I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
Light on posts this week but its been fun.
Monday was the Annual NZSA Wellington Dinner. Good crowd. Around 10 companies did pitches and I did a bit of a spiel. Good to see the Auckland people who made it down.
I really suggest that Wellington tech company owners make an effort and get to the Auckland events. Great networking.
Tuesday night Hamish Edwards and I did a workshop to the Unlimited Potential Group at NZTE. We had 20 companies along and it was very stimulating. The event was over subscribed and we’ll do another one in next February. Thanks to Patrick and Michelle for organizing it.
I’m having difficulty spending time with individual companies these days as my workload accelerates so the best way to spend time with me is to come to these events. I’m getting numerous requests daily to look at companies and I just can’t make time right now as we gas up the projects I’m working on.
Last night we had the TIN dinner at Mantells in Auckland. Great crowd. Rob Martyn, now GM of Weta spoke and gave us an insight to the movie industry goings on in my home suburb.
(Forgot to mention that Gareth Davies the Lions captain was there. Very cool guy. He’s working for International Business Wales - who are tasked with attracting inwards investment.)
I’m finding it frustrating traveling without 3G. The Vodem patch for Intel Mac’s is still not available.
Back home late tonight. Lots to catch up on.

Hey Rod, If that vodem patch doesnt come soon I can show you how to dial out to the net via your 3g phone and bluetooth. Koz and I use our macbooks via 3g and it’s really fast. Means you don’t need a seperate plan for the vodem device either.
