CYBEREVOLUTION

Still waiting for my home broadband to be switched on, home being the nice little bedsit I found in my first week. To those stalwart fans of my blog you may have noticed a small suspension of service…. this was thanks to an unscrupulous “phisher” continuing to pound at the vulnerablilities of my website.

Like I’ve got nothing better to do, than to sit on hold to someone in the US to fix it, kudos to my host though once I got through they were quick and understanding.

Today is a momentous occasion though, it is officially my first payday of my new job, and I am now in a position to go shopping for a car (yippeee). Not that I don’t mind walking places because it’s good exercise, the main shopping mall to where I live is about four miles away, and gives me a leasuirly 45min walk in the improving Spring weather, yes the sun is making more of an appearance. Regarding pay over here, things are done slightly differently, instead of being paid monthly I am being paid bi-weekly; something of a knock back from the agricultural history of New Zealand I think? Anyways, that’s why a lot of things over here are quoted at weekly rates instead of monthly. In order to help this approach internet and phone services are quoted ‘monthly’ …..aaargh!!!

Nuff said for now (because I am still at work and have to be sparing with my internet useage); watch out for more regular updates AND photgraphic proof I really am in New Zealand after my ‘bedsit’ broadband is switched on….honest!
