Hi Everyone! I had a computer disaster on Friday, and had to replace my home computer. And then sign in again to the DT. Aaaaaannd I'd forgotten my password, so I had to re-register and therefore am now the Witch of Thornbury instead of Thornburywitch. Will organise cute ID piccy as soon as I discover one. Suggestions welcome.

Do not talk to me about resetting my network access password - there are some things that are better left unspoken. This includes Optus Customer Service - which falls into the three lies for the price of one category imo. On the good side, the nice people that sold me this device removed all the bloatware - I am deeply grateful.

We need to see some identification

Need to talk to Seagoon about tapestry.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Eh, crud. Sorry.

[-] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Boo! Wait until Halloween - I'll show you identification! The wasabi peas will be quite sufficient.

How would you describe the music of Rolling Stones?

[-] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Circular. Just keeps repeating on you.

[-] wscholermann@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago

I actually like the new name. Something much more grand about it.

[-] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago

Thank you! Was toying with The Witch of The North, but there's a bit of competition and that I cannot be bothered dealing with.

Oh no TW (or I guess WoT now), that sucks! I won't give you any lectures, but if you'd like some (lecture + judgement free) suggestions on backup or password management software, just let the DT know. Most people (unfortunately including myself) don't set these things up until it's too late, but they're pretty simple to set up, and low maintenance in the long term if you choose the right software

As for ID, I reckon a broomstick will be sufficient. That's how we'll be able to tell if you really are a witch or not. As for whether you live in Thornbury or not, have you ever used a form of transport that isn't a train or tram since your move?

Edit: or a bike/ebike

[-] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Of course! You are NO ONE in Thornbury without your ebike! Also, last Halloween I attached my old racing saddle to the dyson and left it near the door where the little trick or treaters could see it. Also their parents. I did get asked about it, and explained that the nice young man on late night television said that it was sooooo much faster and more efficient than a broom and that I fully agreed with him. Haven't seen them since. Which was sorta kinda the point. πŸ§ΉπŸ›‘

Perfect! OK to use it????? I assume it's street art somewhere? This is much better than the smiley face with a hat I was going to go with.

I made it with an AI prompt. I forget exactly what the prompt was.
