@valhalla This is quite funny.

"Partly cloudy!
Partly cloudy!
Partly cloudy!
Weather Forecast!"

@valhalla Yeah it's a bit of a rollercoaster here. It will be up in the 30s next week.

The #Canberra overnight min is 5 degrees.

Christmas Pippin says Santa’s reindeer actually love cat food, so leave a plate of that out this evening.

This just in:

Cats' tummies are very fluffy.

(Survey conducted between the 21st and 21st of December 2025. Sample size = 1)

Cats have the patience to sit in dark rooms and stare out the window for hours.

Also, they absolutely *do not* have the patience to wait the last 30 minutes before food time.

Find someone who looks at you the way a cat looks at you just before dinner time.

@treleanor I got one yesterday.

My house-sitter says the cat hasn’t forgotten me.

“Yes… thank you. It’s ok to cancel it. I probably don’t need that emergency flight to Canberra just yet.”

Maybe I could be the person who rings the bell at the end of tea break, and herds the nerds back to the conference talks.

I’d be a good nerd herder.

When do you put the bin out?

@igisho Yeah it has some practical uses. But the results of the recommended internet search says:

“How is gold primarily used?

Gold is mostly used in luxury products and as a unit of value. More than 90% of gold is used in jewelry, stored in central banks or held by investors.”

I don’t really understand the stock market.

My confusion starts at “Why would you invest in gold? It’s not useful for anything” and gets worse from there.

@dgar (it’s kinda Saturday tho)

#CatsOfMastodon Friday Pippin is a normal cat who is not planning anything wild for later this evening.

I might be grumpy because there is too much fur in this house.

I should vacuum.

Is it ok, in a professional environment in Australia, to use the word 'Modernized' with the 'z' instead of an 's'?

I gotta say, I find email summarisation one of the more egregious uses of AI.

The reason I sent the extra long, very detailed email, was because I am concerned the recipient is lacking understanding in the topic.

“Summarising” it, and turning up to the next meeting still not understanding the topic, causes my vision to turn red and that siren from Kill Bill to play.

@valhalla @diegor I love Brütal Legend. I explored the world to find everything, which was easy to do with the awesome soundtrack.

I guess there’s a few ‘Third Year Anniversary on Mastodon’ events coming up over the next few days.

Mine will be tomorrow.

To keep things simple, Mastodon was the first time in a long time that I was using social media and consistently enjoying it.

Cheerio to all the folk whose posts I enjoy!

Cheerio to all the folk who enjoy my goofy posts!
