I do casual tech help and help with purchasing the right tech to suit your needs for a koha. Happy to sit down with people and discuss what you need then help you do the upgrade/data transfer etc.
PS: @thesewphist.bsky.social I got one of your wallets and a journal for #SecretSantaAoNZ. Love both, not really a journalling person though so if I don’t find a use for the journal I might regift it and share the love!

@kats-garden.nz I got given one by local maker @thesewphist.bsky.social for #SecretSantaAoNZ, I love it!

Late call for #SecretSantaAoNZ - I finally have a #PeerTube account on https://spectra.video and have uploaded my whimsy-vid to there.
https://spectra.video/w/go9scwGav55p2RXUHBJAKT
In time, I will migrate the handful of YouTube videos I have over to https://spectra.video as well.

I just got home from a week and a half on holiday to find a copy of my #SecretSantaAoNZ letter that had some edits applied and an extra gift for the kids! Thank you Santa, it wasn’t necessary but I’m sure the kids will like.

Ngā mihi anō Hana Kōkō ❤️
For tonight's Family Games Night, we played Bean Boozled, and came to the decision that it was rigged, after all of us got a run of three foul ones in a row. So we switched to Rat-a-tat-CAT.
Whole family enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you again #SecretSantaAoNZ

*Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzzt* Robots heart has grown three sizes. But now Robot's job is done. The nudges are sent, the joy has been found. Robot can sleep now. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight. And always remember #SecretSantaAoNZ.....

@NZChineseGenealogy I'm so pleased we were included here on Mastodon. I'm sure it was a pain for the #SecretSantaAoNZ team to make it work, and I'm super grateful. 🙏

And to our makers, Wow! #SecretSantaAoNZ As always you guys are incredible. How wonderful and special for people to receive something made especially for them. It is such an honour to be given something made for you, based on your tastes. Awesome work.

I did it! I made it to the end of the opening day posts! #SecretSantaAoNZ I am normally online all opening day pretty much but couldn’t be this time & have had a busy few days since. Wow, Santas!!! You did amazingly. I love that so many support local makers & authors, have 2nd hand and made gifts.

Hey #SecretSantaAoNZ folk! Do you know who your Santa was?

Chocolate "Salami" recipe. I normally split the mixture into 2, when I put it on the icing sugar covered bench. This makes two smaller logs / salami which fit in the fridge better. 1/n #cook #recipe #food #SecretSantaAoNZ @[email protected]

Be interesting to see how much effect this has next time #SecretSantaAoNZ
Only in my dev environment for now, but it works.

Still waiting for the peertube account request to happen …
Sorry #SecretSantaAoNz ! I’ll go ahead and post it on YouTube if I’ve not heard back by tomorrow.

I'm a curmudgeon by nature, every time we kick off #SecretSantaAoNZ I'm worried it won't work. Because there's no way it could possibly work. But it does, because a lot of people really do care about bringing a bit of Joy to a stranger or a pocket friend. It's a happy thing.

So the little secret of Elfing #SecretSantaAoNZ is that I consider all of you my giftee in a way 😁. I'm way behind and still catching up on opening day, but there is so much joy, so much happy and it makes me smile.
-
How good did my terrible day get? 💯 Santa has blown my mind! A Christine Harris sugar bowl in a pattern I didn’t even know existed an a gorgeous espresso cup and saucer in my favourite tamarillo yonic pattern!!! And White Chocalate Whittaker’s give me my sun etc #SecretSantaAoNZ
-
This afternoon I've had two cups of fine Twining's Tea, two Ferrero Roche and an Old Gold mini choc.
Happy Days and all thanks to my #SecretSantaAoNZ 😊Haven't used the cup yet, it's too nice. I might just look at it.
-
Larissa, Jaide ++ You elves rock... 😊 thank you for running #SecretSantaAoNZ matching us all up, prompting, coaxing and for always being there to cheer gifts sent, arrived and opened

I appear to have made a mix up with what I thought was my Secret Santa parcel! which means I get a new gift today but I am very sorry for any angst I have inadvertently caused my Santa, I will be popping back to my letterbox soon to check things out #SecretSantaAoNZ
-
A bit later in the day, the in-house product review specialist got to work testing the materials.
-
Can you imagine!? Whittakers used to be on the other site. We should make it a goal to get them over here. And get them to develop a #SecretSantaAoNZ flavour. Lol!
-
Whelp. That's #SecretSantaAoNZ done (winding down anyway), so my use of this account to read, like, & watch all the fun for the non-bridged accounts is pretty much done. Back to dormancy here, but you'll find my bridged Mastodon Toots over on @[email protected]

