  • Relaxing day at home enjoying the sound of rain.

    Apart from heading out around 2pm this afternoon to pick up a few odd bits and pieces from the supermarket along with some buffalo spicy wings and salad for lunch/dinner. The salad was a Mexican mix with the star of the show being the dressing which has a spicy taste to it. In the previous…

  • Something tells me that he doesn’t get it.

    Sigh, Just as a follow up to the previous post where I was talking about tactics regarding how to confront the Trump administration, I was watching Real Time Bill Maher last night and one of the guests on the show was Joe Manchin. On a side note, I have my disagreements with Joe Manchin but…

  • Hasn’t been a bad week so far.

    Normally at this point I’m really looking forward to the final day of the week but apart from the usual work related stuff things have been pretty uneventful. Tonight I went for an 11.6km walk and that was completed in around 1 hour and 40 minutes which good that I am keeping up the pace.…

  • I needed that walk after work.

    I finished work and went for a walk and tonight I decided to go for a 17.4km walk but funny enough I decided to time myself to see how much my fitness had improved and what I have found is that to do 5.8km it had gone from around 1 1/2 hours when I first…

  • One UI 8 has been released in New Zealand.

    i finished work tonight and then went for a walk but had a short walk because it started spitting – last night I got stuck in the rain so I wanted to avoid that same issue. Long story short on my way home I picked up a few things from the local convenience store and…

  • Another day, another example of a tech YouTuber failing to do the bare minimum.

    The saga regarding SSDs continues as one of the major instigators behind the hysteria admits that they didn’t update their SSD firmware and the firmware on their motherboard was at least 9 months out of date yet he insists on blaming Microsoft. I don’t know about you but if you want any sort of credibility…

  • A relaxing couple of days.

    I decided for the couple of days off that I would just enjoy the fine art of doing nothing – just relaxing at home watching a few tv series, pop down to to the supermarket to pick up some groceries for the week. Part of the groceries included getting a variety of meal options which…

  • No, things weren’t perfect before 2016.

    In the wake of recent events there appears to be a narrative doing the rounds by prominent liberal talking heads making out that they’re shocked as if this was the first and only case of politically motivated violence in the United States. This is the same sort of deliberate ignorance of history that far too…

  • End of a week, let’s hope for an uneventful one this week.

    I finished work tonight and I decided I needed to go for a long walk after dealing with a sizeable number of customers who put me in a bad mood. The most productive way I have found to deal with such emotions is to go for a long walk while listening to some music –…

  • I’m going to say it, the new iPhone is pretty good.

    One more day to go and the weekend cannot come soon enough. After work I went for another long walk because I needed to get some negative vibes out of my system after dealing with some ‘interesting’ customers – the sort that insist because they’ve watched a few episodes of Perry Mason that it somehow…
