Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
I'm very very glad that this sudden and weird internet outage happened this close to five. Shitty that I'm WFH when it happened though.
Anyone else's network gone down? I'm with exetel in the northern suburbs on a HFC network.
EDIT: Welp, clearly something's wrong, given I called the support number 35 ago. Was supposed to have a haircut this arvo, but guess that's not happening until the weekend
I'm in Brunswick with Aussie Broadband, and my net seems to be okay. I mean, I'm connected to wifi on my phone, so I assume the ethernet connections are okay as well. Is there any outages listed on exetels website?
Not as yet, nor on NBN, but they can take a while to update their maps
I'm going to give you a URL which might ruin any plans you had for the whole day if you're anything like me: udio.com
I've been making ridiculous songs and it's in-fucking-credible how good it is. Get to know the tags you can use if you use the Custom function rather than letting it just generate its own lyrics and verses etc.
Have fun. Listen to some of the staff picks to hear what sort of things are possible. The first one I heard which blew me away was "Wow.... I Didn't Know That"
If I create anything to that calibre I'll let you know.
Wow I fucking love this. I don't know what I'm doing, and I doubt I'll make anything even halfway decent, but I love it anyway
Thanks B
Jesus. Another knife attack in Sydney. This time at a church.
No fatalities, just injured but thereโs a lot of agitated people for the community and riot police were deployed.
Still ongoing at the moment.

Pakige ๐ though it means I have to dash into the office when I was having a nice cosy WFH day. I am wearing trackies in protest
Taped to the front door of my workplace this morning - wtf?
spoiler
My workplace does not have a dog of any sort.
Very productive day today. Feeling chuffed at how much I squeezed in. Homemade pizza for dinner.
Makes up for the surprise start of suddenly finding out that school actually goes back tomorrow. Oops.
Ok random things update on random question:
The FOI dude provided me with their logic on not releasing AV locations. The crux of their argument boils down to "ambulance stations have less staff than police stations and store medication, and rather than calling 000, people may go to an ambulance station instead"
On the one hand that sounds sorta reasonable, but A. Some locations are listed publicly already, B. Ambulance stations are usually marked as ambulance stations and usually have... You guessed it.. ambulances in the vicinity. Also NSW ambulance locations are public, and I take it other states would be too
