izardI had to review EcmaScript code from Telecom's ADSL disk that contains some broken software that's only goal
is to make me call a technician to set up DSL and pay 'em 150$.
So if one wants to configure Telecom's DSL, (no docs are availbale, or at least I could not find any), user name is
YOURUSERNAME.xadsl@xtra.co.nz, and connection is PPPOA, everything else is trivial.
This Sunday we went to Rotorua. Any hotel including even backpackers hostel there has a private hot mineral spa, which is good. The downside is that it stinks. Apparently people can get used to it, but I still don't understand how could you eat when you feel not the fine smell of your food but rather some very funny smell that is too bad to describe.
Some photos under lj cut...
This one is a path in Manuka tree bush (Manuka is a kind of Myrtle, and source of most distinguished local honey variety) The taste of Manuka honey is strong and very distinct from any other honey type.
This photo is not mine, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stas_kulesh is the author. It was one of my favorite photos long before we moved here, so I was glad when
I've found a place where it was taken. I've tried to make another one, but I am no master like Stas.
Sulfur bay was entertaining:
We've taken several photos of boiling water with various chemicals (mostly sulfur), and noticed that few people were staring at us. After few minutes, that ppl came closer and started taking photos and videotaping. When we left the plateau, we noticed the sign saying that it is extremely dangerous to enter because in some places the rock is just few centimeters thick and once it's broken you find yourself in boiling water. We did not see it because unlike those ppl we came from bush, not from the trail.
