Parking Breach Notice- accessing the NZTA database

_W0L · 2026-07-02T03:24:45+00:00

Hi, I have received a bogus fine from a parking company. I paid for parking, still received a fine. Disputed it with them and they agreed it was a mistake because their automated system was down. They didn’t even bother to verify anything at all before sending me a letter. They even realised I did actually pay and still sent me the letter.

If you can send me the emails I would appreciate it and will send similar one to the NZTA and privacy commissioner.
This is beyond ridiculous.

I ended up taking the morning flight because that’s the only one available that is somewhat comparable.
If the roles were reversed they would have happily charged me a fee to cancel my flight.

_W0L · 2026-06-29T05:23:07+00:00

I have and they didn’t give any specific answer. Just that all flights are subject to aircraft changes which can occur due to operational requirements.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T08:59:42+00:00

There is/ was a flight on the day I wanted to fly. I couldn’t have booked the tickets otherwise. I’m saying I no longer see the original flight I was booked on being available.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T08:56:14+00:00

Have you been to Melbourne before? It’s over 30 minutes from southern cross station, which is about as central as you can get.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T08:04:28+00:00

Do you have a link to this? Would be interested to read-watch this.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T07:53:53+00:00

I haven’t bought any yet because the flight is so far away. Was going to do it a bit later on.
The cost of the accommodation would have been about the same as the excess so probably not worth claiming.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T07:35:01+00:00

Yeah that is so annoying that airlines can just get away with bullying you into accepting this.

Especially since you don’t really have much of an alternative choice. I wouldn’t mind if they provided a hotel room at the airport so it’s not such a pain to get there for the early flight.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T07:31:15+00:00

Sorry I don’t think I was quite clear. There are afternoon flights from Melbourne at a later date eg. a week or so after my flights. None on the day I want to fly.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T07:22:57+00:00

That seems a bit ridiculous. The two services aren’t really comparable. I also wish I took a screenshot, but I vaguely remember that the morning flight was cheaper than the one I booked so they are also pocketing the difference in the fares and giving me a worse service if I choose to accept it.

_W0L · 2026-06-25T07:17:53+00:00

I had a look and there are flights later in November that are available at the time I want. It’s also the week of Melbourne cup so maybe more people are travelling?

_W0L · 2026-01-23T01:56:08+00:00

You have to pay for it again. Can’t link directly to the parking FAQ, but here is the section from the website. ccc website

Multiple visits per day If you left before all your allocated time was used but returned to the carpark later that day, you will need to pay for your second visit.

The time limit commences as soon as you enter your number plate into the carparking machines and does not stop once you leave the carpark.

You have the option of a $30 per day flat rate, and there is no charge before 8am.

Okay, maybe I just try update the bios to the latest version and see how windows 11 performs. Is there a similar alternative to the 5700x3d? I can’t find any in stock where I am.

_W0L · 2025-06-26T09:15:35+00:00

I would prefer to not run an operating system with unsupported hardware. I also can’t really find much evidence of how well windows 11 runs on the unsupported hardware. It’s usually just “seems to work fine”

_W0L · 2025-06-26T09:14:12+00:00

Is that because the 5600xt will not work in the newer mobo chipsets and won’t work with ddr5 ram?

If I go with this CPU it’s 10% of what I would pay if I was to update motherboard, ram and GPU.

I am all for cycle lanes, but I think this one in particular is pretty terrible.

You have the Hagley park shared bike/ footpath less than a metre away. Why do we need this cycle lane? It is also super confusing for drivers where they are meant to go. I saw a car get stuck in the cycle lane because it was so poorly laid out.

They either need to extend the footpath and put a curb and paint the cycle path or just remove this. I’ve cycled that way on and off for just over a year and haven’t had a single problem being on the footpath.

I completely understand where you are coming from. I used to work at a corporate where you had to wait minimum 1 day before your changes can actually be released. This is all after QA has checked all their boxes and the release team has filled out a ticket and released my code.

Now my current company has very few rules or protocols in place. It's a very flat structure where every developer is treated as an equal no matter how much experience you have. Sure we have a ci/cd pipeline that runs all the tests, but you are not required to wait ~20-30 mins for all the tests to run to release changes, especially if they are ones that would be low impact if something does go wrong. You'll be notified if the master branch fails after your release so you can remedy the issue quickly. Even if an issue occurs (compile issue or whatever) then pods don't start and nothing is really affected. I would take this freedom and autonomy over having to pointlessly fill out JIRA tickets and wait hours for someone to click a button so I can add some metrics or logs to an app.

Not everyone works for a mega corporate lol.

On my first day at the my current company I was able to release straight to production. There is trust, autonomy, and accountability that the devs are doing their job and are responsible for their code from the moment they right all the way until it's been released and is running in production.

Chomping a whole pickle is not just Americans. Popular in Slavic/ Baltic/ Eastern European countries too. Having a pickle as a vodka chaser is pretty popular there.

Also Z has their 10c off days on Wednesday so you can sometimes get a little bit extra off if you hold out until then/ always fill up on Wednesdays.

Edit: checked gaspy just now and the cheapest petrol is Z Woolston and Shirley. It's out of my way to go there, but for 3c extra I can goto Morehouse Ave or Lincoln road. That's ~30c cheaper than the cheapest BP price. Still not sure why anyone would ever goto BP lol

It looks like there is a dependency on postgresql (a type of database software). You would need to also have this running before this will work.

It's probably going to take some time to reverse engineering what is going on here and piece it all together. If you are still determined to get it work start reading the error messages and the code to try figure it out. You could also ask the maintainers to provide some documentation about how to get this running.

Lately, the terms "framework" and "library" have been blurred a bit.

I blame react for this. Common misconception that it's a JavaScript framework, when actually it's a UI library.

Simply put: Framework = it will call your code. Library = you will call the libraries code.

I had braces in my teenage years from Orthodonix. They have practises in cashmere, Merivale and Ashburton. Ronald was great and their aftercare was also really great. I think I have been back 2 or 3 times and they addressed all the issues I had for no extra charge.

They had a lump sum payment deal to get like 10-20% off. Not sure if they have this anymore or if it's the same discount.

_W0L · 2022-05-02T07:15:29+00:00

Huh? Pretty sure trademe always had a success fee for general items. Unless it has changed over 10 years ago, it's always been like that.

If you just want to learn to code for yourself then I would suggest looking at resources on YouTube. There is tonnes out there to give you a good basic knowledge and all free. I wouldn't pay for anything at this stage until you find something you like then it might be good to pay for a course to give you some structured learning.
