It’s desk. Which I don’t have. But it’s mine.

Printer Panic
This is how the Bastards get you… We’ve bought a couple of Canon MG3660s – because they’re cheap. And also because not one of them has lasted more than a ream of paper. They perish in the same way – there’s a scrinch noise, paper stops feeding and crumples up inside, open them up at…
The Crunch Has Come
Not to put too fine a point on it, but: The crunch HAS come, for my account on the virtual server I run this magazine and the OHaiCorona.com blog. I’m still paying pretty much all the fees associated with it, and now the size on disk is approaching the limit. I can’t afford to jump…
Tamam Shud
Sometimes things just beg for a quick comparison – in this case, an Aussie mystery almost eighty years old now but apparently solved, and an Aussie surf band turned psychedelic and prog rock band. And some words from Edward FitzGerald’s Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Khayyam was a Persian poet whose 800 years old works (at…
CrowdCrunch.
(for immediate release) You know when the name’s so perfect? That you can’t get a great title out of it? “Crowd Strike causes Cashless Crash” – that’s just so twee and headline-y. But I managed an ever-so-twee headline in any case. Jump in, the trail’s still warm! You Know What I’m Talking About. Thousands, probably…
Cash or Crash?

Not just because while they admit that they’re doing 47% less work from branches, and have closed dozens of branches, in the last four years, their fees haven’t actually moved downwards, have they? In other…
Homeschool Academy For Sure
I received this charming email yesterday, asking me to link a page into an old existing page on my blog. Hello, I’m Ms. Jxxx Wxxxx, a homeschool instructor. During discussions on the Sleep Insufficiency resources, we recently discovered your webpage (http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/xx-december-2020/), finding it immensely helpful for our class.Ada, one of my students, came across an…
Off Course Discourse
List of podcasts included at the end. I’ll start with a nod to a podcast that was mainly on politics and media but digressed momentarily to colonialism, and then returned to a career in news and political news – the 2024 John Button Oration, introduced by Natasha Mitchell on the Big Ideas podcast, and delivered…
A New Post On Ko-Fi
I’ve placed a post on Ko-Fi to let people there know about the TEdASPHERE Globe and hoping that it’ll bring more people to also become a member here and subscribe to the newsletter from here, both are, and always will be, free facilities here. The newsletter will let you know (on your schedule and only…
Let’s Go Out With Style!
Was wondering how best to handle the change-over from my scattered blogs to here on the TEdASPHERE Globe, and came up with an idea. It all started so innocently…. Posting that on Mastodon (Okay – tooting that on Mastodon) started a little cascade action that ended with a guerilla action. Online acquaintances started chiming in…
