A: I totally get where sanz is coming from on the small minded commuter thing.. soo many people have said "omg isn't that a huge commute" to me when i tell them I'm living in Rangiora.. Negatives bitches.. In Welly I left home at 6:30am, got home 6:30pm, for standard day.. Rangoon I leave hom at 6:30 and I'm home by four, five if I take the bus.  And try a cross city dorkland commute.. fuck that for shits and giggles.

B: Keen for le hoebuckets at belgian bar

I watch the glowing snail that is goon traffic heading into the city from 630am on.  Sometimes i get caught in the tail end of it as i head back into town after 9.  Media reports say the new motorway is 4 yrs away from STARTING let alone being completed.

Drove up Victoria st today and was (un)surprised by the new glass/steel boxes going up, an omen of things to come. 

Congratz on your payout Growler, damm that must feel good.  An envelope from SR sits on our coffee table which is hopefully a $30k cheque for the driveway

EDIT:  Ahhhhhh amazeballs GoT S4 is back !!

Excepting that one in the middle with the massive wooden beams.
Although... still steel reinforced (wooden beams) and a dickload of glass on one side (to show of wood) and wood grain finished cement for other outer walls.

OK fuckit, you're so right.
At least they're only 3-4 levels high.

I was a MSN chat Admin and Mod.

and ICQ

the only other real social platform before that i used was Deviantart really or some big US chat site that was a web interface with audio chat a bit like Skype is now... but browser based with chat rooms and user to user chat.

I've not seen Vic street since I used it to exit Christchurch permenantly.
This is the building across from Spags? Or did they actually build a second building like that? :<
(one I'md talking about was around pre-quake, but wasn't 'rust styled' when I last saw it, just plain metal).

OK dick gaggers. Were any of you Aucklanders serious about having a drink.or 2 over the Easter break. I'm thinking about not coming due to previous plans falling through. It shouldn't take much persuasion due to a weekend spent away from this dank pisshole is a good weekend.

learning takes up to 30 days...

you may find you speed drops down to about 40-45mbs but your ping will drop..

in rangiora i pull 39-40mb down 400m from cabinet with 18-20mb up  with a ping to chch core of 5ms
