Your tweets cost money
Read David MacGregor’s novel: Vanishing Act for free… – davidmacgregor’s posterous, originally uploaded by LanceWiggs. A snapshot of Dave MacGregor’s blog entry giving away free copies of his book shows interesting implications. Almost everyone choses not to tweet the post and get a book.
Back to Vodafone, sorry Telecom
Another Telecom store experience just now, this time on Queen street. The good news is that they have a SIM cutter that will quickly turn a standard SIM card into a micro-SIM. The bad news is they were reluctant to pull it out of the drawer, and were certainly not taking responsibility for doing the …
Is it here or not?
Apple – iPad – The best way to experience the web, email & photos, originally uploaded by LanceWiggs. Apple’s NZ store is showing the iPad as available – but there is no mechanism to buy. I guess that means it is not available. All, I’m sure, will be sorted by the time you read this.
Well done Telecom, you made it easy
Telecom’s store also has the mock phones. But they have a nice low use prepay data plan, a friendly guy giving tips on how to cut a mini sim and no form in sight. Nik gave his name and address, and that was that. Indeed they even offered to cut the SIM card for Nik …

InternetNZ: 5 questions
Dave Farrar asked each of the 12 candidates for the 5 InternetNZ councilor spots to answer some questions. I’m one of the candidates, and as they were good questions I’m posting the answers here. What do you consider the (up to) three biggest threats to InternetNZ’s vision of an open and uncaptureable Internet? Insufficient infrastructure …
Reducing roaming costs
Column number five for Fairfax is now posted online at Stuff. The columns are printed in the Businessday section of the Waikato Times, Dominion Post and Christchurch Press. Fine papers all. We are working to get them all online in a Stuff blog. It’s hard, really hard to reduce roaming costs as they are based …
Won’t these scams please go away?
Another scam today, this time from SMSbargain.net. I have no idea how I got there but somehow this page opened up in my browser (despite pop-ups being blocked). I’m pretty sure I was not on a New Zealand based site, but the ad is targeted towards NZ: <update – I found this ad later on …
Well we know where we are going
Well we know where we are going But we can’t see which gate it is. I cannot read the destination on the departure gates in Auckland domestic airport until I am quite close to the gate. This is frustrating. So why not increase the size of the type for the destination on the gate screens …
No customers thanks
Seen inside the BNZ on lower Queen St, Auckland.
