Telecom bullied Government
Dec 8th
Telecom used scare tactics last year to persuade the Government not to make it open up its local network to rivals, a confidential letter from chief executive Theresa Gattung reveals. The letter from Ms Gattung to then Communications Minister Paul Swain, dated May 5, 2004, talks about a potential 30 cent fall in Telecom’s share…
Does Web2.0 = dotCom Bubble 2.0?
Dec 8th
It seems I’m not the only one concerned about Google’s lack of foresight when it comes to provisioning infrastructure. However, some people are now seeing things as being slightly worse than that. Tristan Louis speculates that what we’re seeing from a lot of tech companies at the moment could potentially spell Internet Bubble II. The…
Musings on the coming Google Calender
Dec 7th
I’m a little concerned at the rumors of the Google Calender service being so close you can smell it. Not so much because Google are rolling out a Calender service, but more because I’m not so sure how they’re going to cope with provisioning for it. :-| Google Analytics is a good example of just…
Blogger errors causing me hell
Dec 6th
I don’t know who else is having this problem, but I keep getting a “404 – Page not found” whenever I try to view the blog at the moment. Seriously annoying to say the least. Theres nothing about it in the knowledge base and nothing listed in the news section as being wrong. So this…
American Edit vs Warner Music

Girl on Girl action
Dec 5th
I’m off to pick up a computer, then go to the workshop, but I thought Id end the day with this one. Seriously turn the volume down or wear headphones. The music used is “Smack my Bitch Up” by Prodigy (great song) and it almost suits the video clip itself if you change the definition…
Freaky
Dec 5th
Hmmm… I find this kind of frightening. You Have a Melancholic Temperament Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it’s easy for you to find…
Squirrel revolution has begun
Dec 5th
HA! I was right. You all thought I was nuts for killing every squirrel I saw in World of Warcraft, but now this proves that I was right! They’re going to take over. This is only the beginning I tell you. Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in…
