  If you're a sewist in Australia it's getting harder to find decent fabric supplies in-store, now that Lincraft is going online-only. But give Spotlight a miss (and Anaconda and Harris Scarfe) "It was reported in the news today that Lincraft has gone into administration and all stores will be closed. A lot of you are probably thinking of switching to Spotlight. I would encourage you to know first that Spotlight Group was founded by two Israeli billionaires. One of the directors of...

  If you're a Wacom user on a Mac, do NOT upgrade to Golden Gate. All you get is some AI crap, more liquid ass nonsense and having to use a freakin mouse like it's the stone age because your tablet stops working. I don't have admin rights on this machine, so I'm going to have to beg IT to install it, but does anyone use Open Tablet Driver on Mac? Is it worth the paperwork I'd have to do to get it installed? #MacOS #Wacom #OpenTabletDriver

  Looking at Marmite as a static site generator, and being dismayed that it's shockingly easy to get it installed, set it up, and learn how to use it, because now I have to actually do the work of creating the content. Why didn't somebody warn me? #marmite #ssg #FOSS

  Today we went to not only the best contemporary art gallery I've been to in Tokyo, but possibly also the strangest. Without any prior knowledge and just because it was close to where we were, we thought we'd give the Ueshima Museum in Shibuya a go. It didn't start well. To enter you have to get a QR code emailed via a website which involves the usual Japanese rigmarole of providing waaaaay too much personal information (you should absolutely lie about everything but your...

  Finally got to B-Pump in Tokyo. It's bigger than anything in Australia, but I gotta say, the bouldering gyms in Melbourne beat it in lots of ways. Spoogy holds, OK but not brilliant setting, and the facilities were pretty poor. My gym in Melbourne has a sauna, weights gym, and three types of water on tap, at B-Pump there aren't even showers and you have to buy water from a vending machine. #Climbing. #bouldering

  I'm making a pattern for a bouldering chalkbag in Inkscape, and I was laying out the pages so that they would tile for my printer by hand, and thought to myself "this is going to take *minutes*, I bet that in only a few dozen hours I can write a script to do this automatically". So I wrote my first Inkscape extension. It overlaps pages with optional registration marks. The extension, and the chalkbag pattern are up on my codeberg. https://codeberg.org/stib/stibs_inksca...

  Pretty sure someone here wants this Pantone keyboard and mouse set for ... reasons. Get on down to the Hobart City Mission superstore in Moonah before it's gone. #keyboard #lutruwita #OpShop

  Can we have a minute to ponder how cursed the Tasmanian footy team's mascot is? Pretty sure this came from one of those weird early Miyazaki films that used to frighten my kids. #lutruwita #AFL

  RE: https://aus.social/@mzungu/116339045609573062 This explains a lot. All my favourite shop tools are a slightly more saturated tone of that green, I suppose it's connected.
