I still love being in New Zealand, and more so recently since I’ve been able to get my teeth into networking a lot more! However enlightening, forward thinking and ahead of it’s time this place is, it still is laking in many areas…

There’s little telecom competition, which keeps choices limited for net access. As most options are simply white labelled from one of a couple of vendors/incumbants. Perhaps the most notable thing I have noticed in my geeky way since getting here, is the approach of worldwide developers particularly with games and their lack of vision towards NZ….for instance, there are a number of FREE MMORPGS doing the Beta rounds at the moment on the net, and so far I have downloaded three ALL of which don’t or won’t work from within the New Zealand internet cloud…

…I mean I know we’re an island group but still!!! Poor show!

So I have to make do with reverse engineering flash into video and building a fully authored DVD for the band instead….coz I can…

Geek to the end, that’s me!

In other news…? Hmmmm…..I’ll get back to you….

edit - corrected my obvious mistake…

  2. Lol your dead right actually, hey cut me some slack! I ain’t indiginous to NZ?! BUT technically there’s over 70 islands, and not a lot of locals know that! Though most are too small for habitation and are out in the open sea! The third biggest is just South of the South Island and is called - Stewart Island. It forms part of the Rakiura National Park.
