Most people would want to go straight to my computer collection or my photos on Flickr. Otherwise you can see what I have been doing recently:

So the third season of started airing tonight, but this was filmed as season 2 back in July 2023 (I was in the audience for this episode).

The pickup to intro this as season 3 is pretty good, I assume that could have been filmed even last week when season 4 did its studio recordings.

But then I looked back at the intro to season 2 and that is where there is a continuity error, I think this is the original season 2 intro spliced in. For the first few shots Tom has a pocket square and his chair has two egg shapes on either side of his head (as for season 3). Then for the next shot (and remainder of season 2) there is no pocket square and those shapes are now more like bones...

(yes, I have given this too much thought)

I had been procrastinating... but have now submitted an talk proposal about my approach to home automation. I think is a bit thin and needs to be fleshed out, but at least I submitted something...

The rear cap for Canon EF lenses was easy to use, but then the rear cap for RF lenses is annoying and has to be aligned in a single orientation, fortunately someone designed an alternative: printables.com/model/753277-mu

I decided that I really shouldn't be printing out shipping labels on my photo printer... so I took the sensible option:

Looking to get in contact with some Melbourne AU based enthusiasts. By the end of 2024 I need to find new homes for the remaining parts of my computer collection, specifically Apple IIc and early 90s Mac related... (my collection at its peak: computers.popcorn.cx/)
