Renaissance 2009 results poor

Renaissance has reported its Preliminary full year result to 31 December 2009 (available here), which indicate a preliminary unaudited loss before tax of $2.721m for the 2009 year.

It appears that a minor increase in sales...

Why Phil got my post wrong

Phil's post in reply to mine was incredibly funny (http://www.nzmac.com/community-blog/why-darryn-got-the-tech-pundits-wrong.html). In it he accuses me of not reading what the pundits wrote (which I did) and then goes into a tirade that proves he never really read my post but skimmed through it and ...

The all singing, all dancing, h-ypocritical Phil

It seems that Darryn took exception to my last blog post, which was a response to his earlier blog entry. Unfortunately, he decided to respond on his website (you can read it here) and unfortunately, he obviously took my comments personally, despite me trying to make sure I didn't criticise him dire ...

Classic Sleeve – MacBook Air

Written by DenisStanton
Sunday, 21 February 2010 14:54
I wanted to like the Proporta Classic Sleeve for MacBook Air. I carry a MacBook Air to and from work everyday in a tidy backpack but I know there are people that don't have the luxury of relaxed dress code. A casual backpack is probably not the right image for people who wear smart suits to the office. Proporta have come up with a smart-looking almost-leather sleeve for people who want to protect their MacBook Air from scratches but don't want the bulk or casual look of a backpack.

Eve Online

What do you get when you cross World Of Warcraft with spaceships? Well as luck would have it Eve Online is the answer.

I have to admit that when it comes to MMPORG games I'm A): a novice B): not really interested. It all boils down to the fact that most MMPORGs are based around warriors and elves and wizards and personally that gets real old real quick for me. I had seen the ads for Eve Online for some time and even created an account only to find out their Mac support was bollocks and non-existent despite the ads saying they do. Well finally they released the Mac version and I've got to say it is pretty sweet.
