    Goodbye instagram

    With the latest round of crap going on with Facebook, and Zuckerberg’s apparent resolve to join FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp, into one platform, I can no longer justify keeping Instagram around.

    Today, I finally bit the bullet and deleted my Instagram account… 👋🏼

    🔗 It’s So Cold Out! Where’s the Global Warming?!

    Whilst The Day After Tomorrow is a movie, there’s actually a good chunk of actual science in it that explains exactly what is happening in parts of the US currently. Just because it’s not warm, doesn’t mean there’s not global warming…

    Is anyone else who has customised their CSS seeing the error message;

    🔗 Paying tribute to the web with View Source

    I owe much of my career to View Source. It’s what got me started with web development in the first place. Going to sites that I liked, learning how they did what they did.

    I LOVE View Source, I pretty much use it everyday!

    🔗 Japanese government plans to hack into citizens' IoT devices

    Many have argued that this is an unnecessary step, as the same results could be achieved by just sending a security alert to all users, as there's no guarantee that the users found to be using default or easy-to-guess passwords would change their passwords after being notified in private.

    Look, there is a certain merit to what the Japanese Government has proposed, however, it’s not a huge leap to suggest that this “audit” will end up in the wrong hands at some point in time, nor that it will actually lead to people fixing their security flawed passwords.

    Mark my words, this will not end well…and nor should it

    Hard to disagree with those results.

    ⚽️ First training session for the year done and dusted! Here’s @travispacker making a strong save.

    Watching: Runaways: Refraction (S1.E7) 📺

    At Atlas' Open House, the parents and kids are thrown together following the revelations of tha gala. But for one family, the school event is only the beginning of the drama.

    Watching: Runaways: Metamorphosis (S1.E6) 📺

    At the PRIDE gala, the kids set in motion a plan to expose their parents for good. As the evening progresses, everyone's personal drama threatens to drive the plan off course.

    🔗 No More Google via Adactio

    Privacy-friendly alternatives to Google that don't track you

    Gmail is pretty much the only Google application that I still use regularly, and whilst I’ve got my own domain, hosting, etc. I don’t know if I want to host my own mail server…

    ⚽️ Diego Castro stars as Glory beat Jets 2-0

    Disappointing performance by Newcastle last night in Perth. The current central midfield pairing is not working, we’re not turning defense into attack nearly fast enough, and our forwards aren’t getting good opportunities on goal.

    Random insult/sledge from my 9yo Son, @travispacker, just now, “go sniff a fish” 😂

    In hindsight, I wish I had of registered my matpacker.blog domain with Hover, instead of with my webhost, as apparently it will take 7-10 days for my webhost to transfer it to Hover, which is a total pain now that I want to make some DNS changes.

    I love watching the Bundesliga this time of year, well mainly Borussia Dortmund, it’s cold, it’s some times snowing, the stadiums look like they’re made for football, and the crowd is hugely passionate. It’s just so different from the A-League. ⚽️

    My attempt to make a 3-cheese omelette didn’t quite work out, we only had 2 different cheeses… 🤦‍♂️

    🔗 Pure CSS Lightbox

    Would this work on micro.blog, will have to test it later on.

    Yep, it’s a warm one today! ☀️

    Very disappointing, though not entirely unexpected given all the injuries Australia have had…
