I've been looking for a decent szechuan place in AKL. Anyone have any recommendations?

When I first started eating Indian food about 25 years ago, I remember that it could be numbingly (and pleasantly) hot. Thse days - not so much. So either I have raised my tolerance-level to chilli or the increased popularity of Indian food (in the Western World) has watered down the dishes to suit our (on average) mild palates.
Simon, I saw that photo-food-blog you linked to a while ago about South Thai/Indian crossover food and I literally (yes, literally) started to salivate.

I did a dumb thing and lost half my post and then wrote it again.
That's what she said. Get a Mac.

I was pretty upset when Tabou in Kingsland closed its doors a few months ago. I can't understand why? It seemed to be doing OK.

Hard News: Dropping the Bomber, in reply to Biobbs,
Neither of which is as monumental as The Pixies.
To paraphrase Danielle earlier:
I have some sort of mental disconnect, obviously. I've never had the faintest appreciation for the Pixies.

You can't attach a file with an iPhone, either...
No, but I could edit the post so that's a bonus. Will try from home later on my Mac ;-)

A common complaint about Apple’s release process is that it’s pretty ruthless about not supporting older versions of software or hardware. Microsoft, being generally more corporate-friendly, go to extremes to keep supporting older versions. Typing this on a corporate Windows XP PC using IE6 I’m inclined to go with Apple’s approach. Especially when PAS renders like this.
ETA: LOL, ie6 failed to attach file and edit-window crashes browser. iPhone to the rescue.

I came to Apple through Linux. In the 90-ies I spent a lot of my time at work with Unix, so Linux was a bit of a geek hobby at home. Windows was always my desktop environment at work and (unfortunately) it still is. I had absolutely no interest in the Macs of the day using the old MacOS. It wasn’t till OS X came along that I began to pay attention.
I switched to Macs at home about six years ago and have never looked back. The underlying Unix satisfies my inner geek probably as much as the terminal.app horrifies most Mac non-geeks. I like to think of OS X as the most polished Linux-distro you could imagine with beautiful hardware to match (yeah, I know - it’s totally not FOSS, quite the opposite, but still).
I’m still a bit apprehensive of the direction Apple may be on with regards to its walled garden App Store, but for now I’m more than happy to keep using Macs. Should it go too far in the closed eco-system direction, I’d be happy to go back to running Slackware on my Macbook Pro.

Were the flags on the bridge put at half mast for Stevo this evening?
No, they were at half mast early this morning already. No idea why.
