Well, after a year of using a Nothing Phone 1 I have decided to move back to using an iPhone and part of that change I have switched carriers to One NZ (formally Vodafone NZ) due to receiving a discount. Long story short I am happy to go back to being 100% in the ecosystem…

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…
