I am doing the Melbourne Firefighter Stairclimb on Saturday. We're raising money for Lifeline, Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation and 000Foundation. Please donate if you can at Thank you! #melbfirestairclimb

@NETGEAR Thanks for the confirmation! It would have been worth a quick follow up notification on the Orbi app to notify users of this :)

@TeamYouTube Thanks, for that - although you really should check whatever it is that's sending those. I DID mark the email as spam, so in future if there is an issue, I may not be notified. It came in AFTER I got the bank notification, so the system should have been aware it worked by then.

@TeamYouTube Yes & this isn't a new subscription, we've been with you for awhile. I initially marked the email as spam but I got a notification from the YouTube app itself so I believe it is genuine. When I look at my billing info, it looks fine - and the money came out today so it's working?

RT @MeganMackander: If you want one story to make you smile today, this is it #AustralianStory

@Telstra Thanks Greg, yes I get "Unplanned NBN service interruption, estimated restoration "unavailable". Talking to others in the area they are also affected. I assume it's bigger than originally anticipated. Any hint please as to whether it might be resolved today, this week, longer?

@BOM_Vic Curiously, if I try to go to I get a message saying "The Bureau of Meteorology website does not currently support connections via HTTPS." - which almost looks like you setup a secure server, purely to point users back to the insecure one?

@auspost Thanks for the update Cam! I must admit I got in the habit of ignoring the messages because it was impossible to link them with an order (even worse on eBay). But, as you indicted, I've recently got a couple of notifications which have told me who was sending it, which is great!

Aside from everything else, now that Twitter has become practically unusable, and completely unusable on 3rd party apps, please find me on Mast0don at https://theres (dot) life/(at)Quentin

@6NewsAU Are you on Mastodon? I would like to keep following, but now Twitter is becoming less and less useable so would love to follow you on Mastodon instead.

@DerekRiemer Social media meets tabletop wargaming - I've got this image of someone looking across a table of 5cm high people - their subscribers, facing off against your opponents on the other side of the table!

RT @julianoshea: Got to join Tom Scott to help him film a video here in Melbourne - all about the manually operated rollercoaster at Luna P…

@DerekRiemer Imagine if Margaret Hamilton saw some of the code that gets published today, she'd faint! She'd probably look at half of it, say "I could have done that in three lines on a punch card, input it manually, on a computer with a dozen bytes of memory, and it would STILL load faster!"

@luke_amott Clippy, but powered by ChatGPT

@DerekRiemer Yes sleep mode is quick but it's also not loading the whole os from scratch. Having tried it early on, I'm also wary of it, even though I know it works fine these days
