I envy people who have high energy. They can achieve so much.
High energy and strong motivation, you got both then you are unstoppable. I have neither.
I was just wondering how can I be doing so much housework yet seem to achieve so little
Nail in tyre in the non repairable zone. 😪
At least the TPMS is reporting normal pressure values in the past 4 hours. It should survive before a trip to Bob Jane tomorrow morning.
Ok so I need some opinions on these music backs for Beat Saber.
I’ll one day pick them all up but what priorities should I put them in?
I’ve picked these because they appeal to my musical tastes and seem like fun to play around with.
Below are the packs with what songs are in them.
Let me know what you think!
Lady Gaga
Alejandro, Bad romance, Born this way, Just dance, Paparazzi, Poker face, Rain on me, Stupid Love, Telephone, Edge of Glory,
Rock Mix
Born to be wild - Steppenwolf, Eye of the Tiger - Survivor, Freebird - lynyrd Skynyrd, I was made for login’ you - KISS, Seven nation army - The white stripes, Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana, Sweet child O mine - Guns N’ Roses, The Pretender - Foo Fighters,
Queen
Another one bites the dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, Crazy little thing called love, Don’t stop me now, I want it all, Killer Queen, One vision, Somebody to love, Stone cold Crazy, Where are the champions, We will rock you,
Edit : this is frustrating. The formatting on my phone app is all stuffed up.
Having looked up what that is (kinda Wii let’s dance and various raving rabbits levels)
I’d pick Rock first simply for diversity, but suspect GaGa will prove most fun and athletic
I’ll try and give an explaination.
It’s a virtual reality game where you wield light sabers and slash blocks in time to the music depending on difficulty.
There’s also walls you have to dodge from left to right or squat/duck under.
It’s super fun and even better if you like the music.
Me last night being a doofus
I’ve had the Rock Mix for beat saber on the occulus and it was a lot of fun!
Queen and Rock Mix sound like fun.
Holy shit. The one with Freebird. Would love to see someone nail that solo in beat sabre!
I took Force’s unwanted great day today and it was rather meh so I can understand why it was rejected.
Had a mix of running around to do laundry for stuff I couldn’t do at home, and working from multiple places. The office was completely empty, which was weird and off-putting, but I was glad someone turned up at the end. Had my first in person conversation in quite a while. My body needed it but that has also now exhausted me, so I think it’ll be an early night for me.
Tomorrow is the early start day. I dowanna… I also really don’t feel ready to handle the drive again, after today’s brief but awful time on the road, but I’ll have to. At least I have my nice android auto unit to make it more bearable!
I think the next few days are still going to be slow. I am definitely not 100%. Stupid blasted night time cough be gone already.
watching the Vocalyst do reacts to John Farnham and honestly this woman is just lost in the sauce as soon as he opens his mouth. I don’t know whether to laugh or be humbled by how much we just take farnsey for granted
Hi Everyone! I had a computer disaster on Friday, and had to replace my home computer. And then sign in again to the DT. Aaaaaannd I’d forgotten my password, so I had to re-register and therefore am now the Witch of Thornbury instead of Thornburywitch. Will organise cute ID piccy as soon as I discover one. Suggestions welcome.
Do not talk to me about resetting my network access password - there are some things that are better left unspoken. This includes Optus Customer Service - which falls into the three lies for the price of one category imo. On the good side, the nice people that sold me this device removed all the bloatware - I am deeply grateful.
Perfect! OK to use it??? I assume it’s street art somewhere? This is much better than the smiley face with a hat I was going to go with.
Oh no TW (or I guess WoT now), that sucks! I won’t give you any lectures, but if you’d like some (lecture + judgement free) suggestions on backup or password management software, just let the DT know. Most people (unfortunately including myself) don’t set these things up until it’s too late, but they’re pretty simple to set up, and low maintenance in the long term if you choose the right software
As for ID, I reckon a broomstick will be sufficient. That’s how we’ll be able to tell if you really are a witch or not. As for whether you live in Thornbury or not, have you ever used a form of transport that isn’t a train or tram since your move?
Of course! You are NO ONE in Thornbury without your ebike! Also, last Halloween I attached my old racing saddle to the dyson and left it near the door where the little trick or treaters could see it. Also their parents. I did get asked about it, and explained that the nice young man on late night television said that it was sooooo much faster and more efficient than a broom and that I fully agreed with him. Haven’t seen them since. Which was sorta kinda the point. 🧹🛑
I actually like the new name. Something much more grand about it.
Thank you! Was toying with The Witch of The North, but there’s a bit of competition and that I cannot be bothered dealing with.
We need to see some identification
Show us the tapestry!
Need to talk to Seagoon about tapestry.
Eh, crud. Sorry.
Boo! Wait until Halloween - I’ll show you identification! The wasabi peas will be quite sufficient.
How would you describe the music of Rolling Stones?
Circular. Just keeps repeating on you.
