New at my Patreon... I visited Waterloo, Belgium to research a story about its famous battle. I also learnt about the Lion's Mound - and why it annoyed Wellington:

@timrichards Because it changed the landscape a lot, reducing a ridge crucial to the battle - or because the French did it?

It's pretty obvious who didn't check the Melbourne weather forecast today. There are some bedraggled people on the street running for shelter.

If you live in you need to check the weather forecast because this is the place where you can get four seasons in one day.

@perkinsy As a Melburnian I scorn weather forecasts. Just be prepared for anything.

@perkinsy @timrichards Also “hybrid”. Rare office day today. Will actually be doing the “work has A/C” soon, so a bit of wet is nothing.

Right one last boring computer thing then I'm done posting about computers for a while, deal? deal.

So I've got a brain that spongs around like a pinball and if it ever twangs against a good idea or registers as something I'd better remember then I've gotta write it down. Some folk have like fancy programs on their computers to do Mind Mapping Weirdness and I've never, ever wanted that, I use plain text files stuffed full of notes and ideas and just put them in folders on my hard drive, then I sync them to and from my phone.

It's a system that's worked absolutely fine for me for years and years because it uses absolutely as little technology as I can practically get away with and it works on any machine that'll ever be made, but now I'm thinking I wanna use still use plain text files but be able to LINK them to each other, rather than writing, like, "See 2023-09-08-server-bollocks.txt" and I'd like to be able to search through these files.

So, like... that's Dokuwiki, innit? That's just Dokuwiki but I tell it it's storing its files in my /notes folder, right? Am I barking up the wrong tree here or is this what I wanna do? The text files will still be readable with my basic Dan Eyes without needing to squeeze them through some fancy software, right?

@ifixcoinops That’s what I use for this, though I do end up just using the wiki interface.

Having a drink with a friend at the Mitre Tavern. Look at these food prices!!! Gordon effing Bennett. Who pays $31 for a beef and Guinness pie?

@timrichards On/near Collins? That’s always been pricey.

    @decryption @jpm 3 seems rather generous.

    @decryption Answer is “no-one”, but I’ve definitely worked for bosses who think the answer is “everyone”.
