   Something I was talking over with a friend a while ago was something along the lines of this. Where you could set a list of various meals that you like to eat regularly, a list of like 20 meal options. And then the app fetches the pricing f

   Oh really when did that come out? I remember missing Foobar when I switch to OSX about 15 years ago before switching to Spotify not long after.

   It's the 100% down to the price. As a family of 4 with 2 young kids we more or less get the same thing each time, 2 Combos and 2 Happy Meals. That was pushing $50 NZD last week. Not that shopping at the supermarkets are any better here

   I was at the supermarket here last night about the time it kicked off. It seemed payWave was down, there were a few people walking out empty handed as they only had Apple Pay, etc on them. But the vast majority of people seemed fine, my chi

   Oh neat. Overcast is one of the couple of pieces of software I’m happy to pay a yearly subscription for. I especially love being able to load my own audio files on.

   I remember putting my lunch box on my desk one day and accidentally doing something that ejected the CD tray, nachos all over the office.

   Yeah that was really odd. I read another version earlier and it mentioned "near Otago" then I see an island that looks remarkably like Taieri Island in the background.

   I spent hours watching some of these ~10 years ago via their Youtube channel. WARNING: video shows a man dying - One that stuck with me is Franz Reichelt's "Death Jump" where he tests a parachute he has invented by jumping of

    Here I am still using my trusty old GitX for commits, it hasn't been updated in about 10 years :) maybe I should stop being such a tight bastard and make the jump.

    I found Disney+ pretty bad when it launched but these days I don't have any issues, other than finding something new to watch.

    This takes me back. Dad was a plumber so I had ready access to all the gear for this growing up. I was introduced to it when he turned up at home one day with one, we launched a few spuds into the neighbouring paddock using Mum's hairs

    How’s the rigidity of the z/y axis? I’ve got a bit of an issue on the one I made where the y axis can twist slightly and causes the z axis to be a bit higher / lower depending on if it’s pushing or pulling through a cut.

    I tried this out a couple of years ago as more of an experiment than anything else. $20 for a years worth of Argentinian YouTube or whatever it was. Within a couple of hours they locked my account and kept my money.

    What do you mean when you say 'resisting the urge to over-monetize' in this context?

    So good. I had only ever played a couple of games in my life, mostly in a small pub here. I jumped into a game at a tech meetup in London about 15 year ago where I quickly found out that spinning the rod/players isn't allowed, the

    A couple of months ago I brought a cabin on a trailer which is to become my home office in the backyard. I managed to get it off the trailer and onto some skids yesterday. This weekends job is digging a trench for a network cable from the h

    I’m only mentioning the ones I haven’t seen mentioned here so far The Ultimate History of Video Games - Steven L. Kent - loved this. Sid Meier’s Memoir was good. And not really a must read but I enjoyed David Kushner’s Jacked about the Gra

    When I was about 8 years old I can remember walking into the office at home this game was on the screen. One of the fighters was flying towards an airstrip and I thought I'd helpfully land it, I crashed. Turns out dad had it on autopil
