  1. We're hiring a PHP dev, if anyone knows someone... Best company I ever worked for! seek.co.nz/Job/intermedia…
  2. @charlescoxhead As it's Adolfs wedding anniversary, he'll be wearing his nazi costume again. The royals are of German heritage anyways...
  3. Nice car, but same crappy car park I use. yfrog.com/h0fbxjxj
  4. @Spudooli Blame the user! Oh wait, that's you. ;-) So I'd rather wait with my upgrade...
  5. @paulninja there's no such thing as a too big TV!
  6. Oh dear Delicious! The originating IP address of the data migration was 127.0.0.1? Really? Who'd have thought!
  7. And #delicious is alive and kicking again!
  8. Great stuff, international traffic's always slow on #orcon in the evenings... No point in using Skype to Europe either...
  9. @Spudooli bit early for Halloween? ;-)
  10. @paulninja prices are hard to beat, I know! I had lots of dropped Skype sessions in Sat, if it stays that way I'll go back to Telecom...
  11. @paulninja which provider did you pick now?
  12. @paulninja uploads to the US/Europe are mostly painfully slower, at least in the evening. Dunno about filesharing and stuff...
  13. @paulninja I'm with orcon, non naked, but should be the same experience... Quite a bit slower and laggier than telecom...
  14. Stupid tubes are down, must be all those file sharers... Or it's callplus' fault.
  15. Me has hope the tubes could get faster without file sharing... #blackout NZ ISPs are useless at prioritizing traffic.
  16. @Spudooli lol, quantity trumps quality!
  17. @tim_ hehe, if they didn't see it coming, why did they get insurance then? ;-)
  18. I made the conscious and smart decision not to insure with AMI. And now? The govt just bails em out, want me to be dumb like everyone else.
  19. @Spudooli Don't be a hater!
