Are you a triangle or a square? It depends on your point of view.

In case you ever wondered why my spelling is so dodgy, I have the perfect excuse:. Or I could just have poor spelling ability. Luckily AI seems to almost work at correcting my spelling, well it used to until it started rewriting whoel paragraphs.

Electricity generation, UK, week to 4th July 2025. Almost 60% of generation on the 28th from Wind and Solar. Imports very low on 28th, then very high on 29th. @WolframResearch notebook here: . Data @neso_energy

Morning after the BBQ night before, which is a bit fuzzy, the Aussie wine we had was a Taylor's Jaraman Shiraz pushing 14.5%, a delicious gift. A sunny Winter's day (heading up to 23C), for our last weekend here on Hawken Drive in St Lucia, before moving to our new home.

Mid-winter in Brisbane - today was about 20C (a good summer's day in the UK) and even this evening it was relatively warm. Definitely time to try cooking our first BBQ in Oz, and have a break from house moving, (despite a few local sceptics thinking it is cold. )

Midwinter in Brisbane, currently sunny and at midday is about 20 deg,. Barbecue time! or at least learning the ways of the barbeque time. First stop is the B&Q of all Australia, Bunnings which is bigger and has a much larger section of pool maintenance items!

Successfully swapped fridge doors as advertised it would be possible. However no instructions, thanks @lg . , very fiddly, almost as if they wanted me to pay them to do it. Youtube to the rescue. So much for supporting self maintenance.

Almost five months in Oz and our home hunt in Brisbane was successful. This is just to create a record of memories before we move in. By luck, our container arrived in the Port of Brisbane, now one quarantine away from being reunited with our possessions.

A warning for universities in the UK and e.g. Australia where governments think limiting overseas students and fixing fees works. Unfortunately for Dundee this is a partial sticking plaster on a fundementally broken UK funding model.

Is it possible? it could be so: head tracking is relatively easy, there are single user applications like gaming, and stereo is much cheaper to generate (especially if you use AI tools.).

Electricity generation, UK, week to 13th June 2025. Overnight Tues to Wed without Solar or Wind, plenty of Gas used to fill the gap. Coal is 0% of generation; the YTD ranking is not meaningful. @WolframResearch notebook here: . Data @neso_energy

Winter in Brisbane is not all cold homes. Roaming around the Church of @Ch_JesusChrist at Kangaroo Point on Thursday, on the way to collect a new supply of beans from @abrisca_coffee_roasters.

Winter in Mount Cout-tha gardens, Brisbane, still verdant but with much reduced UV levels. The Fernhouse shelters many plants from the current "polar blast" with nighttime temperatures as low as 7 °C this week.
