Hard News: The Waterview Bore, in reply to Russell Brown,
Great shot! I'm a little jealous of this round, was planning to chuck a photoessay of all this work on Capture, but an infected knee kept me off the bike for a whole week.
I've been watching this development since it began, since I traverse Gt North Rd constantly, and the other end is right over the back fence of some good friends. They have mentioned many times the excitement of feeling the development literally, the blasting through the bedrock sends some pretty big shockwaves.
Pretty massive land acquisition on the Gt North Rd end. That pic of Russell's, showing what looks like a big carpark - 6 months ago that was a suburb. Amazing how fast they cleared it.

Hard News: The Waterview Bore, in reply to Matthew Poole,
Or there'd have to be a very expensive dredging operation to create and maintain a channel.
It's only 800m to the existing channel coming out of West Park marina, from the tip of Te Atatu Peninsular. At the south end, there's a channel all the way to Te Atatu Bridge, which is why the boat club is there. From West Park, which faces a big commute, the channel already exists. Beachhaven and Greenhithe also have good access.

Capture: Someone, Somewhere, In Summertime, in reply to Gudrun Gisela,
interesting contributions fron Stephanie & Ben Wilson.
Note that mine are based on el-cheapo second hand bikes. Newer and/or more expensive ones are a different experience, range and effort-wise. I never paid more than $300, but if you drop $1500 you'll get a different class of bike. Spend $5000 and it's something else again.
Mind you, in Christchurch, an unmotored pushbike is a pretty good option if you want to go slower?

Capture: Art On The Street, in reply to Chris Waugh,
Fat boy
Am I imagining it, or is the only non-brown part of him the tip of his penis? Is that deliberate, from wear, or vandalism?

Dark Side of the Moon, presumably? :-)

Does she call me auntie, you mean?
That's what I should have meant.

Do you call her Auntie?

Hard News: The mathematics of marriage, in reply to Geoff Lealand,
Nice. I was thinking that shit through yesterday, and remembering precisely how normative database design ends up being in practice. Ironically, making the database more and more flexible is a process called "normalizing".
ETA: Link back should be to Anth's comment.
ETA2: The comments thread is great, most of the things I thought of reading it came up. Best one was:
You never store Business Logic in your Database!
ETA: Also, the transitivity of marriage stood out like a sore thumb as a false assumption

Yes, perfect, although possible more undies underneath to disguise what an obviously cold day it was.
Or any of these barring the guy at the back, who is clearly going straight to hell.
Mind you, this one seems the most dak-proof. And the missus can make it for you, to keep her hands occupied and mind from idle licentious thoughts.
this bloke looks altogether too happy, although his kit is perfect.

Bob McCoskrie comes hurtling down in his speedos...
I imagine him to be more of a stripey full body one-piece kind of guy, possibly with a bathing hat. You can't be dakked in one of those, and no-one can see your nipples. He's probably not heard of the atomic wedgie.
