  • Hard News: Announcing: Public Address System!,

    Speaking of work, I suspect this will now make it even harder for me to get the paying stuff done.

  • What do you want them to play at your funeral?,

    Do you really have to open this site up to everyone? I mean, your friends seem quite reasonable and all that. Just wondering.

    Heh. Much as I'd love to run it as a social club, the idea is that it becomes so popular that I can work full-time on Public Address off the advertising income. But, I promise, the PA readers are a nice bunch. And we'll delete trolls.

    Very nice work, congrats from this tech to your techs.

    Thanks! I'll pass that on.

  • If the Straitjacket Fits ...,

    Call me a pedant, but I cannot see any necessary connexion between fireworks and entrepreneurial flair.

    You rationalists are so ... rational ...

  • The NZ Web's greatest hits (and misses),

    Anyway, wrenching things back to the topic, I dimly recall a local site in the 90s that made the most utterly egregious use of horizontal scrolling. Can anyone remember what it was?

  • Viewers' Choice,

    Outrageous Fortune. I love that show more every week. They take on all the stuff that NZ TV drama usually fails at, and pull it off ...

  • Depravity, anyone?,

    The Wire is a very large cut above most of the others noted in the parent post, which are basically crime-porn (but crime-porn that is doing very well for TV3). But I assume programmers look at it and assume "ooh ... a bit hard to get into if you've never seen it before ..."

  • The NZ Web's greatest hits (and misses),

    Anyway - my first internet memory is from "Back in the Day", when Xtra was first launched. I was one of the innocent children they herded like sacrificial lamb for their big launch demo.

    Heh. I remember going to their corporate launch, where I consumed a tankload of Telecom booze and later in the evening behaved in a manner merry yet so unwise that it must never be spoken of. Calculating whether I could land one on Alan Gibbs and leg it for the door was the least of it ...
