Bye Don
Nov 23rd
It pisses me off, and I seriously think its the wrong move, but theres not much any of us can do about it. I think this is the worst decision he could’ve made, but then again, its not me in the firing line. Don Brash has resigned as leader of the National Party. I feel…
PS3 vs Wii – Video comparison
Nov 23rd
For months Ian and I have had this friendly sparing going on about the PS3. He’s been all for it, and I’ve kind of been all “Meh” about it. :-) As most people know, about the only console thats gotten me excited is the Nintendo Wii. Nintendo are all about fun first. Sony and Microsoft…
What to do… What to do…
Nov 22nd
Okay…. I’m suffering a dilemma! A rather significant one at that given the choices before me. But hard though it may be, I must make the choice. ;-) Okay, the choices are… Guild Wars Nightfall Collectors Edition Or… finally dump my 6 year old phone and upgrade to the Motorola SLVR L7? I can get…
Every Time You Vote against Net Neutrality, Your ISP Kills a Night Elf
Nov 21st
I saw this on Terra Nova and just had to comment on it. It IS something I had thought about myself, but not something I had ever really considered the implications of. I looked at it more from the FPS perspective. Guys playing Counter Strike going nuts over their 700ms ping times ;-) See who…
Universal Music Group sues over parody
Nov 21st
You wouldn’t dream of it. Found this via Techdirt. After suing MySpace last week, UMG has suddenly decided they’re not happy shooting just one foot, they want the other as well. So this week Universal Music Group has sued Bank of America for a parody of U2′s One that was performed live at a Corporate…
Ballmer says MS IP in Linux
Nov 18th
Sorry folks… Work this past week and then a trip to Dargaville today have kept me rather busy lately. But before I recap the past few days, I wanted to point out something that caught my eye. Steve Ballmer isn’t exactly known for his… patience? I think this time, he’s managed to be a little…
Submit your Stadium views to the ACC
Nov 15th
Whale Oil has posted up a note saying that the ACC has finally decided that maybe asking Auckland citizens would be a good idea after all. So they have apparently set up multiple ways for you to let them know your thoughts on where the stadium should be. The Council asks that you provide your…
MS Firefox 2007 Professional
Nov 15th
Okay… Seriously couldn’t resist posting this. Its damn funny :-) Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce you to Microsoft Firefox 2007. The new and improved version of Firefox. All the benefits of a Microsoft product, hiding behind the interface of a Mozilla browser ;-) Yes, its fake, but its funny. :-) Sometimes The Register does have…
Blog-lite till the weekend
Nov 15th
With the new job starting for me this evening, blogging is going to be light for the next couple of days until the Weekend. I will be working the evening shift out at Westgate and am spending the day time hours trying to get other things done instead of blogging. I dread to think what…
I’d use GPL Solaris
Nov 14th
Just a completely off the wall note… Everyone that knows me knows I’ve been using Linux since about 1994. Back in the good ol’ days when things were for fun and learning and just generally for the hell of it. Its a pretty long time to use Linux I think. Part of the thing that…
