I was wrong, according to Wikipedia. Their definition of hyperinflaction is 50% per month.

Still, a 30% drop over a year cannot be considered stable.

Okay Brisbane followers. This day next week I will be in you for a couple of nights

Recommendations for Friday night/Saturday day time welcome

Staying in the city

Diane Morgan is one of those actors where you see an image of them, with a subtitle, and you can hear the accent.

Reminder... 'Cunk On Cinema' is out this weekend.

I remember struggling to stop laughing, with kids having just gone to bed, on my first viewing of 'Cunk On Earth'.

There have been various criticisms of the working conditions in Japan... but still.

Godzilla Minus Zero has a few dodgy effects, but generally looks as good as films with 10 times its budget.

#Godzilla

Godzilla Minus Zero's budget was believed to be between $13 mil and $18 mil.

The recent Monsterverse film 'Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire' had a budget believed to be between $135 mil and $150 mil.

I'm just saying, if it was Pippin Cat who caused the global outage for Microsoft Outlook, I wouldn't admit it.

Whatever compelling evidence there was that he was messing about with stuff that he shouldn't have... because he's a cat... I still wouldn't betray him.

Email restored.

Imagine it is 1999, and the Port Kembla steelworks has ground to a halt, and a young Tom Roberts is restarting processes on the Basic Oxygen Steelmaking Calculation server, and a manager keeps asking when it will work again.

Now imagine that instead of me and a steelworks, it was Microsoft and the global communications network.

I have eaten a bowl of chilli marinated tofu, mixed in with chicken flavour two minute noodles.

(vegan, apparently)

I can now see through time!

It seems like... I will... spend much of the weekend lazing around.

Good to know.

One more run and then I need a 🍺

G'day
It's been a day without copilot 🥳
A day without emails 😀
A day without SharePoint 😊

A lot was achieved without these "productivity tools" being available

Now if Microsoft can work out how to throttle services... 🤭😖
Things may be back to normal by Monday. Good luck rest of the world 🍀

Remember that you are unique, so look after yourself... don't worry about the tech giants and billionaires, they can look after themselves

Maybe take the time to appreciate the skills acquired in the before times "before AI"

Have a fantastic Friday 🧸 :blobhaj_cathug:

Apparently some people are missing some online services or something?

Mine are running fine, no #LLMs and no vendor lock-in.

Maybe #SaaS is not a great idea: surrendering, to an unaccountable corporation, control of the core that keeps your business running. No matter what country it's in.

Especially if they're going to commit to #VibeCoding vital software. Or fire thousands of workers in the belief they're not needed.

I gotta say, that Microsoft's outage has continued for this long, means they have some serious fundamental problems.

You would think that bringing servers online after they fall over would be the bread and butter of a cloud software company.

#Microsoft #Outlook

Still no email. I guess I'll go have a nap.

And here we were thinking Jensen leaving nvidia was the IT story of the week
Now pondering starting an antediluvian commune

Melbourne Hop Scotch be well broken...

So I guess Outlook is officially at only two "9s" of availability for the year.

I’m a super disappointed to Team Strawberry. (Vs blueberry) 😂 3rd in practice & daily event. At least I did better in the actual game. Tilt control games are evil & hard. 😭
