2014 — 27 November: Thursday
Junior has raised a support ticket1 in an attempt to get 'molehole' back on the external air. I've no great wish to start re-hosting my own webserver but that remains an option. Meanwhile, there's supplies shopping to be done ahead of today's lunch date.
News...
... from Big Bro of his "first swim of the season and awakening to a glorious morning", and reassurance from niece #3 that "it's always hot in WA if I need a change of scene as I prepare for a long cold winter" does nothing to change the fact that the tops of the local set of electricity pylons were shrouded in a colloidal mass this morning. Some like it hot. I prefer it cool.
Nothing new...
... in this transcript of a talk by Martin Rees, but it's a worthwhile overview of various potential end games and problems. Mostly playing out after my own departure, I don't doubt.
I recently noted...
... both the books discussed here. The painful lament of the pre-empted author rings amusingly true.
I strongly suspect...
... the two DVDs waiting on my doorstep this afternoon...
... will be a lot funnier than yesterday evening's "Stoker". Though it made interesting viewing.
Comedic genius!
