My once a year phone call from my local friendly (not) recruiter to check and see if I’m still happy with my job. Suffice to say he tried hard.

just had a brilliant conversation with an old colleague of mine about research outputs, usage and repositories in Australia. we had a version of of what my boss has a "brain fart". I'm a bit excited so hopefully someone at work runs with me on this one.

so..... why is SLV advertising for Volunteer "greeter"s? considering what is required it seems like a job to me not volunteer work.

I don't normally react to job ads but this Job Ad makes me sick, angry, ropable...

- Miscellaneous tasks for CEO – Personal & Business (from coffee to contract execution)

Here's the job ad for reference

Anyone in Tootland signed up to Up Banking? I’m hearing great things but just wanted to make sure it’s not some dodgy scheme 😀

So I accepted a nomination for President of the Linux Australia council. Let’s see how this goes shall we?

That feeling when you go to do work for the day, do all this prep work and get ready to push to prod and... work out that you don't have the permissions to do that work you've requested access for 2 months ago and was told it was done.

Doing a constitutional change via a pull request is perfectly legit right?

Freeze-dried tofu is weird!
