Hi there, I'm Ashe.
Ashe de la June


After many years in IT tech support and web dev, I unexpectedly ventured onto a new path. Now I'm in my thirties and have a double degree in Earth Sciences! I am raising fowl, a goat, a horse, four cats and a husband. I spend my free time in the garden and with my animals. Currently, my long-suffering husband and I sleep with one of our cats in the bedroom with a young pullet in a cat cage on a shelf who refuses to sleep with the other chickens! It strangely works out. My husband is an aspiring author writer and often blogs a story about our lives on the farm etc.

I am passionate about chickens, cats, web design, blogging, Pinterest, sprouting seeds, taking cuttings and other gardening, trialling make-up and hair products, baking, writing stories, spinal disabilities, making things and offering all kinds of advice to people.

Being one who loves to read, TaintedBlood.org is an old URL I purchased in 2002, inspired by the Margaret Weis science fiction fantasy Star of Guardians series of novels. Jazhiaran and Ashe are the names of rpg characters I created in the 90s inspired by the Raymond E. Feist fantasy novels following Pug the magician.

Idiots who get sold expensive cables (i.e., "Monster" at Harvey Norman) without blinking. Pfft.



I have to really try and decide who is more stupid - the people who work at Harvey Norman (from the technical advice I've been given by them, I'm not doubting it) or the people who they wrought. This from testimonial at < Cable Chick >
We got a Beyonwiz for Christmas and needed a HDMI cable... $200 in Harvey Norman and $50 through Cable Chick... Christmas is an expensive time of the year so I was thrilled to save $150!!! I was very impressed with the service and will pass the information onto family and friends.

*snorts* I'm afraid, Katie from WA, that you got ripped off even from Cable Chick. Nobody needs a $50 HDMI cable - noone. $200 audio cables maybe. But not HDMI. It'd want to be dripping in gold; not just plated.
