I have two young kids and being a protective parent, I needed to find ways to keep them safe on the Internet and on their smart devices such as tablets, mobile phones and personal computers. I wanted to share free tools that I use to achieve this and more importantly give you an idea on […]
We decided to take a quick trip down to Canberra and spend 4 days there during the New Year. We drove down using our Renault KOLEOS and the drive took about 3 hours and 29 minutes (including stops). We rented an apartment in Canberra City (The Metropolitan – London Tower) and was in walking distance […]
I just noticed that I’ve hit the 1000km mark milestone. I don’t believe I’ve ever hit this mark in the past and I do hope I can continue this next year. I keep reminding myself that the World Health Organisation recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week – so that’s what […]
For those of you who were not aware, in Sydney we are currently experiencing a number of bushfires across NSW and most states and Australia. On Tuesday, the haze was pretty bad, probably the worst I’ve seen since living in Australia. According to this World Air Quality website the area that I live in had […]

In a previous post “Configuring the Cisco ASA” I described how I configured the Cisco ASA and I mentioned about the Cisco AnyConnect client. The Cisco AnyConnect client has been working well but recently I noticed the profile hostname changed and it was not loading the correct server. It was getting annoying so I wanted […]
I just created this short video for our ePosters Interactive Digital Signage solution using a cloud-based tool called inVideo. It didn’t take long for me to create the video since there were existing templates I could use. I used images and videos for different parts of the scenes for the video and I hope to […]
Today is World Teachers’ Day in Australia (25th of October 2019). It’s generally held on the 5th of October 2019 across the globe but since this date falls during the Australia school holidays it’s celebrated on the last Friday of October. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to recognise and appreciate teachers and the role […]
Yes, I paid $54.99 to renew one of my expired domains. I accidentally let the domain lapse and it was all my fault. The email forwards that the domain hosting company sent didn’t reach my main mailbox and even though I had reminders set in my calendar, the domain expired. I suffered because of this. […]
I’m not sure if this is the best way to Synch your runs from Samsung Health (I use a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier) to Strava but it seemed to have worked. I was originally synching the data between Google Fit and Strava since the runs synched between Google Fit and Samsung Health but there were […]
I just started using a software tool called Luminar to edit and make photos look “AWESOME”. It can be used for both Windows and macOS and I just wanted to share with you what it can do, especially the AI image enhancer. With this filter it just simply makes the images look so much better […]
Entrepeneural and Motivational Podcasts I’ve been listening to when I am at my desk working, at the gym, running or walking to pick up the kids. […]
Over the past several months, I’ve had to learn a new skill – a technical skill which I had no clue about and it’s related to software development. I decided to write some of the commands and stats I”ve learnt and may potentially forget. So here we go, let me share with you some of […]
During Easter, I decided to create some Vegan Chocolate Eggs and Bunnies. My son is also Vegan (he’s allergic to Egg and Milk) so I decided to make my own chocolate Egg and Bunny. Here’s the recipe I used: https://www.veggiemeals.com.au/recipe/vegan-chocolate-egg-and-bunny/ It was also my first time creating a video recording and editing, he’s the end result: […]
I’ve done it. You’ve probably done it. We’ve all done it! I’m talking about making spelling mistakes in an email, websites or any text-based chats. I recently noticed (on the 26th Feb 2018) a spelling mistake on the web version of the Instagram app (https://instagram.com) and was quite surprised to have discovered this. The word “someone” was incorrectly […]
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and as a Vegan sometimes you’re limited to what you can have. What I’ve been having is cereal with Soy Milk, Traditional Muesli and a banana. It’s a cheap and very healthy meal. I sometimes even have it for lunch. Here’s the cost breakdown: […]
This month is the start of my Vegan journey. I’ve previously already started cutting down on eating egg and dairy. My son has been Vegan since he was born as he has dairy and egg allergies. Since he was born and knowing he couldn’t eat egg and dairy I also decided to partake in his […]

This will be my last post from 2017. It’s been a great year and as always I have learnt something about life. Here are my reflections from 2017: – Words are powerful. Being silent is more powerful. – Our parents are the ones that love us the most. As they age, learn to be more […]
Yes, I still go to the gym. When I recently visited the gym I had to take this photo of a dumbbell. Now I know what’s in a dumbbell – just raw metal. Also this week, I ended up attending a workout class called “Cardio Burst”. From the name you can tell there were cardio […]
