Pams Chicken chips

chris021 — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 04:23:39 +0000

For the most part i have always bought ‘on brand’ ya know in the chip world, “Bluebirds the word”. Danielle on the other hand is more of a Pams kinda girl. This does lead to the odd… discussion around who is right and wrong.

This time however she has me. Pam’s Chicken chips or ‘Chups’ being kiwi and all are sooo much better. They just have way more flavor! If you are a fan of chicken chips then i really do suggest you try them.

New word of the day – Skux

chris021 — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 04:23:37 +0000

Although I’m no longer 14 or part of the in crowd (Pretty sure I never was) I have nevertheless come across a new word. Skux. After some twitter dialog and enquires, I am still none the wiser. It appears it is one of thoese words that can have totally different meanings depending on location and context. Closest NZ version from urban dictionary states:

can depend, eg: definition in north island high schools is ” a good looking or cool person esp male”, where as in some remote places of the South Island of New Zealand it can mean “shit”
North island: ” man Tama is so skux, i love his hair.. and stuff”
south island: “i took a skux on her lawn man hahahaha!”

However twitter thinks its more “wannabe player”. So yeh. New word of the day. Enjoy.

Day 4 of iPad ownership

chris021 — Sun, 06 Nov 2016 04:23:37 +0000

Well it had been 4 days since I ate my words (again) and purchased an albeit secondhand iPad. In short here is the good and the bad at this point.

The good:
– Battery life
– Web browsing
– The screen
– RDP using Pocket Cloud (Wyse)
– 3G with XT anywhere

The bad:
– Weight of the device
— it’s just a tad heavy to carry everywhere
– Can’t charge of USB
– iPad apps are still a bit limited
– find myself wanting a real stylus
