  • If the Straitjacket Fits ...,

    andrew.... sweet jesus that made me laugh...

    we used pvc pipes as rocket launchers and had neighbourhood wars. when he got cars they automatically became 'tanks'. scaring the piss out of the elderly by yelling 'nazis!' and firing at them was the order of the day.

    and, if you've noticed an emphasis on 'safety', it might be the current emphasis on injury prevention and public safety. apparently someone put a price on how much injury costs 'the nation', and now there's a number of schemes to cut down the amount of darwinism.

    i'm happy to forward information, in my boring capacity as a public servant, that is.

    yeah... if a person had worked in a government department and seen how they get it together to put stuff on the web, you'd not think them so avant garde.

    a popular quote by a person who had been in one of the conversations to get very simple things online may well have been, "the blimmin banks are doing it, why can't we?!"

    which goes to show, the greatest advance in internet technology may well have been ATMs (with their marvellous simplicity), and online banking.

    if you can remember brown paper pay-packets, you'll find it hard to disagree with me.

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

    i can't agree actually, i think that newsroom was a great site till it went behind the paywall.

    and as far as i know it's still the place to get up to the minute news on politics. sorry Kevin...

    otherwise? Stuff.co.nz. simple, easy to navigate, but with an annoying habit of not publishing the most fun stories in the DomPost.
