Hopefully they will return it once normality resumes.
I was holding off getting tickets because I thought this might happen.

I basically ignored all of AB comments about going to watch this, and then by the time I decided that I should go watch it, I had resigned myself to the likelihood I would get shit seats. Which allowed me to hold off a little more.

The Spinoff seems to have backed off on its usual maramataka posts, yeah maybe posting how the state of my physical health is influenced by the Maori horoscope isn't what we need to be hearing right now.

I drank myself to sleep this morning and had a dream that I was a German and it was 1945 and I knew the Red Army was coming and I knew that if I stayed where I was it would be terrible but all the trains were gone and there was no way to leave and I woke up and the feeling of dread was like a weight on my chest

I can't even remember why we forked the thread. Was it when the forums were cgi and one big flat file was choking the server?

Pretty sure it was vBulletin with mysql - I thought that was one of the reasons that RT2 was started, because it was after the big switch-over.
EDIT: Knowing my brain that could EASILY be entirely wrong.

A bit of good news because there's fuck all of that around at the moment. Just got this on my Ngai Tahu mailing list:

Quote:
First tuatara hatchlings discovered at Orokonui Ecosanctuary

Two tuatara hatchlings have recently been sighted at Orokonui Ecosanctuary by University of Otago researchers and are the first to be seen since adult tuatara were released at the ecosanctuary in 2012.

Although tuatara hatchlings have been reported in fenced ecosanctuaries on the North Island, these hatchlings may be the first to hatch as part of a viable tuatara population on Te Waipounamu (the South Island) for several hundred years.

Mauri ora.

Ok - to do custom Teams backgrounds, drop your .png images into %appdata%/roaming/microsoft/teams/backgrounds/uploads

Then when in a call, click on the ellipsis, select "Show background effects", and after a short period of time (depending on how hi-res mental you went, and iot resizes everything) your pics should be part of the gallery.

pro tip you need to first use the backgrounds functionality first before the folder gets created in in your %appdata%

Awesome, thanks for that! I've been waiting for this feature. Well, this and a "raise hand" button.

One thing that corona has revealed is just how badly-served we all are in the videoconferencing space. Nobody realised just how shit the whole Skype Zoom Teams Hangouts Houseparty space is until we were forced to use it.

I drove across town to deliver some groceries to my mum and continued on back home via a loop past my workplace. An old familiar route I’ve done maybe a thousand times before only the roads are almost empty.

Had NIN playing at a moderate volume. Not sure I’ll ever experience something as spooky again.

Highly recommended.

Drove to the supermarket yesterday and while the roads were quiet, I'm seeing more people than ever walking the dog, with their kids, or out jogging.

I can’t provide much detail but spotted multiple email accounts compromised with old emails used as phishing. Is there something new going on? Potentially I’ve got a mammoth task going through them all and advising a bunch of people we have received their personal emails in error.

Nothing on the NCSC site, but I understand from a national mailing list that there are several phishing campaigns using old email addresses running at present.

This isn’t old email addresses, this is old emails stolen from peoples mailboxes.
