The one thing I am always reminded of when living in New Zealand is the fact that although we don’t get high temperatures like they do in Australia what makes it worse in New Zealand is the humidity – no matter how well the air is circulating with the fan on high it is difficult…

Another day another dime and this morning Santa came late and dropped off a chest freezer that’ll be put into my office (no room in the kitchen) where I’ll gradually build up a good supply of food so that there is less temptation to buy take outs. It’s been a week of taking this approach…

I headed down to the local Harvey Norman to look at a small chest freezer but before that mum shouted me brunch at the local cafe/bakery – eggs bene with salmon and wilted spinach on toasted ciabatta. It is a treat that I look forward to because for all my culinary skills I am horrible at…

I made my move to Firefox a few months ago as my main browser (I had it sitting in the background while I waited for the outcome of what Google were going to do with MV3) on both my computers, MacBook Air M2 (24GB RAM) and Mac Studio M1 Max (32GB RAM), and the over…

Admittedly I am late to the party but Apple released updates for all their platforms but the more interesting aspect to this is the progress that Safari is making in terms of fixing bugs and improved compliance with the work being done with the Interop 2023 team (link) (link). The interesting part is how a…

It’s been over a month since making the move to Firefox due to the Chrome development team becoming increasingly hostile to end users and their ability to run content blocking extensions by creating a crippled extension framework in the name of ‘security and privacy’. The one thing you quickly learn as you get older is…

Almost the end of another week, I was hoping to get 20-26 December off from work but I’ve been dragged back into doing a shift on Christmas eve. I wanted the day off but what I might do is ask for a couple of days on the other side so I end up getting off…
