Spent the last week moving from my one device router/wifi/DSL to a DSL modem <> #pfsense <> internal network option at home. Wish I had done this sooner, haven't been this excited about a tech change in a LONG time!

This is a parody right? Please tell me this is a parody... https://t.co/G491UqCdto

@2degreesmobile is there a problem with your payment gateway, I'm trying really hard to make a payment and everything times out, both Poli and CC.?!

@Orthanc @EaseMehUpPlz @MissDahlELama My concern would be more the purpose built back doors and data mining these things do. Always a fun experiment watching network traffic when you plug any cloud service based device in, especially those from countries that see privacy more as a hindrance than a right.

Maybe I should ask my good friend Bobby Tables to sign up... 😁

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

What? Makes me wonder how they store the password if there are "invalid characters".

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

30 minutes waiting for someone at @trustpower to answer, surely that's not right, let's see how long it actually takes before someone answers...

[Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi]

Best thread ever.

My new biodegradable, gluten free, free range, locally sourced, carbon neutral, artisanal, locally sourced, bpa free, natural, sugar free, grass fed toothbrush!

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

Yum!

Just saw a space object burn up on entry over Whangaparaoa, NZ, left an impressive trail. Didn't have my potato camera ready to get shaky, blurry footage unfortunately :(

@ruleandmake @DefiantDev Spent the afternoon playing Hand of Fate with some board gamers and someone new to board games, everyone picked it up quickly and loved it. REALLY good game guys. Just one thing, wish I had a side board labelled PLAY, DRAW, DISCARD to keep track, kept getting those confused 😁

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

I love it when Kickstarter rewards arrive! Finally got my copy of the Hand of Fate board game. Impressed with the quality, clearly a huge amount of effort went into this...thanks @ruleandmake & @DefiantDev, can't wait to play.

@KEV_SHINE ... and then have different numbers of people at each point in the flow, thereby causing a bottleneck, you could then restrict the queue that each stage can process, demonstrating limiting WIP...or something like that :)

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

@KEV_SHINE Correct me if I'm wrong here but I think you're describing a basic production line? You could design a game using Lego blocks that involves building some end "product" in parts, each person is assigned a spot in the production line to build part A/B/C/assemble the parts.....

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

@FlickElectricCo Yip, read through and pondered FIXIE, but did not appeal to me, kinda feels counter to why I joined Flick :)

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

@FlickElectricCo Any idea why the spot price is on the slightly higher end for the last week or so and if it's going to continue for a while or just an anomaly?

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

Look what arrived! Thanks @JustBoomAudio for the generous gift, definitely giving this a go this evening...

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

Finally done, #RaspberryPi, #pijuice, #hifiberry all living neatly in my dashboard running Android Auto (via #openauto). Beats the old junk radio that was there before, and of course there's now a Linux computer in my car, let's not downplay that bit of awesome.

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

Did a small write up of the hardware side in case anyone is interested, will do the software side next: https://t.co/QpcINQv1sS

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

@PiSupply @Raspberry_Pi Side thought while I was buying these headers. Isn't it an amazing time to be alive, where the price of a single board computer is cheaper than the SD card you need to store the data for the computer?! Blows my mind.

[Rick Tonoli @ricktonoli]

@PiSupply @Raspberry_Pi Pretty cool, was wondering why no-one sold just the colored headers? Turns out you can get them, might get a couple of those for my existing zero's.
