Well done!!
langfo··on Ask HN: How did you stop drinking?
Another couple of good ones in Australia are:- * Heaps Normal - Pale Ale (Jordy Smith pro surfer is a co-founder). They also have a lager but I found the pale ale much better. * Hawkesbury - Prohibition Pale Ale
langfo··on How criminals are using jammers, deauthers to disrupt WiFi security cameras
All it took was a work truck across the road from my house caused my WiFi, Zigbee alarm system to start sending "Jam Detected" notifications to my phone. I assumed his CB Radio was the cause.

Paradise Lost!
langfo··on Ask HN: Building a startup while working elsewhere and parenting?
Life will continue to get busier. Once they are over 5 and sports activities and creative activities start you'll be driving around for training, games etc. At least by then you will be enjoying uninterrupted sleep again. As a 30 year old software developer, I had a startup going great just a few years prior to kids and into the early years of my 3 children. I found the technologies I learnt and used on the startup project allowed me to utilize those skills in my job and be more efficient and a more valued worker. I did have another partner who grew the business and I just focused on the tech. I would suggest to just start and see what happens. I know many 40+ dads who have ventured down the path of an MBA which to me is serious commitment compared to what I was doing with a software side project!
langfo··on Ask HN: How do I find energy to work on hobbies after the work day ends?
You haven't mentioned your age. It could be good to get a blood test. When my wife was pregnant with twin girls I was always feeling wiped out, a blood test revealed my I had low thyroid hormone levels. A tablet a day has fixed that.

Are you able to do some of your project work at work. Included in this is building an internal web based application for your customers/users, automating things. I built things at work and home while learning the Java Spring Framework for example.

I also worked on stuff during my commute on the bus to and from work.

I find I have to stop working on a computer by 9pm or I won't sleep that night.

There's heaps of things I can't get done in a day or put off as I'm too tired. Trying to reduce TV consumption and social media consumption can help!

langfo··on Facebook to restore news pages in Australia
What I don't understand, please correct me if I'm wrong but don't the journalists, news agencies etc upload their own news content or links to news stories to the Facebook platform? Should they then get paid for that? Anyway, I'm into about day 6 of my feeble attempt to delete my Facebook account.
langfo··on In 1983, a 61-year-old potato farmer won the Westfield Sydney Ultramarathon
I remember as a kid in Sydney watching Cliff Young on the TV news each night shuffling his way to Melbourne throughout the day and into the night to win the race.
