To that end, I made a thing. https://open.substack.com/pub/eatinganelephant?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1i2gi08 Jan 2025 06:44 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lf7ktkrves2shttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3lcs47lsbz22pA great weekend, tinged with sadness. Caught up with some old friends over great drinks in cool bars. Lost a very old friend, who I'd not seen in years, to the ravages of old age. Devoured delicious comfort food. Caught a mate's band at a little local venue. That'll do, pig. That'll do.08 Dec 2024 11:28 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcs47lsbz22phttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3lcd22foiqf2jThe weird thing about leaving the Bad Place is I've had very little impetus to post much of anything. To be fair, I'd not been particularly active over there for the last few months either. I seem to be content to observe, given I find myself getting far less angry over here.02 Dec 2024 11:39 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcd22foiqf2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3lb2morh6222qNow that I've essentially abandoned The Awful Place, I'm already feeling more relaxed. I wonder if I'll translate that into spending more time doing that bloody writing I keep promising myself I'll do?16 Nov 2024 09:53 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb2morh6222qhttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3ladsocz54j25For those playing at home, the rissoles, mash, and broccoli were delicious and were paired with a gin and tonic because it's 85% humidity. Kid loved them too. "Dad, they're mostly beef but then there are other goodies. They're like a Kinder Surprise egg!"07 Nov 2024 08:09 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3ladsocz54j25https://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3ladm5wuiaz2fHere is some good, banal news which I think is very important you are all made aware of. I am having rissoles for dinner tonight, for the first time in well over a decade. I am quite excited about this.07 Nov 2024 06:13 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3ladm5wuiaz2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3labfjw55sh2gAaand I've already seen folks who like to pretend they're sophisticated lefties complaining about Albo congratulating Trump on winning. Apparently they think the way to help Australia through the next 4 years is by just constantly calling Trump a cunt.06 Nov 2024 09:09 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3labfjw55sh2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3l6rupmgmwj2dThose of us of a certain vintage remember that WinAmp had a visualiser thingy, creating "trippy" graphics to go with your music. Why don't modern music and radio players have that? It's ancient technology now and a lot more interesting than an album cover or radio station logo.18 Oct 2024 11:33 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3l6rupmgmwj2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3k3k6euslyc2kHad some visitors this morning.28 Jul 2023 00:23 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3k3k6euslyc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3k2kiarqqol23Cockroaches and a potato peeler?15 Jul 2023 09:54 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3k2kiarqqol23https://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3k24t4x74ja2fThe kind of person who tracks someone down on Bluesky with the sole intention of restarting a Twitter beef is exactly the kind of person who should not be on Bluesky in the first place.09 Jul 2023 23:32 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3k24t4x74ja2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3jzre5ojw6v2z10 games to get to know me: King's Quest Conquest of Camelot Prince of Persia Wolfenstein 3D Ultima VII: The Black Gate Ultima VII Part Two: Serpent Isle System Shock Half-Life Baldur's Gate 2 Red Dead Redemption 2 [contains quote post or other embedded content]05 Jul 2023 10:04 +0000at://did:plc:fb2vcadv3frfuvt5vysgovpi/app.bsky.feed.post/3jzre5ojw6v2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/gevauden.bsky.social/post/3jzr7tm4dfx2wOk, look. If you maniacs absolutely insist on calling them "skeets", the correct term for browsing Bluesky must be "skeet surfing".
