How time flies when you’re having fun, we’re personally really blessed to live in a safe bit of the World, with more than enough space, and access to nature… thoughts with those in more challenging environments.

Terence McKenna’s Time Wave Zero concrescence, time speeding up So much happening hard to believe it’s nearly the end of March Maybe this is time passing quickly to compensate for the slow passage that will commence from today 23rd March 2021, when we as a family began our COVID19 self isolation https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/23/kiwis-go-home-new-zealand-to-go-into-month-long-lockdown-to-fight-coronavirus Everything seems crazy and beyond satire with Trump, and Borris on other side of the Atlantic.

5 hours or so ago my Twitter account was suspended π Usually it gives me a prompt to enter my phone number… but not today! I have been suspended a couple of times lately due to re-tweets of ‘how to stream some sporting event for free’; if this is the case again I’ll have to look into how I can prevent my bot from sharing those in the future.

I’ve curated my Twitter feed to keep me up to date with my interests, and I’m stoked that other people enjoy the same things that I do & decide to follow my feed too. I cover a variety of technology, data science, and gaming interests… things that I like. Now before I drop make this point don’t get me wrong; I love animals. I’ve been a vegetarian, sometimes vegan, for…

I’ve been back to Blighty for July to see whΔnau, except for catching up with old friends for a gamer night my only digital fix has been DOTA Underlords. Then to postpone my gaming and gym training even more I injured my right trigger finger Monday Tuesday π Geek highlight of my trip was picking up a few old toys: Sony MiniDisk player original GameBoy (couldn’t find my GB Advance)…
