Got in contact with mechanic working on my scooter – looks like it is almost ready except the battery needs to be replaced so they were waiting on me to give it the go ahead where they will order it on an overnight courier down from Auckland. I’m not surprised that the battery needs to…

Well, hopefully on Monday I’ll be able to pick up my scooter after having it in the repair shop for the week, I haven’t heard anything back but I hope that means its ready to be picked up but with that being said I haven’t received my vehicle licence yet so I’m going to have…

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…

Well, it’s the start of a new year and things are looking good so far – the focus this year isn’t about trying to make big changes but instead making incremental improvements because it is easy to get overwhelmed then eventually throw ones hands up in the air because it feels like one is fighting…

Firefox 121 was released recently with a massive laundry list of features that developers have been clamouring for and the Firefox developers have been working on as part of the web compat project such as the :has pusedo class along with many others (link).
