Good. I think the challenge is a pathetic thing to do. Sure, give yourself a cold or something (or worse), or if you "pussy out" you have to pay money? What a sham, honestly. That's peer-pressure, and bullying in my books.

My apologies mate, I sort of went off on a tangent. My main point was really that advertisements are (as evolved from my Internet usage) that most are completely invisible to me.

Surely a quick glance at a website and the content will let you know immediately whether it's worth the time to read it? What you've said is interesting too -- isn't that what Ssvbtle tried to create? A network of honesty, jo

Thank you heaps for your comment! I'm not quite sure why I am being down-voted though. To clarify my browsing habits are at the point where if I do see an intrusive advertisement or something that is just words rather than a coherent b

I'm not sure that I like this. I know it's not really like Adblock or whatever it's called. I never notice advertisements, and I am surprised more people aren't the same. You've been doing the same thing for years

I just noticed it too: http://veb.co.nz/cloud/public.php?service=files&t=ce5fc7ac6a... Note: I'm in New Zealand, and I still can't access it. Sorry about the screenshot I still haven't figured out ho

Yeah, this is what I meant - thanks for clarifying for me.

I tried ownCloud out very recently and was astonished at the simple things you couldn't do. For example, via the 'sharing' function, you only can share to an image, wrapped in HTML, or via direct download. I just want to...

Technically (for those who don't know) they allow multiple currency transactions from one/single account. So you may have 1,000 NZD but it's made out of USD, PHP, AUD etc

Use... Notes?! You know, money... Coins?! Who uses coins? Secondly nobody is going to refuse 5 payments from 5 cards either or they don't get paid. Simple.

Couldn't you use something like Google Alerts, but don't tell your customers that, just show the results in a more prettified and "tailored" way to them. ;-)

Nice to see you around Bemmu! How is CandayJapan going? you still owe me a free shipment for endorsing you ;-) In seriousness though, this is excellent advice - have a taste of something that's just not local. I know a well known YC co

I don't know about this. I know I can have rather nasty nightmares, but I don't remember them when I wake up. That's a good thing. If I was lucid dreaming, bad things would probably still happen. Does anyone have any experien

The New Zealand Government makes a lot of their datasets accessible. You can also request data too: https://data.govt.nz

Yeah, me too. Made it impossible to _focus_ on the content. So I'd normally use Readability, but in this case: the content was in the comments already. For anyone interested: https://www.readability.com/articles/f4

Absolutely correct. Same with PayPal.

Why have a progress bar at all? I'd rather "Submit" and... things happen immediately. I do realise that there's probably some server-side things going on when you've submitted, but you could do that at the very last

Wait. Just having a glance at the website, and I see these animations - do they have anything to do with the code? It doesn't quite clearly state that and I'm kind of put off reading the code. :-/ Sorry if I've missed so

Yup. I know plenty of 80 year olds into ultra marathon running in high country NZ (extremely tough to run) and yet, I'm pretty sure they're not going to "beat death". No matter how fit and healthy they are. This article

Good advice. I find a lot of games (Steam-wise) do work natively. If your Macbook is powerful enough, running a windows vm works well too - or you can bootcamp. There's always the option to get a Thinkpad and run Linux. shrug Though

Actually, we do have free therapy. Anyone can go along to their free local talky place. A GP can refer you to a psychologist if you're so much inclined. Usually, a GP will strongly advice you to talk to someone whilst on medication, an

It's only free if you have a data plan, right? (or connected to WiFi). Historically in NZ, SMS has been basically free, unlimited but data has been 10mb, 100mb etc. We're now trying to catch up on the world with our data plans on

I'm aware this happened with Season Four of Arrested Development. There was a massive hype right up until it was to premiere on Netflix and then … nothing. People watched it, then moved on. I personally love to be able to binge a new
