Congratulations and thank you to you and the other contributors for arresting my middle aged slide towards a procrastinating, conservative state of mind.

every time i see the 'Bride of..' vid I can't but help think that Gorrillaz must have caught sight of some of that imagery to inform their look.

The Virgin Magnetic Material remix of Burning Down the House is a goodie too.

OnPoint: MSD's Leaky Servers, in reply to Deborah,
I think a video of the File Open process and of the the looking at other computers would provide a significant "aha" moment for many users who, while not recognising the terms being used will immediately see the familiarity and simplicity of the actions they themselves will have used many times.

the Sandown Hotel, Gisborne
ahhh the old "Sandpit" an early '70's corporate brewery concrete behemoth booze barn in the suburbs. Was wrong on so many levels, not least that it was where grab a DPB "granny" was played during week nights by travelling sales reps and in the weekends became the kindergarten bar for the under-agers hiding away from the CBD bars.

Hard News: And so it begins, in reply to Hilary Stace,
re Education Counts - is the same platform that Primary School National Standards data will come to in future ?

email from ERO saying that schools decile rankings will no longer appear on ERO reviews.
It is also on ERO website. I'd suggest that the Ministry has requested this as a start of the process of reducing the public's ability to match decile rating with upcoming league table data and the likely strong correlation that a lower decile rating will have with lower levels 'standards' attainment.
Given that there will likely be 18-24 months of ERO reviews completed with no decile info in them before Govt produced NS data is publicly produced, such a disconnect plays nicely into the future goals re NS, relegating the socioeconomic impact debate on children education outcomes, provide a basis for changes in school funding models and a bigger stick to continue to break over the teachers unions in terms getting performance pay in place.
