  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Enjoying another weekend but did some overtime to earn a few extra dollars but things are going well particular with some cleaning around the home. I want to get the house cleaned from top to bottom, get some fresh air through the house before Autumn then Winter comes – I’m going room to room, get…

  • As I have gotten older I’ve found that things that I thought were important aren’t actually all that important. A good example of this was the frustration I would have using Windows and the UI inconsistencies that existed, they would be the bane of my existence and ultimately what drove me into the arms of…

  • Just having a read through the Webkit website to see what the latest Safari Technology Preview has in store (link) and what peaked my interest was this: The support is present on M3 as well as A17 SoC – I’m holding off for the M4 or M5 because I’m interesting in seeing Apple move to…

  • One more day to go and it’ll be the end of another week. Wheels are in motion to get a new desk setup in my soon to be office where I will be working from home thus having a dedicated room where I work – it also means I’m not having to use my own…

  • I made a blog post last night before going to bet hoping that Apple would release an update to macOS 14.4 and funny enough when I woke up I find an update waiting for me to install. It is a pretty hefty update weighing in at around 1.15GB. It would be nice if Apple could…

  • Went down to the supermarket to pick up some groceries for the week – one of the habits I’ve gotten myself into is ensuring that my fridge, freezer and cupboards are well stocked so then I’ve always got something to choose from which stops me from being tempted to order take away. Tomorrow I’m looking…

  • Enjoying my weekend (Monday and Tuesday) with the first I went for a walk down to my local cafe and had a eggs bene (with smoked salmon) along with a bowl of mochaccino – a nice way to start the day with a late brunch by getting me out of the home and getting in…
