware lessons learned - although Zigbee is a "standard" the different hardware manufacturers do not actually co-operate with each other, so Tuya devices do not work with Xiaomi and vice-versa. That's about $60 of money down the drain - guess I could try and resell on Trademe.

Perfection I'd say :-) Tasted good too

I was going to buy a new LG OLED TV today, but there are so many people complaining that they cannot get their Xbox to connect (&I can't connect to my wife's one). I thought I'd ask Noel Leeming if they had any sort of money back guarantee - answer is no. Bugger. Been waiting 5 years! #Xbox #LGOLED

Occasionally I think to myself "What would I think if I suddenly found myself back in 1985?" Crappy computers yes but no USB would be a right pain (although there were almost no peripherals in 1985 so maybe not :-))

Happy Easter! Hope the Easter kaiju visits you all.

#Rstats people - is there anyway to get R Studios file open and project open dialog boxes to open in a specific directory? All my code is in ~Dropbox/Code/git and so I'd prefer that is where it looked first every time.

Oakura Bay, Northland this evening. Quite wild surf for this place

Reckon I just missed this fortunately for us. Was at the top of the Brenderwyns at 3.03pm

It's a Christmas Tree okay!

No, this is what a dictatorship looks like.
