But sighting instead of scanning passes will be sufficient, the Prime Minister says.

Having email issues? Using Microsoft Outlook? Well, you're not alone...

From Microsoft:
"We’re investigating an issue with email message visibility in Outlook. Outlook on the web appears to be unaffected. More details can be found under EX255650 in the admin center."

TL;DR: Scammers are back, don’t fall for people ringing from Google.

Well, well, well, looks like scammers are back. I just had a call from someone claiming to be from Google telling me that I had hackers in my computer and if they didn’t get them taken care of they were going to have to cancel our licence.

The lady kept talking in circles and wouldn’t provide me with what licence she was talking about. Eventually she asked me to go to the Windows Event Viewer to look at some entries in there (unfortunately my computer wasn’t on at the time so I couldn’t describe things right and she called me on it, called my acting bad if you can believe it).

She ended by telling me that they were going to cancel the licence for my computer, and after I accused her of being a scammer, she asked why I didn’t just hang up, so I replied “If I’m talking to you then you can’t be scamming someone else.” At which point she hung up.

Rule of thumb in these situations is to not let strange people into your computer, trust your friendly IT support team, and if in doubt give your IT support a call and they can help. Make sure your antivirus programs and Windows are up to date.

If you're looking for some way to keep your power packs up off the ground and out of the way, then call into the Timaru Sewing Centre and grab some Velcro strips.

We've just grabbed a couple of metres of hooks and loops (sold separately) and we're cutting them to size as we need them. 🤓
