Aotearoa Daily Kōrero 7/8/2023
Welcome to today's daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there's no daily thread, feel free to create it! Anyway,
it's just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how's it going?
So far the highlight of my morning has been discovering that Sync supports pop out windows for specific threads and communities. It really is the little things, lol.
Started a new job today, a lot of it went over my head but I guess I'll get the hang of things
One of the Argentinian mechanics made BBQ for lunch, shit it good
Wow! Good luck for your new job, it's a good thing to feel lost to start with. It means you're learning new skills.
You're a good man Dave
I'm waiting for a flight home, now helping out the Aussies with their massive flag on Canvas. I made a post here on the Canvas community to try to encourage others to do the same.
A new week, hope all is OK for everyone.
Here’s the 10 day METVUW weather forecast
EDIT: Sorry, the links are corrupted
I'm really loving all these old-school-internet vibes, thanks for sharing! (Errors aside)
Weird, the page loads but none of the images load for me? Or is the forecast for broken links 😛
Just looked, and yes the images are out atm for me as well.
That's what I got too, on mobile anyway.
Just looked and both the links I initially posted had a corrupt character in them. Quite how that could happen I don’t know, maybe it was the Memmy app. I reloaded the links and they should now be working.
EDIT 1: Arrggh, still the same. I’ll edit it in a browser.
EDIT 2: Same problem with the links posting from a browser. The link includes "=rain®ion" the ampersand gets corrupted.
EDIT 3: Ha, even the text I put in the last edit got corrupted despite being in quotes. The & seems to be the issue.
Let’s try a code post type=rain®ion=nzni
EDIT 4 : Even the code post got corrupted, hmmm, not so wonderful.
Man, it's been a pretty hectic week with moving and all that. A few parts of the body that are aching a bit 😂
Still haven't got Fibre internet (even though we started the process about 6 Weeks ago. The Chorus Techs came on site to do their initial scoping, and said they don't do Shared Driveways (even though we outlined everything in the application) 🤷♂️. Been a whole lot of no communication since then.
Dude sorting out shared driveway BS ended up taking almost 2 years for us.
In the end, I don't think it was even necessary, like they changed the law so that this is no longer an issue. Don't quote me on that.
I printed out a bunch of permission forms and went and talked to all the neighbours and got consent.
Then it was only a matter of more waiting.
Oh don't do that.... You're not giving me hope haha.
It's weird. We had got all the comms saying that the consent process was underway, and then got comms saying it was all finalized and good to go, and then their contractors come around and say that.
Currently on 4G Wireless Broadband as an interim, but it's a bit of a struggle haha
We had the same, contacting 2 others on the drive to get their agreement. Luckily had it done back in 2019 when the initial big push to get it all installed was happening.
I have a thing for nail polish. I can't help it, it's just OOONEWCOLOURLETSGOOOO. I got two today from a $3 store and the fumes are something else. It might be a cheap hobby but I think this brand is going to be reserved for outdoor use only.
