A CPU-level security vulnerability seems like a new thing. Has something like this happened before?

Hey @apple, it’s “early 2018” #justsayin

@manton how reliable is the twitter cross-posting bot? I’m not seeing posts from josh.corduroy.biz/feed appearing on twitter.com/corduroy, though it was working 12 hours ago.
Tried turning it off and on.

…posts made this way appear:
• https://micro.blog/corduroy
• https://josh.corduroy.biz/type/status/

I’m trying something new for 2018. I signed up for micro.blog – posts to josh.corduroy.biz will appear on micro.blog/corduroy and twitter.
• takes ownership of content and images.
• makes an eventual move away from twitter easier.
• suppports a more open web.

I just bought a FTA-over-network box so I could watch TV anywhere. Now Freeview has an app that seems to do the same thing. Is it any good?

These window look, and smell, so wonderful with a fresh coat of Organ Oil.

The app banner on this, what looks like an official NSW Government website, sure is weird.

Github wiki pro-tip: adding   inside preformatted renders the text (as you’d expect) but typing opt-SPACE actually inserts a real non-breaking space inside your preformatted text.

Late night chemists in the Blue Mountains

It’s awful when you urgently need to find an after-hours pharmacy but don’t know which ones are open.

I found this handy list of the opening hours of all the “after-hours” pharmacies in the Blue Mountains.

Summary: Blaxland and Springwood have a pharmacy open until 9pm weeknights and 7pm weekends. After that, you’ll need the 24-hour Chemmart at 438 High Street, Penrith.

Also, don’t forget about Health Direct – the Australian Government’s service that connects you to a registered nurse, 24-hours a day just by calling 1800 022 222.
