Bargain Hunter now Live -- Looking for Bloggers!

A shameless plug for the website I have been wanting to launch for years now. www.bargainhunter.com.au went quietly live in February. I’m now looking for extra content for the site from bloggers and people who are willing to write full articles.

I’ve had some interesting feedback about the site from the beta testers (thanks to all of those who did some testing and provided feedback!). One thing I had forgotten is that I had already disassociated the ‘bargain’ part of the URL from my thinking. There are so many deal sites out there that long ago I decided it was going to be re-shaped as a shopping hub of information about how to shop and where to shop for certain things rather than having just special deals.

Also the feeds from other sites which did log ‘bargains’ and deals were seen to be akin to advertising. I plan to move those to somewhere more suitable. Maybe a ‘deals’ page? I also wanted to make use of the existing online catalogues similar to what Lasoo already do. There are a couple of sites out there that do this already but I don’t think it has captured the attention of the web community. Or maybe it’s just me they haven’t captured!

Would love more feedback about the site if you have some or just head over there to check it out and contribute on the forums! Let me know if you are interested in blogging as well. I really do need some more content Smile .

Fitness Passport membership locations on a map

My Fitness Passport membership is now live! Woohoo! So I get access to a heap of gyms and pools and classes. For someone who isn't interested in a gym membership I'm not quite sure why I have joined!! Peer pressure. I'm very fortunate that I have the opportunity to join this type of membership as then I can go just about anywhere in NSW. The membership site gives you a list of them but I had no idea how close they would be to either work or home so I copied and pasted the details into a Google Sheet and then put them in a Google Map. I thought it may be useful for others too. You can access the map by this link too: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=10hH5PtKlBzeEzV6AoLev4vxqNoDxzR6y&hl=en&usp=sharing

Magic Mirror - IKEA frame hack

Somehow I stumbled on the Magic Mirror project and of course I wanted to build it. Forget that I was in the middle of another mirror project (still not finished) but this one is now built! Here is the finished product (still a bit messy as I put a small console type table under the mirror): The console table was added... as I needed to hide the power point from my dogs who like munching on power cables if too accessible. Before I mounted it on the wall I had it propped up on a dining room chair... There are plenty of resources on how to get the magic mirror tech side of things done. The key resource is the Magic Mirror site: https://magicmirror.builders/ I've also used Google a lot and Jayen helped me a lot too on various bits and pieces. The main thing that is different is the way I put the frame/mirror component together. Here are the high level details (oxymoron?): 1. bought mirror tint from Aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/50x100cm-W

The Croissant Diet Experience with a CGM - Sept 2020

I've been on the bandwagon of The Croissant Diet (TCD) for a little while. Maybe 6 weeks or so. And I thought I should document things a bit. There was a great summary by Brad Marshall on Twitter on what The Croissant Diet actually is: Eat LOTS of long chain Saturated Fat and avoid PUFA like the plague. Also avoid MUFA. If you want to eat some starch, go for it! But smother them in SatFat. That’s the whole thing, really. — FireInABottle (@fire_bottle) September 21, 2020 What I'm eating: Meat - beef or lamb mostly as this is low in PUFAs and high in stearic acid. Fats for cooking - tallow or butter. Enhanced with stearic acid. Eggs - cos they are a great whole food. Usually cooked in tallow or butter (enhanced with stearic acid if I remember). Butter Cream for tea Coffee - usually black Low carb "carbs" -- Atkins crispbread and Woolworths Macro bread. These have vegetable oils so not great but I try and overwhelm it with lots of butter. But generally not some
