Sydney Christmas Lights


Oh Sydney, you do know how to put on a show!  


The Christmas lights of St Mary's Cathedral are sure worth the trip into the city after dark.  Tonight we zipped in to the CBD, found a great car park on the street and were surprised by the lack of people shopping in the city (does everybody shop online??), we walked around the David Jones windows to see the puppetry and then crossed Hyde Park to St Mary's Cathedral where there was a choir singing carols and then a spectacular light show.


The wreaths represent "unity" from nations across the globe. 


The Madonna Series is also beautiful


 If you live in Sydney you must go for a look, it's very beautiful - the sequence of lights last for 8 minutes and it's breathtaking. 


Wishing you a Merry and Happy Christmas from Sydney!

  6. Influencers gone wild posts highlight the psychology behind viral content. The desire to be noticed often pushes creators to risk public backlash for online recognition.

  7. DirBuster is an indispensable tool for web security teams — OWASP-backed, reliable, and thorough. It uncovers hidden directories and files quickly, helping developers and pentesters identify risks and strengthen applications before attackers can exploit them.

  8. I really appreciate how Pybind11 keeps things lightweight and elegant. It bridges C++ and Python so seamlessly that it almost feels native. A must-have tool for anyone integrating high-performance C++ code into Python projects!

  9. UWPHook completely transformed how I organize my gaming library. Now I can play all my Xbox and UWP games directly through Steam without extra hassle. The auto image feature adds a perfect finishing touch.
