It has been a long time.
Yeap, it has been a long time since I last updated my blog. The clumsy person that I am, I had an accident which damaged my laptop and desktop beyond repair resulting in the only device I have left over is an iPhone which is wholly unsuitable for completing blogs online hence I’ve been offline…

Another week has come and gone.
On 22 June 2022 Chromecast with Google TV was released in New Zealand – available through ‘big box’ stores (to quote an Americanism) such as Noel Leeming (where I bought mine) as a replacement for the built in ‘Smart TV’ software (Samsung uses Tizen). The problem with my television is that it doesn’t support 5GHz…

Enjoying the last few days before getting back to work.
At home chilling out watching Season 1 of Law & Order – starting from the first season and moving forward. I was going to have a small holiday away from Wellington but winter has been so crappy I decided to stay at home and enjoy the warmth and familiarity of home. The temperatures so far…

A rather lacklustre WWDC 2022.
Well…that was a rather lacklustre WWDC 2022 having watched both the Keynote and Platforms State of the Union not just once but twice in the belief that maybe I missed something given that it took place at 5:00am and I was a groggy but I made it through (I then had a quick nap then…

A good weekend.
Well, that was a good weekend. There was the Australian election and Labor (yes they spell Labour as Labor for the centre left party in Australia) won although they’ll need to work with independents and the Green Party to get things moving. What I hope is that not only do they setup an ICAC (Independent…

Chilling out: Bosch Legacy, Severance and lots of reading.
Finally got some time to start watching Bosch Legacy – first episode so far has been pretty good and now onto the second one. I’d suggest that anyone getting into watching it, a lot of what takes place makes a whole lot more sense if you’ve watched Bosch (all the seasons). It’s very much like…

My take on the Google I/O Keynote.
I decided to have a duvet day today (Thursday 12 May) and stayed home to watch the Google I/O – all warmly wrapped up in my duvet: What I liked: There appears to be a greater focus on developing what they already have and making it better rather than brand new features that get a…

Chip shortage, manufacturing disruptions and inflation.
I’ve been looking at the the delivery times of computers – I was shocked at how much the chip shortage has really hit the sector. For example, if you jump to Apple and check out their shipment dates then for the MacBook Pro has a 7-9 week lead time, a build to order (BTO) iMac…