Can anyone fetch me a coffee? I’m pinned under a purring cat.
edit: it’s more snoring cat than purring TBH
Edit 2: it’s OK now, I accidentally hit play with sound on a video of a steam train pulling into the station, Miss Meow decided it was prudent to move out of the way of the train. I’m now back with both my coffee and a cat on my lap, currently purring (may soon morph back into snoring)/
I need a coffee, sadly I don’t have a purring cat.
Canoe slalom is very entertaining, but what a bonkers sport. I wonder how many drinks were involved in coming up with it.
Yeah that’s some serious white water rafting there. Glad our Jess Fox got in!
our On some level I HATE this. “our” Chloe Covell sounds creepy as shit! But I do love how we embrace them. No matter the sport, you are a national hero whilst you compete.
I don’t think it’s creepy. I think it’s endearing.
but is it ever used in reference to men? isnt it always women? that feels wrong.
I’ve heard it in reference to men, but as a collective. “Our Socceroos”, “Our boys” etc. I can’t think of any examples where it was used in reference to a single male athlete.
Mrs and i went and drive around a new estate yesterday. There are hundreds of homes! I knew they were building stuff, but all you can see from the highway is half a dozen new places. All look at LOT nicer than our mid 2000’s build, but they have no supermarket, no doctors, no daycare, nothing. Our block might be a bit smaller, and all the houses might look the same, but I think I almost prefer our “jack off all trades master of none” home than something really awesome 15 minutes drive away from everything.
If it makes you feel any better, they’re probably all still missing insulation, have single glazed windows, and have zero noise proofing
Sorry, whats that? I cant hear you over the roar of the freeway :-D
Interesting turn of phrase you have there
Took the kids to Monsalvat in Eltham yesterday. The weather wasn’t ideal but it was still a great trip, it feels like you’ve gone back in time to somewhere in Europe.
And I do like the idea of a self sufficient artist’s commune
Has anyone used Wix to make a website? I’m thinking of creating an author website but have zero experience in making them so if possible I’d love to use something idiot proof and hear Wix is good for that.
@danwritesbooks @Seagoon_
I started out with dokuwiki but it unexpectedly stopped working. I caved and used the default wordpress. Wordpress isn’t actually popular, it’s just the default provided by most ISP.I have used Wordpress before and might have to bite the bullet. Wix is a bit too expensive for me.
I use Wordpress and it’s not that user friendly, but is achievable if you are willing to fiddle around with things. Different templates have different options, I spent a fair bit of time at the start just doing a rough sample and changing around various settings to figure out what they did. The biggest issues I had was using too many higher resolution photos at the start which slowed down loading times a lot, and at one point an upgrade broke a few things so I had to go through and re-link photos and I lost the side bar and shortcuts (which one day I will probably get around to recreating).
I had a client engage a web developer who in-turn used Wix to create a basic site. It was a pretty negative experience for us, but it was cheap to host. We had issues splitting off a dev/staging site in particular. It’s been about 6 years, my memory is foggy and the product may have improved.
Wix might be ok for a sole trader and a quiet website though. I wouldn’t recommend it for any business that wanted to regularly maintain/update their site.
I’ve been using Wordpress lately and there’s been a decent learning curve with that. I’ve persevered but it’s far from idiot proof. Have a look at Squarespace, that was the other option I was considering and is more beginner friendly. I think Wix is seen as cheap/tacky.
It started raining once I left the front door and stopped when I got home.
Samsies. Took the dog out, briefly cos of the rain, came home, dried the dog, rain stopped.
Hasn’t bloody stopped all day here. It’s light but persistent. It’s been three days, it’d be nice to see the sun.
I’m taking it as a signI should not be doing exercise today and should instead be distilling my wash
So typical Melbourne weather then designed to maximize inconvenience.
Taking today off ‘sick’. About to head out and get a big breakfast and coffee.
That should be just the thing to make you feel better.
I figured out how to export a list of the music people I listen to from Spotify and into a spreadsheet and I am having wayyyyyy too much fun with this.
I listen to 1,147 different people (on average that means each of them appear around 1.3 times in my liked songs playlist). Of those, 70 start with "The " (3 more start with “The” as part of their names, ie Thelma Houston)
I don’t even know who like 70% of these people are, they just happen to appear on one random song I liked on May 7th, 2021, and now forever reside on my playlist.
But there’s a JoJo, JoJi, Ruji, Bazanji, benee, war Paramore, Christian Wannerwall, 2 different doctors, 10 different dudes named John, and 3 little people (plus 6 lil people). One person is registered (®), one is incorporated, and there’s 2 people with $ in their names. And don’t forget Dan Andrews
I don’t know why I’m doing this instead of sleeping, but I currently don’t regret my actions
Spotify makes ‘fake’ bands that they then push on users so they don’t have to pay for the content, or licensing etc. They really are an incredibly awful bunch of scum lords.
No rain here. Think I will go out for a walk and do some shopping.
later 😘
