Optimising Mac Storage
Discovered that optimising storage is not a good thing for the server. Basically fills my SSD up for no good reason.
Recovered over 100GB of space by turning this off. Its not like I even keep anything useful on this account in terms of photos, etc.

Wall mounted iPad
Definitely my next project – replace the wall mounted iPod touch that is broken with an older iPad.
- Make it the home hub
- Put a nice clock face on it.
Just need to find the time.
And yes – able to write this post on the wordpress app so the XML-RPC is working properly. Don’t need the web interface.
Got XML-RPC working again
Took a bit of time, but finally got this working with some updates via shell.
Now I’m getting posts from days injury free – have to work out where they came from! They have been queued for about 8 months somewhere.
Two rides
A long weekend, one extra day, one extra ride.
Saturday Ride
The Munda Biddi was wet, and difficult. Just a bit of a loop done here. The most interesting thing was the conveyor belt road. Thats a 52 Km conveyor belt for bauxite from the Huntley mine to Pinjarra where its turned into aluminium.
So, a pretty hard ride. Wet and sunny in equal amounts. Only 30Km but that’s off road riding for you. With a well earned lunch and coffee afterwards. Thanks to all the restrictions, that meant driving to Mundijong to get anything…
So a map here of the ride, with Perth included. Its that little circle at the bottom in cyan…
Monday Ride
Despite all that – we were still good enough to ride again today. At least on a road ride. For at least three of us, anyway. A much easier, if longer, 40 Km ride around perth. From home to Canning bridge, then to Claremont and back over the Canning before returning home. So much easier than off road..
Two dogs
Really, there are two dogs. No prize for figuring out who thinks they are the boss.
Saturday Ride
The ride to nowhere. Nowhere being the international airport. There was a security guy there who didn’t want us to take photos of the Rio Tinto COVID signs. Couldn’t figure out why, as there wasn’t anyone there, and we could take photos of the airport terminals.
Also interesting to see the new train station being built. Its strangely in the center of the terminal, near the air traffic control tower. That might seem good, but its actually a long way away from the terminals. Hope the travellators go fast.
Still a good 50 Km ride, the day before the storm.
Half way through
