Just gotten word from WordFence security plugin there’s another critical bug with another plugin I had. The errant plug in has since been killed, but it does highlight a wider issue with regards to maintainability.

Just going to take the opportunity to “Freeze” this site, stop updating it and eventually mothball it. As an otherwise ordinary random member of the public, there is no longer any value in me trying maintain this site let alone bother to air my personal thoughts in a publicly accessible setting. I don’t consider myself a proficient writer and while I’m in I.T / Software Development. Web development isn’t my specialty.

This type of site, the personal homepage, is a relic from the time as a wee kid in the 90s when almost everyone and their pet had a Geocities account or space at their ISP e.g homepages.ihug.co.nz/~userID. Most people have long since moved on to social media platforms.

Email I got back from Fonterra Brands Customer Service regarding not being able to find the larger Anchor Probiotic+ yoghurt tubs…

Dear Fergus,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us.

It’s great that you enjoyed our so much and we’re sorry it’s no longer available.

Here at Fonterra, we want all our products to stand the test of time but sadly it’s not always possible. Occasionally there are circumstances that mean we need to discontinue a product.

Loyal customers mean everything to us and we understand how disappointing it can be. We don’t take these matters lightly and do our best to let fans know about any major changes.

Again, we’re sorry your favourite is no longer on the shelves.

Kind Regards,
XXX X
FBNZ Customer & Consumer Services Team

As a aside, thinking of moving all the thoughts and posts off of this domain and putting them elsewhere. As it currently stands, this site is intended to be a collection of informal public notes and commentary and are certainly not intended to be formal articles or researched reports, but simply my personal reflections as an otherwise little-known member of the public based on available information and lived interpretation at the time of writing them. Admittedly, the domain peak.nz may unwittingly give these thought posts more authority than they ought to receive.
