  • One more day to go.

    Almost there, Sunday is my last day before I start my holiday off from work for a week – relaxing at home, following WWDC, doing some home cooking, maybe go for some travel such as up to Waikanae, maybe go into Wellington on a fine day for a walk along the waterfront and breath in…

  • Two more days to go then holidays.

    Only two more days to go and then the holidays start. I’m looking forward to the WWDC Keynote and The Platforms State of the Union – the second one I find a little but more investing because although the presentation is still focusing on topics at the macro level they go into more technical details…

  • A productive day off.

    Today was a productive day, I visited my sister to hand back the laptop that I set up for her along with setting up the UniFi Dream Machine and UniFi AP AC HD resulting in a much better internet experience where (I ran a speed test and was able to hit 300mbps download and 100mbps…

  • Happy birthday to me.

    I went out tonight with mum, sister, partner and two nieces for dinner to celebrate reaching the ripe old age of 44 years old. It is amazing how the years go so quickly and yet at the age of 44 I don’t feel old, I don’t feel like I’m slowing down or aging when compared…

  • Busy night at work.

    Had a late start for work but I’m happy that tomorrow things are normal – I didn’t go for my walk tonight because of the late finish but also because I wanted to do a whole lot of organising around the house. In my bedroom in the closest I have a habit of keeping all…

  • Late start tomorrow, great day today.

    I decided I needed to get out of the house after being stuck in day all yesterday – I went down the road and popped into the local bakery in the mall for a cheese and onion toasted sandwich, a piece of carrot cake and a mochachino. I had a look around the mall, checked…

  • A quiet day at home.

    I decided to have a relaxing day hanging around at home – yeah, I like to get out of the house on my day off but today the weather was wet and cold so I decided hanging around watching some videos and having a tandoori chicken for lunch/early dinner was more the pace I wanted…

  • A week in review: Lots of AI hype but some gems uncovered.

    The end of another week which has been uneventful however I have been following the Google I/O conference and the Microsoft Build conference – AI obsession has reached fever pitch but at least we’ve now moved beyond the novelty of asking a chat bot the meaning of life with a focus on actually using it…

  • I simply don’t care, I really don’t.

    Microsoft’s Build conference is one big giant snoozefest of hearing them going on and on and on and on and on about AI – am I the only one who just doesn’t give a flying continental about AI? Dear Microsoft, your File Explorer can’t even handle long path names, Windows 11 is falling to pieces,…

  • Network upgrade installed.

    I went into Wellington to pick up a U7 Pro Max and UXG Max then ordered a Cloud Key from GoWifi which will hopefully arrive in the next couple of days. I’ve got it all setup using the UniFi cloud instance (3 day trial) but once I receive the Cloud Key then I’ll cancel the…
