    I know Chris Trotter isn’t too popular around these parts but he has a timeline of sorts

    It was October 23, presumably around the time Oravida was having shipments knocked back.

    Edit: It seems other companies ship Green Valley milk to China, so Oravida might not be connected. Seems worth asking though.

    Okay, this does seem material.

    Amy Adams co-authored a paper to Cabinet a paper recommending an extension for eCan’s commissioners.

    This is quite unusual, and he’s been able to slide away with his halo relatively intact, despite quite serious questions about his decisions not to refer potential Southland DHB fraud to the police. I’m surprised this has not gathered more attention. Perhaps if King had done a better job we’d have seen some movement.

    I always laugh a bit when people talk about the internet starting with Tim Berners-Lee. I’m an old geek and to me the Internet is the underlying infrastructure that’s been around since I was in primary school in the 60s. I

    Strictly speaking, you'd have to say the real internet infrastructure only arrived with with the TCP/IP cutover on January 1, 1983. Computers could barely converse in the 60s.
