24:05 – Show five (though I said “four”) of six documenting my last days before turning 30! Chatting about worries over turning 30 turning into scaryness, the start of every blues song, “Weird Al” Yancovic, anime figs, and censors’ predilection for gory violence over toplessness.

32:45 – Show four of six documenting my last days before turning 30! Chatting about data centre noise, keycard silliness, submerging computers, running across streets, family religion, increasingly scared about turning 30, a drag-racing Kia and Maserati, Candanavian [sic] and Irish weather and landscapes, Frank Nora pointing out difference between holidays and vacations, and alienating people with poorly-imitated accents.

23:59 – The third in a short show series documenting my last week as a 20-something! Chatting about rattling Sydney tin can trains, the previous triple digit episode (Rubenerd Show 222 nine years ago), and the oddly specific power board cafe culture in Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Was almost 24:00!

Chatting about warping lift shafts, colourful language for falling, an international Onsug, blocking websites, scripting away podcast chores, Akiyama Mio’s infamous K-On! scene, mail servers, Netflix, dead file sharing service nostalgia (aka Napster), and paying someone to do it for you!

22:41 – The first in a short show series documenting my last week as a 20-something! Chatting about fire escapes, what you're supposed to do for your 30th, a win for shins and legal bicycle parkers everywhere, well intentioned ads that are probably not effective, a world without humans, and a really amazing rainbow.

I’m cleaning out my apartment, including donating a ton of my books to save valuable space. It’s a little heartbreaking, I won’t lie.

To render the excerise easier mentally, I’m sourcing ebooks for as many of them as I can, and I’m going to try Calibre to organise them. It installs a few things!

So far, ebook-convert is the only one I have experience with.

This originally appeared on the Annexe, when I documented inconsiderate drivers parked illegally on Mascot footpaths. It used to bug me no end!
