More positions than the Kama Sutra

So uncommon as to be note-worthy ;-) Foreign Minister Winston Peters yesterday launched a blistering attack on the Herald, warning that criticism of his performance could be seen as treason. After a troubled first international outing at Apec in South…
A1 GP Malaysia
Nov 21st
What an awesome event that ended up being. That was probably the best lot of dogfights and racing I’d seen in the series so far. :-) The track was nice and wide with so many places to pass it made the whole event continually exciting. The number of dogfights going on throughout both races was…
Wanted: Programming Grail
Nov 20th
If theres one thing I really dislike about writing code, its the interface we have with our computers. You know, the keyboard and mouse are really not so much of the problem as the fact that representing the information on a screen is. When I write a program (whether it be a shell script or…
Police going to push for slower speed limits

Adserver works again

Hey, what’dya know… All I had to do was upgrade my adserver from 2.0.6 to 2.0.7 and it starts working properly again. Thats truly annoying. :-| Now my friends, do I put the ads back on here or leave things as they currently are? I think I’m definitely going to put the GPstore banner in…
