🔗 Spanish Potato & Spinach Tortilla & Red Pepper Sauce Recipe - MyRecipes

Made this recipe for dinner last night, so tasty, and so easy to make. 👌🏻

Took the kid out for lunch, I’m working from home, he’s on school holidays…

🔗 My Raspberry Pi Zero W Portable Development Server

What a fun little project, I’m definitely going to pickup a Raspberry Pi to have a play, they’re super cheap, super portable, and my server skills could definitely do with a tune up.

Hi @help, can I please have some assistance in changing a domain name? Currently have matpacker.blog in use, but would like to use matpacker.com. I’ve changed it in the backend, updated the DNS, but it hasn’t progressed and has been stuck at SSL requested for 3-4 days.

Thanks!

🔗 Julian Assange in embassy: Wikileaks founder caught skateboarding

staff complained about Assange’s skateboarding, accusing him of ruining the building’s floorboards.

He seems like he would be a shit housemate, the sort that never helps out with the bills, cleaning, etc.

🔗 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a story-driven melee combat game

The biggest pop from the audience came when Zampella said "There's no multiplayer, and there are no microtransactions."

I love a good Star Wars game, it surprises me that there are so few considering how rich the universe is. Hopefully, this will end up being a good one, just like Knights of The Old Republic.

🔗 A-League: A game in crisis

Sad, but true. Football is struggling in this country, without a major shakeup, it’ll be a dead sport in Australia. ⚽️

I was fortunate enough to get to photograph one of my all time favourite bands, Pearl Jam, when they were in Newcastle, in November 2006. I never got around to posting most of the images due to signing a waiver, however, that’s well expired by now so I can finally post these photos to my blog.

Is anyone posting multi-image galleries on micro.blog currently?

It’s the very last pain point I have with using micro.blog versus spinning up a WordPress install, or similar. I thought I might be able to drag 10 images into MarsEdit, unfortunately, that didn’t work…

I need to set a recurring task for when I arrive at work; Put your glassses on Mathew!
