Experiences fostering neonatal kittens
I recently took on fostering some neonatal kittens. Here I share some of my learnings and experiences in the hope it might help others in a similar position.
Payoneer – An internet payment journey – Part 3
In part’s 1 and 2 I went through the beginning of the process of acquiring a US-based credit card (if you haven’t read them, this post probably won’t mean much so they are a better place to start) and left you, dear reader, waiting with baited breath (Yeah yeah I know, you’d almost forgotten really)…
Payoneer – An internet payment journey – Part 2
Well, this hardly rates as a post but oh well. Just a quick update to say that the payment I’d made to my Payoneer account has finally shown up. It did so some time on the evening of Friday the 12th (at midnight EST, so it was, at least, a predictable time).
Payoneer – An internet payment journey – Part 1
Well, “journey” might be overselling it a little, but I’m not yet at the end so who knows! Basically I’m setting myself up with a CreditCard via Payoneer; here lies the story of what I had to do and how it all worked out…
Home Automation, OpenHAB, Z-Wave
Home Automation and “The Internet of Things” are common terms these days. This is the start of my journey down that path… starting with OpenHAB and Z-Wave.
Maybe it’s the time of year…
Wow, coincidence? After much neglect I come back to this blog, answer a few questions and do some updates. While trawling around I notice that the last post I made was exactly one year ago today!! Maybe it’s the time of year. The cold weather has me relaxing on the couch keeping warm; no doubt…
Raring Ringtail (Ubuntu 13.04)
Everyone needs a project, and for a few reasons I recently decided my project was to get Ubuntu running on my desktop PC. I wanted something to distract me from working at home too much, and I needed a distraction from my head being in overdrive. And so the mission began…
Bits and Bobs (or Bits and Bytes)
So after my last article, I got asked a few questions about data and speed. Speed is one I’d like to write about but I think it’s a bigger topic than I have time for at the moment but I figured a little info on data should be easier (easier, not necessarily easy) to tackle.
Netflix and other US restricted content in NZ
So life in NZ is pretty good. We may be a little out of the way as far as the bulk of internet content is but that’s slowly changing with more content being cached onshore.
Lets take a look at the content that they make it harder to get if you’re not in the States! We’ll start with Netflix and how to get it playing to your Apple TV in little old NZ.
Life, code and random ramblings…
Everyone comes into your life for a reason. It may not always be the reason we thought or might have hoped, but there is a reason regardless. The best we can do is enjoy what we can and treasure that person while we can, as we never know when for some reason they will stop…
2012 is well underway…
So yet again I’ve shown a severe lack of motivation to update this thing for far too long… But after someone reading through a lot of the post history fairly recently I thought maybe it’s time to tidy a few things up and maybe even put some new (if thoroughly boring to most) content on…
