  • I’ve been Social Networking with Laurel Papworth

    Wow, and ouch – my brain is full… I’ve just spent the last 2 days with Laurel Papworth, University of Sydney lecturer, and online communities consultant. She’s been over this side of the Tasman to chatting about the opportunities and futures in the online communities space, specifically around the social networking area. Without sounding too […]

  • Coolness Roundup *added to list

    I’ve discovered a new Podcast/gadget site today called ‘Coolness Roundup‘. It lies in the same vein as my other gadgety sites Engadget, Gizmodo and eHomeUpgrade so – expect my tech lust to increase over the next few weeks while I catch up with the back issues… If you want to add the podcast feed to you […]

  • Yeah – that ought to almost do it…

    Yeah… 100Gb/s – that’s what I’m talking about!! I just saw this article on Engadget about the University of California who have sucessfully stood up a 100Gb/s link over fibre between Houston, Texas and Tampa, Florida. Now THAT kind of speed to the premisis would certainly support multiple HD streams for all the TV and PVR devices […]

  • Too Cold for Technology?

    Well, I’ve spent a few hours on and off over the last few weeks looking out for some technology to recommend to Kevin who is about to head off to the south pole to have himself another adventure. The Kiwis on Ice Expedition is almost ready to go and they’re on the lookout for a […]

This entry will cover the unpacking and installation of one of the […]

  • The Boss(es Boss) is Blogging!

    Hurrah, welcome to the blogosphere Miki Szikszai! We’ve been discussing internal communications within our team for some time now, and recently had an offsite at which our profile was hotly debated. Blogging was one of the ways we identified we could raise our profiles internally and (where appropriate) externally. So, at some stage last week, […]

  • Catching Casts Just Got Easier

    Hey wow, I just recieved an email from Adam Zand from Topaz Partners (who are the doing the PR for the guys who brought us the MyPodder software which I blogged about here). Russell Holliman and his team have built on the MyPodder application since I last blogged about it and are releasing MyPodder formally […]

  • Google is going to take over the world…(still)

    Ah yes, Google have released a new volly of shots across the bows of their compeditors in the online space… This time, they’ve come out with a web page hosting solution “Google Page Creator“ which I’ve just signed up to try out.

  • Blogging from my Browser…

    Okay, I’m supposed to be on holiday, but since the in-laws are running a Bed & Breakfast called The Olde Millhouse B&B in Renwick, Marlborough they have got themselves broadband (yep – ADSL ‘JetStream’ is even avalible in the South Island!) so they can stay on top of their guests emails and stuff. Anyway, it […]

  • Backing up this Blog

    Well – since I’m gettign a bit more organised at home with our renovations, it seems to be trickling down into my online/digital life too. I then got to thinking, how MUCH would it suck if I lost my blog entries? I figured the answer was “Quite a lot”…
