A Mac called Kate
So Kate the Mac has come to live at our house. I like the Mac packaging and make a special point of getting a photo taken with it. That’s how much it impresses me.
Later, I begrudgingly acknowledge that I also quite like the Mac.
But wait, what’s this? Larry the IBM (who looks rather unimpressed with Kate the Mac) can always connect to the wireless router. While Kate looks cool, she’ll have to endure having a poxie Dick Smith Electronics USB wireless adapter sticking out of her as OSX can’t reliably connect to the router like every other wireless enabled device in the house (that’s a Linux laptop, and two mobile phones, and various other random laptops that turn up wanting to bludge our bandwidth).

Lotus Notes 8 released
Not that I’ve used it for several years now, but I’m still interested in Notes/Domino. The Vowe bloggers have a few posts about the new version.

Full Code Press over – Kiwi team wins
The Kiwi’s have won what looks to have been a close battle. The two charity organisations are stoked, and it sounds like everyone’s knackered. Yay for FullCodePress!

Full Code Press is nearly finished
Just an hour to go in the inaugural Full Code Press. Both teams have their sites up and running and there isn’t much in it, although I think the Kiwi site looks better at the moment, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Aussies are holding something back. Screenshots from 9:30am NZ time are here.
Also of interest to me is to see what can be achieved in approximately 170 person hours. Without being able to see the admin interfaces, I’d say that what has been done is consistent with my expectations. As the circumstances are very unusual, what’s been achieved on both sites is really, really impressive.
