Merry Christmas my friend
Dec 27th
Sorry that I didn’t get my usual deep and meaningful Christmas post up just yet. I just worked 34 hours in 3 nights and I’m a little tired right now. So I hope you’ll understand if I haven’t posted since last week as a result of that. I do intend to post a Christmas message…
Extreme Streetfighter Comeback
Dec 21st
Like many people my age, when we were kids, Streetfighter was a game that a lot of us played when we were up at the local waiting for the papers to be dropped off so we could earn our pocket money and deliver them. Anyway, Streetfighter was a lot of fun in the old days,…
How to Ascend in Guild Wars: Nightfall
Dec 21st
A lot of people come to this site looking for info on how to Ascend in Guild Wars: Nightfall. I’m not surprised that people are so unsure of it because there really isn’t any single “ascension” question that you have to do like there was in Prophecies or Factions. So this post gives you a…

Its Google! They’re screwing us all! Seriously funny story. :-) Go read the whole thing. :-) I’m sure many IT Support and Admin folk out there will relate :-) The president could get a bit emotional at times, and Neal had no idea why he was this time, but whatever the reason, it was important.…

Dec 18th
Om Malik started the discussions about this when he linked to the Observer article on Sunday… Google is on the move.

In New Zealand, there is no longer an analog cellular network now that Telecom has transitioned…
Telecom signs with Yahoo! to replace MSN deal
Dec 15th
Saw this on Forbes and I have to say I’m not really sure how I stand on this. Yahoo! does have a really good brand, but Telecom? New Zealand Telecom announced Wednesday it has formed a joint venture with Yahoo Inc. and Australia’s Seven Network to beef up content on its Internet portal Xtra. Telecom,…
Mobile Gaming vs Consoles
Dec 15th
There is an interesting interview regarding gaming platforms… Essentially, the mobile phone verses the various console platforms. The argument is not entirely off the edge, however I think the person being interviewed, David Gosen of I-Play, does gloss over a number of issues. If we look at the mobile industry as a space, I think…

Site transfered to Blogger Beta
Dec 9th
I took the plunge and upgraded this blog to the Blogger Beta platform. I don’t expect things to go too smoothly, but if you spot anything seriously screwed up that I have missed, please let me know here. Because this site is not hosted on BlogSpot, most of the beta features are pretty much worthless…
