  • Improvements maybe on their way.

    I was reading through the latest minutes from the WECG where ‘Issue 744: Proposal: A DNR rule type to intercept top-document navigation’ (link) was discussed – long story short, at the moment if you click on a play button on some video sharing websites it’ll also open up a window but in the window it’ll…

  • Feeling a little bit better.

    Still got a sore throat and coughing but I feel a whole lot better than I did a few days ago – the last time I had this I ended up pushing through with the end result being that it took longer to recover vs had I just taken the time off from work and…

  • Still feeling lousy, taking time off from work.

    I woke up this morning with a splitting headache and sore throat (resulting in a croaky voice and difficulty speaking without eventually needing to cough heavily) so I thought it would be best to have today off to recover. After waking up, I then checked to see whether Google had released an update for Chrome…

  • Back to work on Wednesday.

    Relaxing in bed and getting ready to head into the office on Wednesday – back to work after a month off recovering from my accident and time off for my grandma’s memorial service. I an tempted to work from home but given that I have been out of the office for around a month I…

  • Arrived back at home.

    The memorial service was a nice experience – catching up with cousins I hadn’t seen in years along with seeing friends of the family I haven’t seen in years (the reason for not having seen them in years is because I live in Wellington and they live at the other end of the country). It…

  • Flying back tomorrow.

    I’ll be flying back to Wellington tomorrow but before I fly out I’ll pop into Silvia Park shopping centre to have a look around, grab something for lunch. Before I fly back I’m tempted to grab some Krispy Kreme doughnuts because we don’t have them in Wellington the only time I get doughnuts is when…

  • Early start Friday.

    I had a good day at work today – working from home and the whole experience of getting back into work has resulted in a bit of a bounce in my step. I was going to get my blood tested (general check up) on Friday but because the place has been closed from 20 December…

  • Loving the new direction.

    Well, it has been almost a month since I made a big change in terms of my lifestyle – my diet now consists of low carb meals, protein to keep my full and a good helping of vegetables. I wouldn’t say that I’ve become fixated about what I eat but rather I’m becoming more conscious…

  • Back to work tomorrow.

    I went to Upper Hutt for a blood test but the the place was overwhelmed with people waiting to be served because they were closed over Christmas so I headed down to Lower Hutt which was also overwhelmed by the number of people waiting. What I think I’m going to do is go in on…

  • A little better all the time (it can’t get no worse).

    Ubiquiti has released Unifi OS upgrade from 4.0.21 to 4.1.13 and the Unifi Network Application to 9.0.108 – so far everything has been rock solid and reliable which will be great when I head back to work on Wednesday where I’ll be working from home. Firefox 134 is going to be released this week and…
