Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 28/09/2026Turns out. 5G Auto, on Auckland harbour, will constantly fail as it switches towers and bands. 10 second pings or full speed. Constantly. Line of site to towers, too. 5G On works nicely. Difference between being able to work on the ferry and not. 110
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 25/09/2026Happy Northern Exposure Redux release day to those to celebrate. 30 fucking years. It’s older than some of my team mates. 100
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 16/09/2026Borb of the year. Thanks to the Amp folks for their mascot, Puck, as a base. 010
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 26/08/2026I get your rant (and largely agree) but if you actually NEED it, see screenshot also, our normal SLA is like 3 hours. But: INSANE demand. Like 2x over normal. Doctors themselves getting sick etc. The flu thing is very very real right now. 100
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 08/08/2026Can we only recommend 3/4 of recent films (Disclosure Day is shit) 210
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 28/07/2026First machine I got had these as RAM chips They go right thru your finger skin. Blood on the connectors isn’t great. 050
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 20/07/2026The Whakarewarewa Loop is pretty epic. 35km but it’s a fairly low-effort ride on an ebike if you can do that long in the saddle (~3hr). Could do parts with a driver. 260
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 11/07/2026MIlo says hi (he’s under there somewhere. Curled up against my leg) 130
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 27/06/2026Went to reload the rat traps and had to wait for this wee fella to finish their bath time. 010
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 20/06/2026It does appear that way. Cheers from waiheke where I’m having a wine out of The Hazards glass I got when we were on your island last year. After a beach walk. Where I saw a Cairn Terrier. So it was a good day. 110
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 12/06/2026I got a seriously dirty look from this chap when I interrupted his drinking / bath time accidentally 010
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 09/06/202612 years today after spending a lonely 6 weeks at at SPCA. (He’s 16 or so) 170
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 28/05/2026That thing when you get a new laptop and you realise, to your HORROR, that you are 1 @pepperraccoon.com sticker short! How can I have a laptop without the No Gods Only Trash panda? Fixed, shipping, phew. 120
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 22/05/2026So sealink have done a kiosk for tickets. Which is good. Except to get the waiheke resident deal you need to login. With a username and password. In a public space. Seen 2 people walk away without using it. Some didn’t know password, some noped for security. 110
Nic Wise @fastchicken.co.nz · 21/05/2026Bit of Old-ish Skool Psytrance today. Loving the idea of what @sachajudd.com and co are looking to with Lume. I've been trying to make a "scan an NFC tag (with album art on it) on the phone, start it playing in Plexamp on the stereo" thing work. Feels a lot like the old "put a cd in" model. 130
