It is utterly heartbreaking to see so many of Tasmania's biologically sensitive areas being razed by fires. It's going to take a long time for those areas to recover, and some never will.

Hey @warkolm@twitter.com quick Q - can elastic stack do any alerting at all - e.g. to email, without buying the x-pack?

Stella is not at all being ladylike. She does however have a very. fluffy. tummy.

Dear all, I am humbled and proud to tell you that I have accepted a role as Tasmanian Chief of Staff for Severe Weather Australia, who can be followed @SevereWeatherAU@twitter.com. Really looking forward working with Tassie Storm Chasers. #weather #tasmania

Video Editing Update: You may remember me talking about needing a video editing app that was a bit better than #iMovie but didn't have the price tag of #FinalCutPro? Today I found it and it's called LumaFusion - https://luma-touch.com/lumafusion-for-ios/

What is particularly Interesting is that it is #iOS based, and not MacOS. at $30AUD, it was a no brainer.

iPad Pro's are really edging closer to replacing a laptop!

Very frustrating listening to people rag-chewing on FM satellite passes for the entire pass. Other people want to make contacts too! #amateurradio #hamradio #amsat

First day back at work since Christmas. Already struggling pretty badly due to opening glasses case to find no glasses.

New toy arrived in the mail - and something I have wanted for quite a while! a very shiny 0.1-600Mhz Antenna Analyser! https://www.vk7ben.id.au/2019/01/08/hands-on-with-the-mini-600-antenna-analyser/ #hamradio #amateurradio

First Day in several weeks I have held myself fully accountable on MyFitnessPal.

I've really noticed that not tracking what I eat has caused my weight to fluctuate wildly, with the net result being a plateau for the last 3 months.

Time to knuckle down and get serious again.

I have spent wayyyyy to much time the last few days doing radio club administration. I think a good 20 hours or so. Thankfully the yearly membership renewal period is winding down and I think I am on top of the AGM stuff.

Somehow I ended up here for dinner. First time in about 8 years. and I actually enjoyed it because it wasn't all crammed into the shed like the last time I went. #tasteofTasmania #hobart #tasmania

Well I know I have said this for 2 years running, but I really want to do more photography this year.

Happy New Year from #Hobart #Tasmania #photography #fireworks

Last Sunset for 2019. Happy New Year All. #photography #nye

So I appear to be all by myself again this NYE. I can't say I am happy about this. I just seem to have fallen out the circles where you would get an invite to someone's place for NYE dinner and celebration. The groups I was in have families now, so different priorities.
I also do not want to be that guy at a loose end begging for someone to let them visit in desperation.
Maybe next year it needs to be me to host the party, rather than expecting others too.

Correction to last post, that was #AO91!

Worked ZL2TWS on #AO92. Fantastic satellite pass and I was able to maintain a strong signal for nearly the entire pass!
Also heard: ZL1WN, VK3JMA, VK3XAB

I have to say, running #InfluxDB + #Telegraf + #Grafana all in #Docker containers to monitor networking via SNMP is a far cry from using #MRTG 10 years ago.
