BBcode for 360 Photos with Kuula

I looked at both Momento360 and Kuula to support display of 360 photos (aka "photospheres"). Preferring Kuula, I came up with some BBcode for it that preserves a desired aspect ratio. Usage: [kuula]{SIMPLETEXT}[/kuula] HTML: <style>.ku-embed {position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; ...

Adelaide

In Adelaide we spent time in the huge Rundle Mall where I bought some clothes... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2rAiG3J4GFwBL9UWrJQ4VnBxyJlqWAZkbOjfkDGYQiCJzbmZWKfAQtRRYL_mwpEns9I4ltI4em64nz78XY-9FFpclyvmKQdth6djjk645ws7L5xn5OB5ybeJtBUxtpHhGnrDDXfPhWE7PGlSr_m6EQpI4NIuezeyg25ZLgs_x-4Ddr69TKN7pflA8...

The Overland to Adelaide

Our stay in Melbourne was too short. The next day we took the Great Southern Railway's Overland train to Adelaide. This is a bit more upscale from the NSW train, with fewer stops. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/IHO2zffae6xVvpuOmZzejIvVbBeVJSGS0wd69a2TFeg1s-PAGoS3eDXbuOJg1VzDtP1b7I22YYhAyv6mGvtyk7...

The Great Ocean Road

Our second and last full day, Monday, in Melbourne was not in Melbourne at all. It was an all-day bus tour of the Great Ocean Road which is on the Southern coast West of Melbourne. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/C5A1uQ-LN6nE-rcO-RDoO3iYbznwcwgt5j4vhDl6g3Vg6GDaleAACzTFlpOWJcvIHCbYZ1nfK-gOG9MNMPTxy...

Photos from Melbourne

Our Airbnb in Melbourne was great, with nice touches and -- surprise! -- a Starbucks at street level. Lucy is a huge Starbucks fan. On our first full day there, a Sunday, Lucy attended a Lutheran church service and we then explored some of the city and took in a live musical, Come from Away. https:/...

Change of Plans

As our ride to Sydney dragged on it became obvious that we were not making up time. Armed with a backup battery for the cell phone, I called the NSW train service and confirmed that we would indeed miss the connection, and rescheduled for a day train the next morning. Then with some web searching on...

Melbourne and Adelaide by Rail

Lucy and I traditionally do something extra special for five-year-multiple anniversaries, and we had #25 on August 18 of this year. We had not yet seen anything beyond the East coast of Australia and decided to take a train trip to Melbourne and Adelaide. We booked first class from Sawtell to Sydney...

Re: Raspberry Pi VPN Server

I recently learned there's yet another project called PiVPN that simplifies installation of an OpenVPN server. It also seems worth a try! Here is a nicely done video about it.
