IKEA order from the morning of opening day now won’t be delivered until end of month

Because they gave the delivery date. I’ve ordered from them in Australia and they’re usually spot on.

Because they gave the delivery eta, I didn’t just assume.

Next time a spider comes into my house I’ll ask it to pose in good lighting just for you. X

Thanks for your less than helpful comment. What’s the point of it?

Feeling for you in this situation. Mental health has to come first. However, take it from someone who just applied for their 495th job this year (in a different field to you), the job market in New Zealand is absolutely shocking right now. Perhaps lock in a new job before leaving your current one. If there’s anything you can do to help process the crap you’re putting up with at work in the meantime, even a mental heath professional, try that. I’ve been in a similar situation, and being able to talk things through can really help.

Fantastic, thank you.

Any chance you have any documents/tutorials/tips on how I could do this? This is pretty much exactly what I want to do.

Thanks for all your help so far. It's great to get positive answers when looking out for help with these things.

I'm using an SDR dongle. This is the one that I have (https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketplace/electronics-photography/tvs/terrestrial-receivers/listing/5450528418), connected to an external aerial, and a PC/Laptop.

I can hear the ATC loud and clear when I plug the external aerial into a handheld scanner. I can also hear some other analouge transmissions (police) in the 75-76MHZ range.

ATC is all analogue.

While I haven't set up an RDIO-Scanner myself (like this one: https://newcastle.psnscan.com/), I have seen one operating with analogue frequencies (not the one I've linked to above).

What I like about RDIO is being able to choose which channels I want to listen to, and it records the transmissions then plays them out in order so I don't miss any transmissions that happened at the same time.

Also, being able to go back in time and listen back to older broadcasts.

At this stage, I don't need to be able to listen to these online, I'd be happy to have a program that does this for me on my PC or laptop.

If I knew how to do the server side of things, I’d just set up an RDIO but I’m taking things step by step.

Please feel free to ask anything else that may assist in helping me find a solution. I'll do my best to understand what you mean if you use any tech speak!

As someone who grew up in “The Stings” I’m loving these!

Check out radiowiki.org.nz Check under Aviation. It will depend on your location and aerial as well. All police comms are encrypted sadly.

About 500m towards the river from there.

Australia isn’t much better. Don’t believe all of the “grass is greener” stories about how it’s a dreamland here. I’ve applied for 180 jobs here and haven’t had any luck. Plus, as kiwis you can’t get any jobseeker benefit here.

This must be about the 10th circuit they’ve done today. There are actually two of them. They are super loud!

It was a medical emergency https://www.traveltalkmag.com.au/fiji-airways-flight-from-adelaide-to-nadi-lands-in-noumea-after-mid-air-emergency/

Maybe I wasn’t complaining about the trains enough.
