Watched Night in Paradise this evening. Brutal (as Asian gang movies often are) but odd pacing and dynamic with a smidge of romance. Kind of satisfying ending, but just tragic.

Also watched The Roundup. I’ll never get tired of Ma Dong-seokβ€˜s characters beating up baddies. The slapping in The Outlaws cracks me up.

Off to bed soon. Need to get some nutritious food into my engine, while the indulgent food might be tasty the sluggishness is not.

Night all. ✨

So the big clean up is still happening. I did a vicious prune of the pot plants, but it feels so light and airy now at the front door.

I didn’t finish indoors, but I managed to do a light carpet clean of the dining area and set up the table for a lovely cheese and gin evening for NYE.

I’m still slightly weirded out by following the conventional layout meaning the couch is right in line with the front door, but I cannot deny how crazy spacious it feels after all this time. And the relief on my eyes. Being further away from the idiot box has really helped.

Right now it’s:

  • Culling all cables to go to Officeworks recycle
  • Moving some old camera bodies on

In the pipeline:

  • Sort out misc crap
  • Hard clothing cull
  • Finally get rid of old HD that I was only keeping to sort old photos (very stupid, it takes me ages to get to the decision I should have made at the start).
  • Unused items to the op shop

If all goes well, next clean out will be the storage.

Thanks! Maybe?

I really was hoping to find an equiv in Bunnings since everywhere else is shut today. Worse case I’ll have to get it tomorrow, but I’d love to finish it today.

Thanks, but I don’t think it’s Kapton.

I’ve had to peel some flat cables off as I’m replacing the palm rest and peeling them off has left some very light tacky residue that obviously kept them in place. I need to secure them inside the new palm rest/casing.

Curious, what is it about butter you don’t like?

The laptop runs pretty hot so looking at thermal tape. (I also have normal double-sided tape, but I think it’s dead, LOL).

DDT Techies, what type of adhesive/tape is used inside laptops to stick down small flat cables? What is it called?

Happy New Year, DDT fam!

I don’t speak about it much, but this year has probably had both my highest of highs and lowest of lows. Thanks to everyone for making this such a great place both for staying generally/mostly upbeat and positive and for solid discourse when it comes up. I really enjoy reading everyone’s comments on the daily, even if it’s just about life in general.

I really wish everything the best that 2025 has to offer you, no matter how big or how small. We’re all doing our best.

Big love. πŸ–€

WTF: 4. AND 5.

I just have too many bad words… In more than one language, LOL.

Methinks it’s a shame there wasn’t several different instances of 3.

HNY! πŸŽ‰ To less FWs in 2025.

I really want to catch the ferry. I think you can take a bicycle as well, but they have like one trip a day.

I swear cashew cream is so good. Especially if you don’t have cream on hand or are a bit iffy with it. I soaked my cashews for about 15 min in hot water then just blitzed in the NutriBullet. Perfect!