Came back to the office this afternoon, having been at a long, difficult meeting, & found the best gift on my desk. #NanaimoBars - something I really really really miss from home (🇨🇦). Thank you so much. You are the best #SecretSantaAoNZ. You have absolutely given me so much joy. 🥰🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Local (Wellington) friends. I'm taking part in my first ever craft market with the Village Beads whānau. There'll be felting (by me!), jewellery, beading, ceramics etc for sale. All will make great gifts.
⏰5.30pm TOMORROW (Thurs 18th Dec)
📍Where: Abandoned Brewery PetoneYum food & drinks available from the bar, and there'll be some music. Dogs & kiddos welcome.
If you're in the area, please come! I'm weirdly nervous about it.
-
I would say I'm a techy/nerdy geek. Love Star Wars, and Star Trek, pretty much all SciFi really. Huge Discworld fan. Like Lego.
Fairly run of the mill middle aged white guy stuff i guess.
Very hard to offend - and I swear a lot more than I do online.
-
We also have a "family game night" each week, so if you've got a favourite card game that's in budget, that would be great!
We've got Uno & Uno no mercy. We also have the Cluedo card game, one about growing beans (actually fun!), monopoly card game, and a Star Wars escape card game. Oh, and CAH. Obviously 😂
-
I do love stationery! I use a fountain pen (with refillable cartridge) as my main writing pen. A previous Santa bought me some sealing wax and a seal, which i still use to this day (my will is sealed with it for instance).
I have also been gifted some watercolour pencils which I often use in my model painting (they're great for rust effects etc).
-
I don't really do "fun socks" (I really CBF pairing them), and any t-shirts etc need to be 3XL or larger - not (just) because I'm fat, but because I need the length because of my height.
I don't really "do" hats. And I seldom wear anything for pins/ badges (except i do have a Tino Rangatiratanga pin for my suit lapel).

#SecretSantaAoNZ. #Hints Hi Santa. Most importantly, Have fun! Anything handmade, recycled, repurposed, or second hand is ok. Currently my paperclips are stored in their small cardboard box.If you are in an op-shop & see something beautiful that could hold them, think of me. 1/n

Third sub-thread. Another link back to Twitter days... this time not so easy to navigate.
A list of 100 (un)interesting things about me....
-
Far too many! I bake, decorate cakes, paint canvas, build models, paint miniatures, sew, program code, volunteer with the New Zealand Cadet Forces, build Lego, and am learning Te Reo Māori... but they do all tend to be inside hobbies. Again, my @crafty account is a good pointer.
-
For an average cis male, about what you'd expect. I have no piercings, so I usually only wear a toki pounamu, my 4-colour gold puzzle wedding ring, my engagement silver bangle, a cheap AliExpress health/activity ring, and a watch. Oh, and reading glasses, if they count?
-
Hmm... as little as possible 😂 I'm probably a bit of a closet hoarder, so it's not a great thing.
Saying that, i have lots of Lego. I have a lot of material (I sew), more paints and brushes than you can count (I paint models), and probably too many Raspberry Pis... you can see some of my stuff over on my @crafty account.
-
I've never understood this whole "favourite colour", "favourite number", "favourite food" thing. Even as a kid, I could never understand how anyone could prefer a number over any other numbers... that's not changed as I've grown up.
So... knock yourself out and go wild 😁
-
No dietary restrictions. I'll eat pretty much anything put in front of me. But I do have an incredibly sweet tooth. And I love "fizzy sour" lollies too.
For contentious stuff, love feijoa, love peas in Mac'n'cheese, love tinned spaghetti hoops (not a fan of them on pizza), pineapple on pizza is great.
-
Sub-thread kick off number 1... hints.
Pets... I'm a cat person, not a dog person. That said, my cat has passed on, so I now steal cuddles with my wife's cat.
I also live with her two dogs (Bert, mini Schnauzer, and Leuy, a psychotic Lowchen).
Also have a couple of tropical marine fish.

#SecretSantaAoNZ is this thing on?
Donkey is my nickname (after the annoying talking animal in #Shrek). Kāihe is #TeReo for donkey, or ass.
Things not listed in my bio/pinned posts, I’m a fan of:
• #Firefly
• #DoctorWho
• #Pixar Movies (the earlier ones, really)
• #Capybara (my spirit animal)
• #StarTrek (#StarWars is fun, but - if I had to choose just one - it’d be Trek. All of them except Enterprise)
• #Jacinda’s politics of empathyUmmmm … not sure what else to say - it’s been a while since I last did #SecretSantaAoNZ back in the old days when the bad place was the good place.
