I ordered a pizza online a few minutes ago and normally I’ll grab a few sides but these days I can’t help but look at the sides and sigh with boredom that there is nothing interesting on offer, the same things on offer. The other place I buy my pizza from used to have interesting…

I finally got myself motivated enough to head to the local tech store to buy a USB-C earphones – NZ$45 for some Samsung AKG EO-IC100 and so far they have been pretty good when combined with Poweramp Music Player and Equaliser I am getting some good audio quality, good bass, no distortion etc. although I…

Just had a look at videos of Samsung’s launch of their One UI 6 beta programme and it appears that things are getting better in terms of the overall UI experience – yeah, I’m one of these strange people who focus on usability rather than fixating for almost an hour over the camera setup. After…

Let’s start with the bad, I woke up this morning all ready to head off to work and found that my scooter not only has a flat front tyre but also a flat back tyre as well. I guess the saving grace being that I can work from home which meant it was a giant…

One more day to go – working at the moment (Saturday) then one more day (Sunday) before the weekend. Although it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea I love working Wednesday to Sunday and having Monday/Tuesday off for my weekend because having two week days off gives me the ability to chase up errands that need…

It started on Tuesday but I went to work on Wednesday because it was a late shift and they needed extra man power but by the end of the shift I had a horribly crook back then I headed back home thinking that maybe a lay down will fix it – nope, my back still…
