Weekly Wrap 650: A heady mix of submarines, the dark web, writing, and fatigue

My week of Monday 7 to Sunday 13 November 2022 included a lot of sleeping. Every afternoon I ended up napping for three to nearly six hours, and I don’t know why. Still, I managed to get a podcast published, did some radio spots, and got some client work done. Not bad.

Weekly Wrap 628: A podcast, a comedy, a sad ending, and rather a lot of alcohol

I did a lot of drinking during my week of Monday 6 to Sunday 12 June 2022. I am comfortable saying this. As I’ve already posted, ZDNet Australia has been shut down so I had a very long lunch with colleagues. And I enjoyed drinks both before and after catching the wonder Nigel Ng at the Enmore Theatre. I still managed to produce a podcast and do some other work, so there.

Weekly Wrap 600: Jerkbirds, podcast work, and the Great Sog continues

The week of Monday 22 to 28 November 2021 saw the Bureau of Meteorology declare another La NiÃ±a event, and rightly so. There’s been so much rain in the Blue Mountains, but of course we’ve escaped the flooding that’s happening elsewhere in NSW.

Weekly Wrap 577: A short week with cybers, a Quiz, and cockatoos

My week of Monday 14 to Sunday 20 June 2021 included another episode of The 8pm Quiz, some writing, some thinking, and far too many birds. Overall, it was quite good.

Weekly Wrap 575: Some geekery to begin winter, and an inevitable bird photo

My week of Monday 31 May to Sunday 6 June 2021 took an unusual turn. It saw the first substantial geek-for-hire work I’ve done in quite a while when I coordinated the eviction of hackers from a client’s website. And now it’s winter. Is there a connection? You decide.

Weekly Wrap 572: A vast flock of cockatoos heralds a week when productivity returns

My productivity started to return during the week of Monday 10 to Sunday 16 May 2021. Yes, there’s a ZDNet story and parts or another one, but more importantly I started to get a clearer view of the next few months. This pleases me.
