Yeah, I've tried, but sites look dodgy, don't work etc.

I just want a Nexus 4 without paying NZ prices :<

You just want to buy something? Would a VPN work fine?

I used it to try and buy my Nexus 4.

I say try, because I could, but I messed up and had different addresses all across my Google Wallet. You have to use the same US shipping address for shipping info, billing info and your personal address otherwise Google cancels the order thinking it's fraud.

Also, Google should be releasing a 32GB model this month sometime.

I can set you up a temporary account on my nix VPS (in LA).

If you know how to use SOCKS tunnels, then you have a secure proxy via USA.

PM a username and a password if you want an account, and I'll give you the deets.

Been doing a lot of work for a client recently.

Client wants to meet and have coffee and give me a tour of their workplace.

Client doesn't have their own design team.

Interdasting.

Be careful - if you become their design team and they have never had an inhouse team before - they might not have a clue how to use a design team. Have you had experiance implementing a team before and coming up with internal policies etc?

It can be a pain in the arse

Thanks DL but I'm capable of assessing the situation.

I've been working with them for the past 3 months so I know how they operate. I've been project managing all their requests they've had done with my workplace.

It's just rampant speculation from me at this stage.

No slight intended on your skills/abilities - more that there is a world of difference between handling a project for a customer as an external party and handling a project internally - especially if they don't have internal procedures/polices/processes in place

Boss wants me to house-sit her place next Friday. She lives out in the middle of nowhere and has said I can use her car for the weekend.
