About me
I’m a senior software developer at Lonely Planet – yes, if the website is broken, it’s probably my fault (or at least I’m close enough to throw stuff at anyone else if they broke it).
Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, I came the wrong way round the world on the way to Melbourne, where I’m currently living.
Stopped off in the US for a bit, lived in London on the traditional OE, spent a winter working at a ski resort in northern Italy, then headed back down under via Thailand.
I’m into the usual geeky activities – making websites do what people want (including this one you’re looking at), playing video games, and running a few blogs about them.
I spend a bit of time on twitter as @madlep

Yup. Voltage converter is what you're after. Make sure you don't mix up the 240v/110v. The device will use the same wattage regardless (the...
