Hard News: An excellent evening in Newtown, in reply to recordari,
Hmm, seems this might be best place to say thanks for last night. Wonderful evening, great people and food, and stimulating conversation and coffee. One of which kept my mind racing well into the night.
It was great to meet you. And now that we have accepted the official advice to never turn off the machine, the coffee is coming out quite beautifully.

Extremely. There was even philosophy.
You get that when you invite philosophers to your parties.

I got the impression that that may not be what Russell wants. Since he would be forced to to take “performance pay”.
We don't have anything to do with "performance-based" advertising (ie: cost-per-click) any more, fortunately. But clickthrough rates are still regarded as a relevant metric.

Some of us have very good instincts about this kind of thing, and leave before chaos ensues.
There was no chaos. We simply became more articulate.

Can’t play it too loud though, head hurts ;-)
I seem to have no whisky left.

Hard News: About Arie, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
[sorry, that was probably illegal and conflicts with the fluffy soft-left ethos of this place].
Dude, I removed your other sentence too. Let's keep to the moral high ground.

In the end, justice has been done, blackened eye and all. Now let’s similarly identify the other Christchurch looters and mete out similar justice.
I'm actually a little surprised something like that gets published on the op-ed page of a national newspaper. David Kemeys, you are actually responsible for the content of your paper.

Hard News: The Thread, It Is Open, in reply to Julian Melville,
"New Zealand's only specialist whisky store"... top bit of researching, then.
New Zealand's best, for sure. They have arrangements for bottlings no one else can get and a hugely loyal customer base.
But this little place in Elliot Stables isn't even that far from the newsroom.
