So, now I'm a sci-fi writer. I'd like to say I sit on a mountain top dreaming of the future all day but, *sigh*, it gets a bit boring. So, talk to me, why not?

Anybody got any ideas for touristy things to do in Auckland in a few weeks' time?

Looking for an interesting, off-beat crime series for the holidays? Try my Luke Kelly novels. They're set in & around Brisbane, Australia and the unlikely detectives are an unemployed philosophy grad and an ageing ex-cop with a very dubious past. getbook.at/BrightCity #crime

So, Trump is back on Twitter. I daresay it won't affect me much since I never did follow him nor any of his MAGAts. However, I'm now slowly transferring my social media activity to Mastodon. Musk's ownership has poisoned Twitter for me. You can find me at @GrahamStorrs@aus.social

I've been taking a look at #Mastodon with a view to moving off Twitter. If you go there, you can find me at @GrahamStorrs@aus.social It's nice there, very Twitter-like but (after 24 hours) I'm still finding it mildly confusing. Still, it took me a while to make sense of Twitter.

I can't believe what's happening at Twitter. I don't care what is wrong or right with the platform. What Musk is doing is wrong. Disrupting the lives of thousands of people like that just so he can make more money is complete bastardry.

Wild weather last night. Brought down two trees across my drive. Had to go down with a chain saw so my wife could get to her morning appointment. Also one very tall tree behind the house just snapped in half! #LifeInTheForest

My email stopped working and I just spent two days working out how to fix it. I now know far more about POP, IMAP and SMTP, as well as TLS and SSL than I ever wanted to. Information technology -- especially comms technology -- is stupidly fragile and stupidly complicated. Grrr.

The whole ethos of Abrahamic religions is total and blind obedience to God (and his representative on Earth). It is inherently authoritarian. If you raise kids in this culture of obedience and worship, you are predisposing them to become followers of authoritarian leaders.

It is true all over the world: if you want to know what conservatives are doing in secret, or planning to do, just listen to what they accuse other people of doing.

Spent the morning cutting up fallen trees and dragging them away after last night's wild weather. Lost a couple of favourites and some garden furniture but no damage to the house.

Strikes me the biggest winners of this election are women. Loads more in Parliament, loads more focus on women's issues and the Libs already saying women are something they need to pay more attention to.
