I am not a technological expert. I am just a self-taught WordPress blogger, and that is the best I can say about my internet knowledge. 我不是技术专家。我是一个自学成才的Wordpress博客作者，这是我能说出的关于我的互联网知识。 [Chinese and Maori Vocabulary: (1) expert = 专家 (Zhuānjiā) = tohunga; (2) technology = 技术 (Jìshù) = hangarau; (3) self-taught = 自学成才的 (Zìxué chéngcái de) = whakaakona-whaiaro; (4) knowledge = 知识 (Zhīshì) = mohiotanga.] Lately, I have received several emails that look like the following: 最近，我收到了几封如下电子邮件： The message simply reads: Password changed for user: [subscriber’s email address]. 该消息仅显示为：用户的密码已更改：[用户的电子邮件地址]。 I suspect that somewhere along the internet chain there is a scammer waiting for prey.

Eddie Who? 埃迪是谁?

We are now living in an information overload age. We can find an answer to any question from the internet. 我们现在生活在信息超负荷的时代。我们可以从互联网上找到任何问题的答案。 Let us take an example. If we are to google “Free Tuition” we can find heaps of websites purporting to provide such ‘free’ tuition but on closer look, such ‘free’ is mostly conditional. To plow off these ‘not truly free’ websites, we find a very limited list. 让我们举个例子。如果我们要使用Google的“免费复习学校课目”，我们会发现许多网站声称提供这种“免费”复习，但仔细观察，这种“免费”主要是有条件的。为了推出这些“并非真正免费的”网站，我们找到了非常有限的列表. When it comes to free online tuition, the name Eddie Woo stands out as a practicing teacher in Mathematics who is genuinely interested in the welfare of his students by providing […]

Build your Lego Dreams

October 24, 2017 FLAI40 Leave a comment

Labour Weekend, Monday 23rd October 2017. What a day for me! Just wished that young James (11) was with me. He would have thoroughly enjoyed this event. Reuben (12) and Ahryn (14) would probably have enjoyed this event too but they are not as keen on Lego as James. Rebecca (12) would prefer her books. Daniel (23) and Olivia (21), as young adults, would have preferred to spend their time on the social circuit. Blake is simply just too young - only a month old. Instead of my grandchildren, I went with my wife and therefore I […]
