  • Hard News: Meaning well with the money…,

    A wage-earner who claims a tax deduction for making a charitable donation which was not actually made

    And just how would that be done Graeme? I mean NZ is not exactly flooded with FakeReceipt 1.0 software, is it?

  • Hard News: The Southern Apps,

    the full death-by-powerpoint experience

    Anytime it gets too much for me I re-read the Gettysburg Address as PowerPoint.

    Forgive me if you have had this before from me.

  • Hard News: The Southern Apps,

    Rupert Murdoch, who lost 90% of his readership when he put up a paywall at The Times website this year,

    Was it that substantial? I recall reading a figure of 27% just recently.

    At the risk of making the all too easy mistake of not fact-checking, I seem to remember the drop was 27% if you only counted the people who didn't bother to even go to the paywall, but leapt to 90% if you counted the people who reached the paywall and then refused to go further.

    Do some people really chose stats to suit their view?

  • Hard News: The Orcon Great Blend 2010:…,

    we'll see the merging of PA System with front page PA.

    Dreams never lie.

    And maybe I'll be able to get the RSS comments feed to work. (Did send an email to Cactuslab, didn't pursue the matter though)

    "Clowns to the left of me, racists to the right" said frogblog last night.


    Will we start to talk about "Going Coastal" here in NZ as code for vileness?

  • Hard News: The Creepy Party,

    On an older topic, Radio NZ reports that the tenders are now being called (three months after the Budget) for the Pacific Economic Development Agency Ltd funding.

    Richard Pamatatau calls it a U-turn. Well done that man.

  • Hard News: The Creepy Party,

    I am getting responses now that look as though I can connect to the mail server and webmail. But nothing coming through yet.

    Russ, are you using Google Apps for email and hosting? You still need a NZ ISP (and backup?) to connect though don't you?

    And did you look at whether the Apps T&C allow them to datamine the way they do with Gmail etc?

  • Hard News: The Creepy Party,

    Halliburton branding

    Lockheed Martin actually. They are recruiting for a person at Trentham and describe themselves as:

    a world leader in global security provision and currently undertaking a large scale contract for supply of logistics services to the New Zealand Army and NZ Police.
