Well, the email chain continues on from the previous post (here) and I am still calling this a total scam. I actually had gotten an email thread from somebody else who had been dealing with Volterman over a wallet with issues (staying connected to a phone) and Volterman were lets say, not too helpful dealing […]

As a technology person I’ve always wanted a wallet with a whole bunch of technology inside it to make life simpler. I was for quite some time running a Tile tracker inside my wallet in order to find it which worked pretty well but then I saw an ad for this “glorious” smart wallet called […]
Last night, I was scrolling my Facebook newsfeed and saw a number of posts from friends sharing the Anti 5G protest and images from it. Lets just say, given the population of New Zealand this was a downright flop but I wanted to test people to see what they actually know about 5G. That, in […]
Note: I don’t think this works anymore. Mileage may vary. Well – as you likely know last.fm doesn’t allow a username change (like – it isn’t 2018 and all) so my terrible username of choice back when I was 16 (computermann24 if you must ask) was still stuck with me. I did however want my […]
A question that comes up quite often is “what is the best ISP?” – what people fail to ask is what they’re looking for in an ISP?

Lets face it, wireless routers these days are seemingly inspired by spiders – they’re trying to pack as many features, antennas etc in as possible without focusing on what they need to the most – functionality. I’ve been noticing routers that try to pack as many antennas in as possible, they’re ugly and not strictly […]
So, I wanted to see how far I could get with installing something which is a tad obscure onto an otherwise Linux only VM host. So, why not use FreeBSD? My goal here was to deploy a FreeBSD server to Linode (aka Linux Node IIRC) and see if it could boot, if I could get SSH […]
First of all. If you’re new to this thread of Dell and their horrendous customer service, and repair failures then read Part 1 here. Jump to partial resolution (22/02/2016) I am continuing the topic here only since this may get long if Dell goes back on their word of a replacement following future problems with […]
I’ve been waiting for this moment for around 3 months – had a total of 16 bookings of different dates with promises to get UFB but in the end my ISP (2degrees) got a little sick of me waiting so they ensured I got an install at a date that worked for me. At first […]
