It does make me laugh - despondently - when I hear people speaking about that beautiful Auckland.
I mean, it is. Really, it could very nice indeed, all the way up to Orewa or wherever.
Look around though. What do you see? A disjointed collection of suburbia without any real city centre. All erected with no care for the surroundings.The single noteworthy building is a monument to gambling of all things.
From that perspective (ha!), what difference would a stadium in the container docks make? In fact, the only thing that would make a real worthwhile difference would be a giant bulldozer.

Hmm... for a second I thought Russell was being horrid about my surname there. Interesting hi-res monitor induced delusion.

So... tell me: what is the "rugby" that you speak of?

Settle down everyone. The Herald has weighed in on the matter, as per [url [http://subs.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=1&ObjectID=10410465] Bernard Orsman's story here. ]
Looks like either the Eden Park interests or Christchurch are the winners then. When the Herald lays into big projects like that, they don't happen. Remember how the TelstraClear cable network got canned, even though the HF coax wasn't "thick as toilet paper rolls"?

Perhaps you've been put on a Republican robocall list, Simon?

I've run my own domain including mail server for the last six years. This isn't something that everyone will want to do (and it cost me boatloads on Jetstream) but I would definitely advise people to get their own domain and sort out mail hosting for it.
That way, if your ISP fails to provide the service you pay for, you can move the domain elsewhere.

Checked with Apple on this and was told the domain rego is renewed on a monthly basis - was set up like that by Conduit International Ltd. I asked why, when everyone does it on an annual or longer basis, but the person I spoke to didn't know...
Anyway, the domain's been renewed until December:
registrant_contact_name: Renaissance Ltd
registrant_contact_address1: Conduit International Ltd
registrant_contact_address2: Private Bag 92816
registrant_contact_city: Auckland
registrant_contact_province: Penrose
registrant_contact_country: NZ (NEW ZEALAND)
registrant_contact_phone: +64 9 9159100
registrant_contact_fax: +64 9 9159101
registrant_contact_email: DNSAdmin@thewebconduit.comHowever, the email addresses are going and it'll be renaissance.co.nz only. Focus on branding mumble mumble.
Never heard of Conduit before, but it appears to be closely related to Renaissance Corporation Ltd, which holds all the shares in it.

I just did a quick check in DNS, and the mail exchanger record for apple.co.nz still points to Renaissance's mail server.
The renaissance mail server also accepts messages to people in the apple.co.nz domain, but of course, I can't tell if they're being forwarded elsewhere after that.
Hmm, cool... now I can get some banging Nikos Xilouris anthems from Itunes Greece, like Kavgades me to giasemi. Really though, it's such megalo arhides that there's no store for NZ.
