Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
New action camera arrived today too. Once I get some accessories I could use it as a B-cam with the Pocket. Set it up somewhere for b-roll and timelapses whilst doing actual shooting with the Pocket.
I just need actual clients now to justify everything
mmm, so since I take so many photos when I'm hiking and in a rough environment, sand, salt spray, very uneven and rough ground, I see so much that is moving, an action camera might be a good idea ,
it's just pics for me and the seagoons and for me to share here and thereabouts , nothing special
Ooh what action cam did you get? Just realised this is the second time today I've gone "oooh, what" and you know what, I stand by it. Hope your Sealion is awesome!
The DJI Osmo Action Pro 5. Saw there was a bit of a deal on it and decided to just get one. I'm starting to get more photography gear so I'll be set once i can connect it to my tripods.
My dumb short term idea is to use phone clamps since it has a front facing screen
weather is strange
Finally got the lawns done today. The grass was so thick t hat I ran out of petrol 2/3 of the way through.
Expensive habit.
Cheers 🍻
Went for a wander and a shop, started to get tempted by expensive things, so I had a whole conversation with myself and told myself to be financially responsible and head home before the trains get too busy.
Congratulated myself for making a smart choice and made my way towards the station.
Anyway, now I'm at a rooftop bar.
I'm at a point where I won't buy things unless i need them
not even pretty or awesome things , not even if they are a super bargain
exceptions are made for special occasions
Those projections I posted will be starting up soonish. Big one on hamer hall I didn't post. X
Nooooo, I'm already nearly home. Farrrrrk. I should have stuck around.
I did think of you today as I walked past one of the set ups and some tech/finance bro says "I just think it's wild that someone is paid for this art but it's just... lights." Like, DUDE.
Cheers 🍻 and have a great night!
Cheers babe / bestie / bae / brah / bebe (did I miss one why do they all start with 'b').
You forgot bitch. Also there's queen. I don't know why they all start with b. I prefer Mother Dearest. Cheers 🍻
Cheers, Mother Dearest!
#newcarday Let's just say I'll be whispering all my state secrets into this car so I can get an elevated position after the soft power takeover
Ooh, what kind of car? I want to love mine but all of the new tech just sucks the soul out.
BYD Sealion 5. It's a very practical purchase. Nothing too exciting. Although I will enjoy the adaptive cruise control and driving to and from work all on battery
I love it when drink day coincides with YL'S pet sitting. A whole weekend of not hearing bro, babes or bestie.
🥂Cheers. I am in another (warm) realm and have the day off so drinking day has started! Warm sun drinking is also awesome (and have been randomly adopted by a Vic family also at this table in this realm)
Cheers 🍻 and have a great time!
Minor dislike: getting tailgated by someone on the footpath so they don't have to look up from their phone.
Slow down and fart.
Scratch her head vigorously and watch them overtake you.
👀😅 oh shit that's me loooool, though not to look at my phone. Men tend to be better at carving a path through a crowd of pedestrians, as a short lil enby, it's easier to get around when I'm behind a tall guy.
No one sees me down here, so tall men are a blessing for me.
Also, next time, just drop your guts and I'm sure they'll gtfo quicksmart lol
Just had my head hunt interview. It was 2 hours and included doing a cold demo of a product I've never used before.
They gave me a basic business case and access to the software for the first time.
If I succeed they're willing to pay relocation costs to QLD.
Let's see how this plays out.
That's a really interesting way to do an interview. Aside from how long it takes it's probably a good way to do things
I've never had to do that before. I had 20 mins to prepare. Access to business case and then the software.
It was kinda fun. I like that kind of pressure. It's SaaS so it's not like it's some vague powershell thing lol
🤞
I've been in Melbourne for 10 years this time around and it's the longest I've stayed anywhere since I was in high school.
Might be time for a change.
Where have you lived before that?
I've lived in SA, Tazzie, country Victoria (which was my favourite).
In Melbourne I usually move house every year because I get bored lol
the five covid years didn't help
I was living alone for all of lock down. Literally broke up with my ex a week beforehand.
At least we didn't have to live together afterwards.
