More free money from Raboplus
Friday, November 23, 2007
It’s that time of the year when Raboplus gives away anywhere from $25 to $1,000 for every new customer — if you’ve received a referral from an existing account holder. Like me. So be nice and
ask me for a referral. Be quick, I only have about ten of these left.
Happy (upcoming) holidays, everyone!

Did a bit of tweaking on Brian Gardner’s Blue Zinfandel theme for implementation on the Hot Topic blog — companion site to the book which goes on sale in August.

Pinball Number Count clock
Friday, June 29, 2007
My love for the Pinball Number Count music video comes to life with this gem of an Instructable.I have successfully modded a clock before (pulling out all the hands and putting them back together again kind of mod). What I did was cut up pop flavours of the month from my Smash Hits and Top of the Pops and made a collage for the face, not unlike Dean Proudfoot’s illustration in the ‘Tribal counsel’ feature (Idealog #10). Unfortunately, it died after about five years post-mod from the face warping and screwing up the hand mechanism due to the record humidity levels in my room.
So this shouldn’t be too hard if I get a powertool and some plywood for Christmas. Otherwise, I’ll just make the Persistence of Time one.

Approval in Principle
Monday, June 11, 2007
I received a letter from the officer handling my residency paperwork confirming that my application has been approved in principle. I just dropped in my passport and migrant levy ($300) — which I hope will be the last payment I’ll ever make to NZIS — and I should receive new stickers in my passport with my new PR status. Yay!
Here’s a timeline of my road to residency:
EOI lodged: 6 October 2006
EOI selected: 11 October 2006
Invitation to Apply (ITA): 13 November 2006
Application lodged: 30 January 2007
Application received: 5 February 2007
Application approved in principle: 8 June 2007

I’ve been off work for a few days now, down with a mystery viral throat infection (lab test results are still not back yet .. where are my drugs?!).
