Feedback follow-up
Mar 22nd
The biggest feedback on the new look so far is that the font is too small. Yup. After looking at it with content for a while, I agree. So on Sunday evening, when I will finally get another chance to sit and spend some time at the computer, I’ll fix that up and make it…
A night in the cell block
Mar 20th
So tonight I had the pleasure (is that the right word?) of spending the whole evening in the cell blocks at Waitakere City Police Station. A most enlightening and entertaining evening that introduced me to the wonders of just what police (and guards) have to put up with in the area. Now, before you get…
WTF happened here???
Mar 20th
Okay, so I decided that even though I’ve not had any time to post anything of late, and all the posts I keep saying I’m going to do have gone out the window (well, gotten stuck as drafts I’ll never finish) I thought I’d put the first part of my new scheming online :-) Yes,…
A chance to breathe
Mar 8th
This is crazy. I can barely walk. My feet are killing me. Tuesday and Wednesday I walked around 18km each day in that one damn store. You may not think thats much, but when you’re constantly on your feet for the whole 18 hours, thats a lot. I was fully intending to post daily stories…

I FOUND HIM! I found Beavis!!!! Okay, so maybe it wasn’t me that found him, but this is pretty damn scary that there is a real person that looks so much like him. Rob would be seriously impressed. :-) Butthead still remains at large, but the police are looking. :-) Beavis here was found when…

Rickards et al
Mar 3rd
Well now, suddenly everything is out in the open and all has been made Very clear in regards to Clint Rickards. Its taken nearly a year, but we can finally talk about the information that was suppressed last year during the Louise Nicholas case. Remember those women going around handing out the fliers in the…
First week over
Mar 3rd
There is so much I want to say about the place I’ve been guarding of late. I really don’t know where to begin. To call it a hell hole is being nice, and to say the management is bad is an understatement. Fortunately for me, I’m not going to be there permanently, but I’m not…
What do you think of the new portals?
Mar 1st
Now the portal war is really on in New Zealand. With the contract between Xtra and Microsoft ending back in February, XtraMSN is dead and dusted. On March 1, Xtra took the covers off their shiny new partnership with Yahoo! and showed us all the new portal, Yahoo!Xtra. But are things any better now that…
