Strictly speaking, this particular example worked itself out way back in 2014 but I only became acutely aware of it recently and once again is an example of what happens when your throw something out. Back in 2013 or so I bought an iPad and loaded it up with a […]

I made a pizza for tea tonight. I cut out a section for Chris so that I could make a ham and pineapple bit for him and the rest I made into sort of a supreme for Mum and myself. I forgot the onion. It turned out pretty good, but […]

It’s too late for me to be writing this now and I want to go to bed so I will talk about it later. One Day Later… There’s a little space between the kitchen bench and the bookcase upstairs that is currently full of random stuff – phone chargers, cables, […]

So I was all set to write a smug little self congratulatory post about how I’m a galaxy brain for never throwing anything away and oh would you look at that, something I’ve kept for years finally came in useful but actually, as it happens, the thing I was going […]

Many years ago, like maybe 13, I was sitting in the restaurant at Cicerellos when my sunglasses dropped onto the concrete floor and cracked one of the lenses. They were unserviceable but I kept them because I… was an idiot who didn’t want to throw away a $300 pair of […]

I added a call to print the memory info in my Pico LED array program and found something interesting. As long as the program only used integer maths, the memory usage was rock steady. But whenever I used float operations, such as making a call to random.random() or doing other […]
