I, Kiwinewt, am a TechnoHippy.

Technohippies are a breed of their own. They are not malicious, but only interested in the way things work. They have a broad wisdom of many different technologies. Ignorance and hatred is looked down upon by the technohippy. The technohippy embraces the environment and will do as much as they can to protect it and help it flourish. All in all, a technohippy is a philosophically-open eccentric geek.

Life Update

Posted by kiwinewt on 16 February, 2010

So, you may have noticed (if you do) that I kinda failed on my Project365. It’s because I ended up having a couple of grumpy days that I didn’t want to remember, with lots of MrGrumpyNate. Thankfully I got over these, but haven’t had the time, energy or enthusiasm to get back into taking photos.
Why?
Because [...]

2009

Posted by kiwinewt on 29 December, 2009

1. What did you do in 2009 that you’d never done before?
Get married (Not planning on doing it again either!)
2. Did you keep your New Year’s Resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I don’t think that I had any New Years Resolutions this year. I will soon post what I aim to accomplish [...]

Progress

Posted by kiwinewt on 5 December, 2009

Congratulations on the successful completion of the 102 course and now also the SIT Certificate in Organic Horticulture.
Overall your work has been excellent as usual and it has been a pleasure having you study. Your work is always well done and great to be completed ahead of time like this (much appreciated at this end) [...]

Curious…

Posted by kiwinewt on 30 November, 2009

Has anyone thought about what happened to the global population around the time of the last recession? Baby boomers sound familiar?
In the group of parents at my step-daughters preschool, there are 15-20 pregnant women…

Forward planning

Posted by kiwinewt on

Hopefully, now that I have got *most* of the design in place for Kiwinewt.Geek and WebToday, I should be able to get a new design done for this site.
Does anyone have ideas on what they would like to see as part of this? One addition I will add is a flickr feed on the sidebar [...]

Soap Nuts Review

Posted by kiwinewt on 22 November, 2009

A while ago I was given a bag of soap nuts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapindus). I have just finally gotten around to making up some liquid soap from them.
The instructions that come with them say to use a cup of soap nuts to a litre of water and simmer for 20 minutes, which I followed. Oddly enough, the [...]

Project 365

Posted by kiwinewt on 21 November, 2009

I have now mentally committed myself to Project365 – take a photo a day for a whole year. I think that the coming year is going to be really interesting and filled with a few interesting events – the birth of my first child, the hopeful quitting of my job and working for myself, etcetera [...]

Its quiet… Too quiet…

Posted by kiwinewt on 20 October, 2009

At the moment I have been a bit busy with things around life that have been taking up too much time. One of these is getting business issues, such as marketing, sorted.
I am, however, getting on top of these again now and will get into development as soon as I am able. Tonight I even [...]

OK so…

Posted by kiwinewt on 31 May, 2009

Given that I am currently a bit disinterested in technology… I will be putting a bit more gardening stuff on my blog. I suppose that if I do this it may actually be a decent change over the current trend of a long, slow death for my blog…
Tomorrow, I shall go out and take photos [...]
