I got an LJ notification email haha. I nearly said "happy LJ birthday"...

Allow me to reassure you that other suburbs still have the power on (well, tonight anyway… yesterday was a different matter…)

For now I'll need to record the offset, and later convert it to a pointer... but post refactor I won't need that. Bah.

uugh, so I'm parsing a header entry that may or may not contain the location and extent of some auxiliary data in a block that I don't have yet at that point in the code... but I'm going to be doing a refactor in a few weeks that'll mean the block in question is already mmapped in.

It is indisputably terrible for fridges to show ads (and there's a heap of reasons I don't own a "smart" tv)

That said, that particular advert would make sooo much sense in-universe that I'm still giving the agency concerned mad props for it.

Very nice work.

It does look a bit on the green side in another photo they posted later.

Power is back now \o/

Haha guess who's in the 163.

Outage is up on the map now. Us and three nearby streets and the restaurants and gym in kings park.

No real eta yet, just the default "prolly about four hours"

E♭ E♭sus4!!! G♭, D♭!!! (sorry, had to belt out the piano chords there)

(admittedly not their finest hour :D)

OMG the absolute *shit storm* when a Perth alternative nightclub who played The Cure fairly often used 'that' Stranger reference when they came up with the name of an event that they noticed was going to fall on the 10 year anniversary of the unscheduled demolition of a pair of quite tall buildings…

(though my actual mental sequence is probably more "Oh, that's just dark cyan. Now what do normal people call that colour again?")

Yeah I just saw that one. It does look slightly more green than blue that context, but I think I'd still just call it teal and be done with it.
