“New Zealand’s ascent to second place in the official ODI table caps a
remarkable improvement since the start of the year during which it has
climbed from eighth position following a combination of strong performances
at home and its recent NatWest Series victory in England.”

I dont think it can, ah well, at least the rest of the day looks like its
going to be sunny. Which is good because my fingers are freezing.
Well ive moved stuff all about and ended up with a lot more room on my desk,
and the monitor at a better angle. Lets hope that translates into more
productivity.
BZZZT wrong, he isn’t a public servant.
The Maori Language Commission was established under the Maori Language Act
1987, to promote the use of Te Reo, and as a start of the Crown trying to
live up to its treaty promises. And now the interesting bit.
No member of the Commission or employee “shall be deemed to be employed in the service of Her Majesty for
the purposes of the State Sector Act 1988” (Schedule 2, s. 8.).
That is, he isnt a public servant, in fact its agaisnt the law to deem him
as one.
Nice one Helen, how about you or one of advisors read the legislation your
party put in place.
Yay, Laurels new computer should be arriving here tomorrow. No more insanely
loud fan noise and clunky slow computer.
I did some work a while back to integrate Kea and Koha for the LGNZ site. This allows them to use the Kea
Content Management system to add documents (be they html, pdf whatever) to
their website and Koha to catalogue them.
Ive since got this working for the Katipo Koha now as well. It seems to
work pretty well, so my plan now is to document what I did so that it can be
done with other CMS systems as well if people want.
I guess he’s going from the dictionary definition. Which is fine, as long as
he isn’t trying to imply that they still aren’t bound by the Treaty.
Personally when I think indigenous I think of the UN definition
“Indigenous communities, peoples and nations are those which, having a
historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that
developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other
sectors of the societies now prevailing in those territories, or parts of
them.”
Which is what Maori are and will always be, and pakeha will never be in NZ.
As always a hugely enjoyable read, and a great way to spend the trans tasman
flight. It certainly beats the shite that they were pretending was a movie,
or eating the shite they were trying to convince us was food. I remember
back in the day, Air New Zealand used to win awards for its food and wine
service, now its worse than the food they used to serve in the hostel
kitchens of uni in the last term when they had blown the budget.
Anyway this isnt supposed to be a rant about crap airline food, but rather
to say that this a book thats well worth reading.
Im having a real struggle at the moment to get motivated to do anything. I
think its the crap weather, I really dont want to do anything except go to
bed with a good book. Hopefully i’ll snap out of it in the next few days.
Well, the screen server crashed, and now my network connection has decided
to go mental.
And as I right this, it decides to make a liar out of me and come right.
Still when it wasnt working it wasnt pretty, look at that average time
