My point is, over 4 years I've had 7 different internet domains to run this project from. (if you count my free websites, I've had 11 domains in 4 years)
Sure, now it's easy because I finally have my own domain name. But it would be easier if I used a URI pointing to my home email address or if I used my home phone number.
I would say the name of the widget is the most significant part, eg: kaos.neural.net.nz , samizdat.neural.net.nz or dyson.game.neural.net.nz
This is more logical because the widget is the important thing, not where I run it from.
If I had released my previous project publically, then I would have lpg.name@email.nz and it would not need to be named according to where I was then.
What if I had released my projects a few years ago when I was at CIT?
I have nz.ac.cit.ee.amcp.lpg.widget then when I drop out I have to transfer to nz.net.paradise.amcp.widget
then my corporate version becomes nz.co.netlogic.esee.widget which is stolen and I lose control of that.
Then you get 2 competing projects called com.e-see.widget and nz.ac.vuw.sci.math.amcp.lpg.widget for a few months then I drop out of uni when I'm sick and go back to paradise then, now I run it from my domain name nz.net.neural.lpg.widget
Wouldn't it be easier to use a URI for the widget name?
So if I develop Java widgets, I should preface them net.neural.widget?
Or do I give them nz.net.neural.widget?
And what about when I get projects from subdomains going? games.net.neural.widget? or net.neural.games.widget?
Wouldn't it be easier to just use the domain name in the order it works online?
And is it better to use directories than subdomains ?
I think the stoneworks were mainly foam scuptures.
I've got about 60 pics of some really cool hills which predate the dinosaurs.
Now all I need is the driver to read the 8cm CDs my old sony camera uses.
About 4 years ago, I made a DRM system for images that work by splitting up PNGs and scrambling the pieces to the target computer using RMI java.
It has a huge security flaw in the crypto which I deliberately left in case they took the project without me.
They then stole it, but the security flaw is still there, it's even running a major banking site.
The only reason it's secure is because I haven't told people exactly how to exploit the flaw.

Tell you what, I'll take wifey and breed with her there:)
>... the main problem has been the pipe out of NZ. I had XADSL about 300 metres from a city centre exchange and had an 8Mbit connection to the 'net (wow!). Trouble was, I could still only get about 30-35K per sec from anywhere outside of NZ because of latency and pipe-size problems.
So what? I get 128K on TelstraClear cable modem.

What rubbish, you don't need that fast for watching streaming movies.

I looked just a few days ago and that's still the situation, I don't know if this is because they're greedy (what, a telco, surely not...) or because they're trying to limit the Southern Cross usage by retail customers.
No, it's because Telecom suck. Get TelstraClear cable, you can get 10 gigs per month on 128k, to 1 gig per month on 1Mb down, 256k up.
Save yourself the cost of an international call, just ask me. I live in Wellington and I know Richard Naylor, I've worked with him before when I was narrowcasting video over the internet 9 to 6 years ago.
No, our currency is good enough to use for paying off our international loans.
We have the world's most internet connections per capita, the most domain names per capita (I'm getting one this week) and the most electronic transactions per capita.
Wellington has more internet usage than Silicon Valley, more cafes per capita than New York City and the best cultural festivals in the South Pacific.
A relatively high amount of gaming servers are in New Zealand, about 300 or more.
I live in Wellington, New Zealand.
We have better frag rates in New Zealand than to the USA, but we do play with the USA.
The pings only suck when some dumbass connects from Alaska or Hawaii to the server we're in.
The real population is about 350 000 during the working day.
Only some the central city apartments have CityLink, most of us use the internet cafes for online games.
I've used the PlayHutt internet cafe for hours of counterstrike and unreal tournament.

The pings are very good there and it's near all the fastfood places in manners mall.
One of the ads for Speights Beer is a guy who stays with his dad on his farm rather than go to Auckland for his girlfriend who has corporate sets at Eden Park, a 80 foot Yacht in the harbour and an SL mercedes.
I think he prefered the sheep.
Wellington used to have trams until the 60's then the trolley buses used those lines.
The funny thing is that only the CBD is connected to CityLink, they could rollout to the suburbs if they wanted to.
Not very, the Trolley bus cables only cover the main streets of the CBD and the suburbs.
He could expand out to the suburbs to wire up the shopping centres and suburban businesses.
But Wellington is better covered by the TelsraClear cable network.
A windy day in wellington is defined by the numbers of windsurfers in the harbour or around the Cook Strait.
I suppose I should learn to windsurf, I live at one of the most popular beaches in the harbour for windsurfing.
it took auckland 5 years to get the cable tv company up from wellington.
The cable doesn't have msnbc, fox or german channels.
Auckland does have a sewage system, John Banks. (The rich mayor who used to be an MP)
Yes, that scenery is real. I have been to some of the places they shot the films.
I live at the bottom of Mt. Victoria where they shot the Shire Forest scenes, that track is one of the Town Belt walkways.
There is a lot of mountain biking there, we held the world mountain bike contest there in 1998.
The majority of New Zealand dialup to the internet, Wellington has the greatest number of internet connections per capita in the world.
Wellington is better served by the TelstraClear network which is fiber optic to every street, then copper to the house.
I'm using TelstraClear's cable internet, TV & phoneline and I may pay my parents for internet next month.
Fortunately, New zealand doesn't have AOL.
We have XtraMSN from Telecom which is bad enough, let alone the constant promotion of TVNZ nzoom.com by the state TV1 & 2.
However, at least broadband is better here than in Australia.
CityLink runs on top of the trolley bus lines.
TelstraClear dug their network trenches.
Right of way is shared by companies in New Zeland, it causes less disruption.

Umm, no.
CityLink is the highspeed network, TelstraClear is the cable tv network & Telecom is the monopoly network.
There is a big pipe that goes into the Cook Strait and some of it pops up onto the southern beaches.
