Wow – what a busy couple of weeks… My brother and his partner. Jerome, were over from Amsterdam for a holiday and we spent most of the time down in Kaiteriteri in the Nelson region.

We also bought a house last week. It all happened very suddenly and also came as a bit of a surprise as we put in a successful tender on a house in Strathmore, which we thought was a long-shot.

So now we have less than three weeks before we move and we’ve also got my Mum visiting from London for three weeks on…

Link: Google Apps Team Edition – initial thoughts

Google have released another edition of their online apps suite called Team Edition. This differs from the other versions in that it doesn’t have an email component and thus doesn’t require configuring DNS records to get started.

What this means is that small teams in large organisations can sign up to Google Apps using their work email addresses and collaborate on online documents without having to get their IT department involved. Google provides security by only allowing members with…

Link: My phone is better than yours

That’s right – unless you too are the proud owner of a Nokia N95, then I can absolutely say that my phone is better than yours. I bought the N95 last week and it’s by far the best phone I’ve ever owned. Check out some of the features:

• 5MP camera (with Carl Zeiss optics)
• VGA video camera @ 30fps
• GPS
• 3G and 3.5G (HSDPA)
• Wi-Fi

And there’s hundreds of apps available too. My favourite so far is the Sports Tracker app which links in with the GPS to track distances, speeds, and routes of your…
