• England was the better side overall tonight. But the Matildas were still phenomenal. Kerr’s goal was extraordinary.

    A couple of mistakes and a couple of missed chances was all it took for the match to go the other way.

    Let’s see them take third.

  • Yes.

  • I’m still emotionally recovering from the Matilda’s match last night. What a game!

  • Feeling frustrated

    There’s this one PR agency with a few big tech clients that I’ve been chasing to get on the media lists since the start of the year. Different people, different clients, but I am yet to receive a release without having to chase them. They promise they have added my details (again, … read more

  • It has been about a month since I started at Compare Broadband, and I’ve slipped into a habit of doing an extra half day’s work on BTTR after I clock off from CB.

    So far it’s okay. My energy levels are good and I’m enjoying the work on my own site.

    But I need to watch it. This time last year, I was almost completely burnt out, and had little motivation for anything at all.

  • Words cannot capture my disdain for GA4. It’s ridiculous how shitty the experience is.

  • Side of the house is coming along infinitely better than the 10 previous attempts. Still a long way to go though.

  • At some point in the not so distant past, somebody vomited on the plane I just boarded.

    I can’t see it, but I can smell it.

    It lingers on the air, seemingly longing to repeatedly venture into my nostrils.

  • Australia’s snowy mountains may not compare globally, but they still looked nice flying over them this morning.

  • First flight since about 2019. Heading down to Melbourne for the new job.

  • For probably the 10th time since we bought this house, I have cleared the weeds down the side to try and do something down here.

    Now, I am sore.

  • Last night the family and I went to see Beauty and the Beast.

    It was amazing. It started a little bit slow for me, but it picked up. And both Gaston’s number and Be our Guest were among the most incredible musical performances I have seen.

    The wife wants to go again, and she might just get her way…

  • It’s been so long, it’s time for a life update

    The past few weeks have been hectic. I’ve been all over the place mentally, and things have changed fairly quickly. A quick summary: I got sick. Like, sicker than I’ve been in a long time. It took two courses of antibiotics to get me on the mend. Even then, the cough lingered, and I had to go get … read more

  • For the past few times the kids have gone to Nanna’s, the wife and I have tried to beat Box 2 of the Monster Box of Monsters expansion to Hogwarts Battle.

    Before yesterday, we had played that box 6 times, and lost every time.

    But yesterday, we prevailed. It was glorious.

  • Today was the first day in a week and a half I could do some work. It wore me out, but it sure beat lying in bed, coughing.

  • Finished reading: Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel by Beth Revis 📚

    I had a couple of great chuckles at moments I could definitely see happening in the days after Return of the Jedi.

    But it was a bit romancey for me. A bit too much of Han and Leia doubting themselves at every second turn, only to gaze into the other’s eyes before remembering they really do belong together.

  • I have completely lost this past week to illness. No work done, very little entertainment enjoyed. Just a week of phlegm and coughing.

  • This game did not go well for us. Too many expensive cards up front we couldn’t afford, devastating our ability to recover dark arts attacks.

    It was devastating.

  • I’ve been testing an air purifier for work for a couple of weeks now and… I think I love it? I was a bit skeptical going in, but the air seriously just feels better around the home.

  • Finished reading: Thrawn: Treason (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn 📚

    Finally got to read this - the boy was reading it so slowly before me. Couple of days later and I’m done.

    It was good. I feel like the sequel trilogy would have been much better having continued the threat of the Grysks over a cloned Emperor, but I also wonder if any of this will make it into Ahsoka.
