For those who have been to Queenstown in New Zealand, you will know that it is the party and adventure capital of New Zealand, fact. Also you will know that before you can leave there are a few things you have to have done.

Just to name a few, there is the pure legend that is Ferg Burger, have a teapot at the World Bar, enjoy the views hanging upside down at the Nevis Canyon, go for a swing at the Shotover Canyon. Quite happily I can say I have done all of those, so I thought I might share with you the famous 134m Nevis Bungy jump I did!

Kia Ora! Welcome to my new travel section of my blog, where when I get around to it, will be keeping an online journal so that you can keep up with what I've been doing on my travels!

Currently I am in New Zealand, in the capital Wellington after recently finishing my travels on the Kiwi Experience bus, so I am taking some time out to do some work and it should give me a chance to recap what I have been up to and get it written down.

So check back in a few days where I should have the first post written entailing the details of my trip around the North Island!

I was digging through a collection of old photographs my dad had, and came across one that I had not seen for a long while. The photo is of my Grandad, and we reckon it was taken back in the early 1950's.

Back then he had a passion for motorbikes and racing them, and one day during a race a photographer for a local newspaper took this fantastic photograph that I just have to share.

Could this be one of the earliest fail photos?

Currently the photographer and the newspaper are unknown, but once I find out I will update the post!

It has been just over a week now that I bought my Dell Inspiron 910 aka the Dell Mini, so far it has been a pretty good laptop. I've been writing a review on it for a few days now - and I will post that up later today.

But for now I would like to introduce a new forum started up by a few guys at work to talk about the new Dell Minis!

So come and check us out at MyDellMini.com! See you there!

At work, a day doesn't go by where the old Linux vs Microsoft debate pops up. Its a 50/50 split, half of the room using the Ubuntu (a Linux distribution) and the other half using Windows XP, with one or two Mac's hanging around.

Now we all have our own personal opinion on what we should be using and why. I won't be going into the pros and cons of each, as this isn't the point of this post.

My setup at home consists of one custom built desktop running Windows XP and one Dell laptop running Windows Vista. I do most of my work on my desktop and also use it for gaming, which is why for me its not a good idea to switch to Ubuntu on there as the games won't run on Linux, there is the option of running the games through WINE but I really can't see the point off that right now. But with my laptop, all I use that for is work which is coding based.

When it comes to Linux I am a novice to say the least, I know a few basic commands, but since all the servers we use at work are Linux based, and my VPS is linux based, I really need to learn how to use it more. So I came up with the idea of switching my Windows Vista laptop over to using Ubuntu and try it out to see what all the fuss is about.

I plan on doing the switch this weekend at some point, so I will post updates on how it goes and how easy it is to do the switch. And as a final few words, I would like to say that I have not found any problems yet using Windows Vista, for me its run perfect every time I have used it.
