Supermarkets justifying record profits because of the many employees they have is bullshit. Supermarkets are “criminal.” It’s not just me saying it, it’s more or less official now. This post has had to be updated before it was even scheduled. The original post was everything below from the heading “Profit(eering)” to the “And Now –…
I’ve used the word “flockintech” a few times now, most of you will have gathered it’s a portmanteau word for “F’ing Lock-in Technology,” but how many people are aware of just how much flockintech we are actually stuck with already? And this also goes ,for our techie/geeky focus in my blogs, particularly for technology products…
Starting shed automation. I know, it seems to be ass-backward to not be finished with physical moving-in stuff and already planning the improvements, but I have to plan, and also it was a bad bones day so hard physical exertion was out. A propos of drawing circuits, I need a Windows app that I can…
Firstly, I’m trying out a “drop cap” style graphic at the head of each article that’ll allow you to tell which blog the repost came from when it’s announced on social media. If you find this annoying let me know, but give it a few days to see how it goes… Now on with the…

Now another icon has passed a milestone, but sadly it’s not exactly what you might think… It’s Not Vegemite So Vegemite was an Australian invention. It was modelled around some similar products but as far…
The iconic – and divisive – Aussie legend has been in production for 100 years. (Or out if you’re one of those people who can’t stand it.) The iconic (and no matter which side of the debate you fall, you can’t deny its status as a slightly tarnished Aussie icon) spread was born from a…
An acquaintance online has a very reasoned blog based around AI, including an AI they themselves have coded. This particular post to which I refer presents the arguments for AI being the thing that will end us, the “Doomer” viewpoint. As with every page of this author’s blog, it’s clear and concise and a good read….
It’s the “wash-up” at the end of the day. Ohh I have sooo been waiting to use that crappy dadjoke in an article! And here it is. You might first like to read about the tap, and the backstory/reason for this repair. TL;DR the house had two single taps, I wanted a mixer tap so…
When you’re making a mint from AI but can’t afford the space to store your audit trail… This company made software that unearths evidence trails that lead to convictions – but doesn’t store the evidence trails to show how it obtained the trails. Look – AI is hard. You can make a “black box” style…
