Sunday. 2nd. Stu roasted a bunch of veggies which we had with some leftover lamb. MacGyver and photo stuff.
Monday. Awake from 4:33. The morning was spent pulling mail for an incident on the weekend. The afternoon was more workgroup db tidying. Leftover lamb and salad for dinner, MacGyver and photo stuff.
I forget how nice greek yoghurt is with food..
Tuesday. Day of all the BS. So much BS. I even lost it at lunch. Later in the afternoon Stu said I should ditch work and go birdwatching with him. So I asked Con. He said do it. So I did. It was good for my brain.
Logged back on for an hour when I got home so the hit on my flex wasn't tooo bad. Stu cooked up pea and ham soup for dinner.
Wednesday. Cisco training in the city. Except it wasn't really training, it was just a hands on lab. The lab was actually pretty good as labs go, and I managed to achieve the suggested work for the day (with more work that can be done in the next few days). Beer at Kingos with the sweetie then Disappointing Sushi.
Thursday. Tried to revise the labs from yesterday but nonstop interruptions all day. Drinks was pretty epic - heaps of temp staff came up which was great.
Friday. OMFG SOLAR EDGE IS TRASH!!!! We were scheduled for a power outage today (they were replacing a cross beam on the power pole in the neighbour's yard). So Stu told it not to discharge the battery last night. All good. They cut the power at 8:45. A second or two later the battery kicked in. Great. After the router rebooted I reconnected back to work and all was well. Until fifteen minutes later when everything went dead. Stu did a complete restart of the system but it didn't do anything. After nearly an hour I gave up and caught a bus to work (they said they were likely to be done by 13:00) as I had a heap of work I really wanted to get done. Stu fought with Solar Edge's system to try and get a support ticket in about the whole debacle (which he's still waiting to hear back from). The system is in la la land AGAIN. Every few days it just drops off the network so you can't see what it's doing. I HATE SOLAR EDGE SO MUCH!!!! I wish we'd gotten something different. So I get to work and get about an hour's worth of solid work in, then got an alert I had to spend an hour investigating. It's been a literal conspiracy to stop me getting this training done. Did managed to get some decent work done in the afternoon though. Everything is awful. Kievs and Black Mirror.
Saturday. Awake for a couple of hours from midnight. Had a heap of things on my todo list. Didn't do much of it. In the afternoon we headed out to Callum Brae Nature Reserve. Birds were being turds and hiding. Did get to see a heap of rainbow lorikeets though, I'd never seen them in Canberra before. And a cool photo of a spotted pardalote.
There's three of these powder magazines 100m apart near the Mugga quarry (used for storing explosives for the quarry)
Red-necked wallaby. Only saw one macropod, but a LOT of rabbits
Leftovers for dinner then watched Jurassic Park in honour of Sam Neill.
Sunday. Awake from around 5. Red in the morning.. shepherd's warning..
Weather was crap so didn't leave the house. So it was a house/hobby/photo kind of a day. I did finish one photo project though which was good. After several blissful weeks of windoze explorer remembering my folder settings, today it's forgotten them again (or at least one of them, another was ok). Why does windoze 11 suck so badly???
And just for fun.. last week the Riot-ACT (Region Media) posted this infographic based on AAMI insurance data for accident hotspots. Except they used AI to generate it. Hilarious! #fail It got pulled pretty quickly.
