Facebook just launched a new location-based service called ‘Facebook Places‘ where people can check-in to locations using their mobile phones and let their friends know where they are AND tag YOUR location without your consent.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about sharing, communicating and engaging online. I do it for a living. But I like to have some degree of control over what I share. If I want to let my friends know where I am then I’d rather do the announcing myself. I don’t want to give people license to tag me in places where I may or may not be.
If you’re like me and don’t like everyone to know where you are every minute of the day then it’s best to disable this new feature in your Privacy Settings.
I am keen to protect not only my privacy but most especially my family’s privacy from applications that can violate this. There are too many creepy people, thieves and stalkers out there in the world and you don’t need to give them the power to find you or know your whereabouts ALL THE TIME.
So, in the interest of helping you out, here’s a step-by-step instruction on how to disable Facebook Places in your Privacy Settings.

Greetings, yes we are back from our short excursion over the ditch to the land of kangaroos and blowflies!
Can’t say that the trip started well but it did improve and we all had a very enjoyable few days in Melbourne.
As I mentioned, things didn’t start well and then they got worse! We had to rise at 4am Friday morning and we drove to Christine’s business partners house near the top end of Harewood Road before all catching a taxi to the airport.
Got to the airport no problem….but where was our backpack with our camera and some other items in it?.

This child is definitely mine.
We even walk the same way. Same stride. Same gait.
Who walked it better? LOL

If you are familiar with New Zealand’s Biosecurity regulations, you will be able to appreciate my happiness in finding out that the longed for, craved for, Krispy Kreme donuts can be brought into the country without a problem!

Well, I wasn’t sure the donuts were allowed but I just had to try.
On my recent trip to Melbourne, I bought a 3 x half-dozen boxes of these creamy delights!

and like I said, no problem at all when I arrived in New Zealand.
As long as you declare the food items you have and present it to the MAF officials at the airport, you shouldn’t encounter any difficulties. They’d either let you in or tell you to bin the item.
So guess what I’m going to be buying and bringing into the country every month?
Goodbye diet! LOL
