don't know why I like to work in wood so much, gives a nice feel, a little less dead than plastic perhaps,,

400 gsm Vinyl(Charcoal) from HVG Group, I'm using it here to make a cover for a sofa about 3m x 4m, view of rear vent, thread is a tex 270 from Coats UVR dyed in the mix, 4 stitches to the inch on Seiko LSW 8BL TA
It has a bit of stretch this Vinyl, I recon you could make jeans from it, they have some totally weird colours,
#auspol I think it's BS that the new govt won't scrap the new points system, saying they can't change it, it's a couple of keystrokes for goodness sake, probably just one click of a mouse(in some govt dept) to stop the roll out, it's not a "we can't" it's a "we won't" fix it response,
they seem to be picking and choosing a bit which hills they want to die on,
was on the phone yesterday talking to old mate, we were discussing a bash script from years ago, he would quote a line number and then qualify it with a version number, I found that very cute,
was the most fun conversation I've had in a while, was surprised I managed to keep up,
wish I could get motivated to do more, so many side issues haunt us, diverting from what we could be,
survival is a bitch some days, but it's better than the alternative
#assange
we should free Julian Assange and lock up rupert murdoch
I recently went for a couple of jobs back doing nbn shit, was offered one of the jobs (field tech) but when they sent through the mountain of paperwork to "onboard" I couldn't accept it, too many memories of pointless rubbish done in the name of "box ticking" and for no other reason, I suppose normal people would have just swallowed all logic to get the wage, I can't do it anymore
