Seasoned software developer with a knack for tackling complex technical challenges. When I'm not heads-down coding, I usually indulge in two other passions: exploring the world through travel and creating culinary delights in the kitchen.
Not locally hosted, but pretty powerful and has a free tier.
Basically spreadsheets but superpowered.

For existing installation’s I can understand why oracle is still in use. For any new build I really can’t fathom why anyone would reach for oracle over Postgres other than ignorance.
I tend to make my own sauces. My staple bases are soy (dark and light), oyster, fish and sesame oil.
I got an Ooni Karu 16 pizza oven. Tried it out and absolutely love it.
Keen to hear how you go!
I'll have a go at indoor crops. I don't have much outdoor space with varying amounts of light exposure, so I am limited in what I can try.
Ah ok, thank you!
Is there a world where I can have a neverending supply of these herbs (parsley, basil, coriander, etc.) - maybe having a few different crops at different stages of growth?
Coriander plant revival
Is there any way to salvage a coriander plant when it does this, or am I best to mulch it and start from scratch?
My parsley is looking like it is about to do the same thing. Is there any way to prevent it and help it continue producing?
Our house has ducted evaporative cooling. It works great on dry hot days but is absolutely useless if there’s any amount of humidity. We’re going to get a split system in our bedroom for hot humid days.
We’re in Melbourne so it works well enough for the few stinking hot days we get.

Amazing resource, thank you for this!
Stripe has pretty robust subscription management. And their APIs are a dream to work with.
Depending on how nerdy you want to be, hledger is pretty robust.
It would take a bit of setup, but you can automate transaction imports and apply rules to categorise transactions automatically.

AWS Route53. Lets me keep all my domains in one place. If Cloudflare did .au I’d switch to that.
I was looking at their site and could see anything about sub-accounts?
I've been wondering if there's a way to do this with actual bank accounts. I know with ING I can only have like 2 savings/transactional accounts (1 joint, 1 personal).
I'd like to be able to spin up accounts for these categories and use them as the "envelopes" instead of relying on cash.
I use PhotoSync to sync my Apple Photos to my NAS over SMB.
Gardening tips for Melbourne
I'd like a garden that's useful for cooking - herbs, basic veg/tomatoes. But I don't really know where to start.
I had a small patch of herbs, but it was overrun by weeds. I'd like to start this spring with a fresh raised garden bed in my (small) front garden. It receives a decent amount of sun.
Are there any good resources out there for establishing a garden like this in Melbourne? Google obviously is fairly northern-hemisphere oriented, so seasons/availability don't really align.
Things I'm curious about are –
- what to plant
- when to plant
- when to harvest
- how to harvest
- how to deal with pests
- how to deal with weeds
- seeds vs. seedlings
- how often to water
- how much to water
- to feed or not to feed
