I’m very chuffed with ecto. Not only does it drip with Cocoa-ish goodness but it makes posting far too easy. But my trial period is about to run out. Never mind, the weak US dollar makes shareware wonderfully cheap. On the downside the US dollar makes Apple hardware sting over here. Renaissance (the sole NZ [...]

Me vs. the Gorge
I went mad today and biked to work. Bar a short steep uphill in the suburbs it’s all downhill. The problem is coming the other way when suddenly you’ve got to climb the Nauranga Gorge. But I’m chuffed as I made it without any stops. So chuffed I might just repeat this all tomorrow. Huzzah!
Oh bugger

We also went go-karting last night out at North City Raceway. Nice track, fast carts and a lot cleaner than the last one I tried. Fantastic fun.
You are now lawfully married
Well, the wedding has come and gone and I am now a responsbily married man. Possibly. We were mad enough to start our holiday by driving the 8 hours to Auckland, leaving Wellington at 9pm. Fast trip, but little sleep was had by anyone. Especially by my parents, although it did get them some practice [...]
