  • anth,

    I thought that moving to 50 posts/page was a big improvement. If there is going to be a compromise then surely the number should be 42.

    Some compromise!

    42 posts per page:
    Difference from 50 ppp: 16%
    Difference from 20 ppp: 210%

    :)

  • Sacha,

    I like 50 posts too. Less trouble scrolling up a page than trying to remember which one to click on a few pages earlier.

  • giovanni tiso,

    Could you also ask the mechanic to put in a favicon for PA? The bookmark looks so bland without one.

    Seconded. Useful for those of us who use bookmarks bars as opposed to menus, too.

  • Sacha,

    Rod Oram's discussion of NZ's portrayal on the world stage mentions the main promo video in the top banner of the newzealand.com tourism site (click the overlaid "play" button).

    Good angle, beautifully executed. Mainly the great outdoors but integrates the nightlife smoothly if briefly - and fitting use of music by those Fielding boys.

    The song is actually Alphaville's 'Forever Young', from 1984 -- and re-recorded as a hit more recently by Youth Group from Australia, and Jay-Z. Alphaville were German.

    The version in the promo is sung -- beautifully, I think -- by Milan Borich of Pluto, with Aroha Harawira.

    You can download the MP3 here

    When are people going to learn. GET OFF THE SAND DUNES!!!!

    I reckon they could have made it a little longer. Looks nice though. We are spoilt.

  • Just thinking,

    Hides a classey dude isn't he.

    Friday they bury Ben Smarts Dad and on the Sunday Hides campaigning to reopen or what ever he is say about Scott Watsons conviction.

    I'm not infavour of prisons, except where those inside them pose a risk to society. Prisons are made for the Scott Watsons of this world.
