As much as I like to relax on my day off I also want to get things done that I can’t or don’t get done during the week when I’m working. The first thing I did today was doing a clean install of all the Apple devices (including my iPhone 16 Pro Max where I…

Quite a busy week so far in the technology industry – Google released Android 16 beta 4 (link) and it appears that the kernel version has also been updated (not a major version update) and I’ve read reports regarding the Pixel 9 Pro XL showing performance improvements.

Finished work tonight and went for a 11km walk – decided to take the scenic route rather than the usual loop I normally take. One of the downsides of losing weight is that you feel the cold a lot more – I wore my hoodie to keep my warm and when I came back my…

I don’t know what on earth has happened with NZ Post but holy heck the quality has gone down hill within a matter of months. I remember in the past you could order something on Friday, get shipped out on Friday night, take the over night truck down to Wellington and then have it delivered…

I went down to the supermarket today to do some grocery shopping which will cover me for the next fortnight. I bought a some lamb rumps that I cooked up and created a tasty lamb sandwich for dinner, I also bought some chicken and fish from the frozen section – I like to keep some…

End of another week and enjoying my weekend off – I decided to work from home on Saturday rather than going into the office because the light in the office keeps turning off resulting in me having to jump up and down to get the sensor to turn on the light. In a normal functioning…
