On the river in the rain - beating a flood? I found a massive shoal of bleak - and sat on them hoping a pike was keeping her eye on dinner. Just one run - a fantastic aerial fight - this thing pulled like a pike three times it's size! Brilliant, season number three. And James has added The Fabulous River Wye to his 40 River Double Challenge. But he …

Tuesday 8th October 2024 Apparently I’ve become renowned for being “anti-DRT”. I can’t think why! Let me clarify. From a professional standpoint, DRT is a complete waste of public money – almost always costing more in subsidy than axed traditional bus routes due to them needing too much subsidy. Operationally, it’s hugely inefficient. From a passenger perspective it doesn’t offer reliability and consistency of delivery. But because DRT uses an …

And so to the rest of the layouts. Hobbs Hill had this dreadful warning! In front of a nicely sceniced Southern Region layout. A glimpse of Titfield. On shed at Newton Grove. Paystow is doing the rounds of exhibitions! Good to see the old Metropolitan Railway modelled on Wendover. And a more up-to-date version in Harefield Road. Much Murkel may be just another Great Western branch line, but it’s very …

Current status: ~500 unreads in my RSS feed (and that’s after some aggressive scanning and running through some of the higher-volume-but-lighter-weight stuff). ~100 open tabs of stuff to either finish reading, share, or process in some way. Inbox is read but I’ve got a handful of messages to still respond to (apologies if you’re waiting). Been terrible at keeping in touch in general, so you could apply that statement to …

My band saw came with a mitre gauge. I do not use it all that much, but it sure is handy sometimes – so I need to keep it nearby. And why not go way overboard and make it in a complicated way? Why? Because I can. I snagged a nice piece of oak from the scrap bin and cleaned up the best face with my hand plane and got …

Programming note: Bits about Money has been a bit irregular recently.I’ve recently booted up the Complex Systems podcast. It is now up to more than a dozen episodes, including interviewing my dad on real estate development (which is something of a BAM deep (curb) cut). The podcast features Bryne Hobart and other guests you’d probably enjoy on a weekly basis. Since I am more of a writer and very plausibly …

One specific activity kept me pretty busy during September – getting the Fleurieu & Kangaroo Island Sound Map up to date! Over the years, every update has taken a little longer to pull together. This is because of a few factors: I record a lot more sites that I used to. These site recordings made over a given period are collated together for a large/annual releases. This year’s update features …

Today we observe that the Israeli state under Netanyahu has spent a full year “defending itself” by killing a child every 48 minutes.

1. Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes - Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in treating type 1 diabetes by using reprogrammed stem cells. A woman was successfully treated by receiving a transplant of these cells into her abdominal muscles. Following the transplant, she was able to maintain stable blood sugar levels without insulin for over a year. This is the first time such an approach has shown to be effective in …

One of my favorite things about Go is its distribution process using the go install command. With go install, I don’t have to deal with the trouble of setting up brew, npm, pip, or any other package manager separately like I had to with some languages. It just works out of the box!Now a while back, I built a command-line (CLI) app in Go. I wanted to add a simple …
