Why I have chosen to use Firefox instead of Safari and Chrome.
I’ve been running Firefox for quite some time and part of that journey has been subscribing to the Firefox subreddit on Reddit – reading through many of the posts one of the posts bought up an interesting question regarding non-Google related reasons why you have chosen Firefox over the alternatives. Funny enough for me my…

End of the first week back then bad news.
Well, I came back from overseas, had a week off sick then went back to work but spent time replying to customer emails rather than taking phone calls – I really needed that extra week of recovery because goodness knows what I caught took a lot out of me. I don’t think it was COVID…

Firefox 128.0 release candidate, update of uploading photos, random thoughts.
A couple of days before the official release of Firefox 128 I wanted to give it a try to see how much it has improved over 127.0.2 – what surprised me was the improvement in performance in both rendering pages as well as retrieving pages (both latency/responsiveness and speed of the download). It appears that…

Still recovering.
Still recovering from travel – still got a nasty virus resulting in a lot of coughing etc. but I’m working through it, resting at home and ordering groceries online to avoid the miserable cold outside. It is the one thing I can’t stand about travelling – almost every time I eand up catching something resulting…

Firefox 127.0.2 and macOS: Working well
I’ve installed Firefox 127.0.2 along with uBlock Origin and so far things are going pretty good – as much as the ‘all Apple’ ecosystems nice I can’t help but get frustrated by the crippled experience with the new extension model that is being pushed upon users over the next year with Chrome at the head…

I’ve arrived back in New Zealand and recovering.
I should have posted it yesterday when I did arrive back in New Zealand but I was so exhausted after almost 32 hours of non stop travel (including the waiting at London, Dubai and Brisbane). I did sleep on the plane but the sleep was horrible with the constant waking up, the uncomfortable chair (I…

Over the last few days I’ve been travelling through Ireland then through Wales, here is the map of the tour: I’m currently in Chester and heading off to Cardiff tomorrow then two days in Plymouth then back to London where I’ll be flying back to New Zealand. As promised I’ll be uploading photos with more…

Update 2: Arrived in London and started the tour.
The thing I left out of first update was that I was sick after arriving in Paris – unfortunately it always happens when I go for a long trip, be it by via train, road, airplane, whether it is a short journey (Wellington to Auckland) or a long one (Wellington to Sydney then to Dubai…

In the category of ‘this shouldn’t surprise anyone’.
Yes, even when I am on holiday I am following the latest technology news – I don’t want to sound snarky but I predicted this a while ago, there will be the early adopter phase with lots of hype then it’ll be relegated to a niche. Now, I’m not saying that foldable phones suck –…

Trip to France, United Kingdom and Ireland: Update 1.
I left home on on Monday so I could chill out a few hours at the Qantas lounge – a nice way to start a long trip. I’m of two minds when it comes to planning a long trip – do you have a single flight and be in the air for 20+ hours or…
