Made this coffee table from timber I salvaged after Cyclone Alfred crossed Brisbane in March 2025. 🪵

The main frame uses hardwood reclaimed from old pallets, ebonised to near-black to contrast against the storm-debris hardwood. The central ring was steam-bent from two halves, then topped with glass to protect and finish the piece.

From disaster debris to something functional.

We're about to set off for another #EmergencyCommsExercise at #SouthbrookQld for the #Toowoomba Endurance Horse Riders' Association Hip Pocket Challenge.

This _was_ to take place in March, however #CycloneAlfred was the final word on that… so it got postponed until now. Southbrook is a little south-west of Toowoomba on the high plains… very open to the wind and quite high in altitude. Consequently, I'm grabbing all the warm gear I can lay my hands on. This morning Toowomba region had a overnight minimum of -0.1°C. Sunday is predicted to get down to 5°C (a little warmer).

It'll also be the first event I try out the checkpoint reporter program I released a couple of weeks ago. I've of course packed clipboards and paper forms, so if things go pear shaped with the computing, we have the paperwork to back it up.

There are four rides taking place. Tomorrow afternoon there's a 20km introductory ride: I understand WICEN's not involved in that one officially, but we'll probably use it as a trial run of the software.

Sunday morning we have an 80km, 40km and 20km ride to support.

I've been busy the last couple of weekends busily coding up a program to assist me on checkpoints at future #EmergencyCommsExercise events.

We have an existing application, written in VisualBASIC 6… which works well, but I worry about future maintainability given its dependence on legacy proprietary development environments.

Therefore I made the decision to write my own: https://checkpointreporter.vk4msl.com/

It uses #Java so it's cross-platform, with fairly simple deployment steps (assuming JREv8+ is there already, just download the .jar and run it). We've got an event at #Southbrook which was moved after #CycloneAlfred wiped things out last time. We'll see how it goes on its inaugural run.

We're off again for this year's first #EmergencyCommsExercise. This event is another #HorseEnduranceRide taking place at #KilkivanQld.

First for the year because #CycloneAlfred saw the cancellation of the event at #SouthbrookQld.

I hear we're using 2m FM simplex for this one. Cross-band operation here we come.

HFC NBN seems to be up here, after #CycloneAlfred made a mess of things.

It's been a long few days. 4G works, but where I am in The Gap, we're in a hollow, and so do not have good line-of-sight to the nearby towers (there are 3 in The Gap).

That said, it's still intermittent. So far it's set a record for uptime, but it still could fall over. I'll be keeping the @vk4msl back-up account going a little while yet.

If you've been wondering why I've been so quiet, this is why, and that other account is where you'll find my posts during the outage.
