I've been learning a lot about my cultural heritage while my cousin is here. Turns out there's a whole section of Egypt (where my father is from) who are incredibly stubborn, highly value their dignity and are highly self reliant.
Stuck the action camera on the bike for the ride to work this morning. The wide angle lense and the right shutter settings are already creating some great motion blur. I'm waiting for it to export on my phone to have a flick through it
Too late now, but a stinking hot curry about three days before seemed to help with the lower awfulness. I got this idea from a highly non medical book, YMMV
I think I saw someone steal a bike at the train station yesterday.
I walked up to the steps leading to the platform and past the bike rack where a guy was unlocking the lock. He looked up. He was struggling. He did it then rode away.
But that look at me. He didn't have a helmet. And it was 8 minutes since the last train. Takes 15 seconds to get to the bike racks.
I think he was just trying different keys until he found one that worked.
I can't prove it tho and what could I have done anyway. I was the only other person at the train station. I kinda feel bad for the bike owner.
New sub is a presonus eris 10 :) For its size it's kinda impressive. Only weighs 17kgs compared to the ol' behringer 2092A which is 33kgs. Sounds way better and a bit easier on the back to move lol.
Treat Review: Mars Bar Rice Crispy: If this was an actual slice, I'd be all over it. But as a Mars Bar, it kind of felt over complicating the Mars Bar and it felt messier. Quite tasty, might have again, but would prefer it as a little square on a bit of butchers paper...
Anyone had any fun treats lately they'd like to share?
The Old Gold Bundaberg rum choc is... fine. Wouldn't bother a second time.
The dark choc coated ginger out of the scoop & weigh thingy is really damn good! Really zingy batch. ⚡️
I haven't been snacking lately but every now and again Aldi have Scorched Peanut Bites so I picked up a box for YL to give to her dad for father's day. He asked her where she got them from "Aldi. I knew you liked them so that's why I got them". She didn't even come into the shop with me 😂. Anyway they are really really good.
To be fair it was his birthday 2 weeks ago so she was all out of ideas.
Small turnout in the office today so they got KFC in, it was worth riding I guess. I only wanted chips at most but I got affectionately coerced into having a burger the way women do
Oh I see now. Product placement has been a problem since the James Bond films and is now metastasizing through all culture. Civilisation is about to fall (for the umpteenth time).
In India iphones cost more than a basic car. It's outrageous
and yet, when I bought my first home pc it was really expensive. And a printer too. 1984 spent nearly 3,000 on the whole set up, in today's money that is 11,650. But for us it was an investment in a career .
I really have to lock in during the mornings at the office because this place gets so hot and stuffy in the afternoon you can't concentrate on anything
Rare roast beef and seedy mustard with a single spar of cucumber. Had it once from a sushi joint in the cbd - never forgotten, never found again - dammit.
The M-Vave FM-1 arrived. A quick tinker and it's pretty impressive; speaker battery, effects, sequencer. All for under $100. I have some of those Roland units like the E-4 that came out a little while ago, it's a similar footprint. I'll have to see how well they play with each other

Saw a nice t shirt on a lissome young lady on the tram. It read "Be a unicorn. Grow Up. Stab people with your head." Says it all really.

Integrating the new 10" sub into the studio tm.
Can't wait.
So it'll be 2 x 7" main monitors, 2 x 8" sub + 1 x 10" sub.
Doesn't sound like much but it will be BONE CRUSHING. Relatively small room / studio so me and my sternum's resonant frequency are ready. 🙃

Hmm good timing, one of the boys just brought this in and it’s surprisingly good. The watermelon hit is just right and too overpowering. Nice combo.
