The Gathering was really the spark that make the dance music scene take off in NZ. By around 2000 there were events happening all over the country and there was less need to trek to the middle of nowhere for a festival. The initial enthusiasm and idealism that energised the early days started to fade so money was needed then suddenly it's a much harder game.

God, this stuff is complex!
Pretty terrible how at the end it is revealed that the govt and industry had completely different ideas about the goal of the partnership, all along.
National wouldn't have done this. Luxon is a evangelical.
Motivation is a tricky thing. You need to create it, it's not something anyone has innately.
Something I've been using lately, with good results, is to spend a few minutes at the start of each day reminding myself of the vision I have for my future. I previously collected photos or symbols of those things and spend a few seconds dwelling on each of them and trying to imagine how my life will be better then. Cultivate the dream.
A lot of those things I dream of will take a long time to happen so they need to be broken down into smaller sub-goals. Use chatgpt to help with this?
Once my vision has been refreshed I make a to-do list for the day.
Executive functioning is often hard for people with autism. Some of the techniques that people with ADHD use can be helpful, as they have the same issues. Lots of info on the web out there about this and your public library will have free books on it too.
I no longer care if the blackouts change reddit or not. Viva la fediverse!
80% of the time, compiling something from source is just a matter of downloading the code, opening a terminal and changing to the directory containing the source and running these commands:
./configure
make
make install
It's the same 3 commands, 80% of the time.
Installing the prerequisites can be tricky, if the docs are lacking.
If we knew how hard things were going to be (or how long they would take!), we wouldn't attempt the task. Being a bit deluded about how smart we are is helpful for this.
Plus, there is a lot of autism in IT which sometimes makes people seem like arrogant dickheads even if they aren't.
Don't forget to buy thermal paste!
There is only one admin and it is also the only kbin developer.
Kbin is not ready, I'm sad to say.
