It includes some well researched evidence that the developers appeared to have no intention of retaining aviation usage of the grounds, using it as a means only to quell the uprising and wait for the heat to die off.
Almost immediately following the Crown's signing of the land transfer documents on June 12, 1998, Ngai Tahu announced that "the 200ha of the base between the hangers and Wigram Road is likely to be subdivided to create a new suburb catering for up to 2000 households with schools, churches and shopping facilities". No mention of, nor room for, an airfield, and no mention of open green space. This is now Ngai Tahu's declared goal. Is this reversal of position then, the hidden agenda so vehemently denied by Ngai Tahu chief executive Sid Ashton?

A WEEK OF IT Read More
The blog title is slightly wrong, but I'll get to that in a sec.
After a week waiting for my iPod touch to be repaired - it finally got back.
When I looked at the description of the repair from the report:
On 11/8/2008 From 3:00 To 3:30 At the None Rate, for a total of $0.00 Worked On by ipod.
Confirmed fault found.
Ipod not working.
Replace under warranty.
So a brand new iPod touch now lands at my place - 1.1.4 preinstalled (2.0 Software Update will not be provided on new iPod touches, so for people buying new ones now, you are going to be on the same level as everybody else)
Good thing as I hadn't had a case for it for 3 months and the back was heavily scratched during that period (damn the soft chrome backing)
I do notice that the screen is now significantly brighter - really really bright - to the point I thought that the picture would wash out.
But it has been really worth the wait - now that I got a factory fresh, OEM-like packaged iPod touch (gotta love the packaging)
Here are some photos of the unpacking:
Pretty neat packing there by Renaissance.
Even comes with a factory barcode!
Mmm... fresh packaging smell.
Right now, I'm upgrading my iPod to 2.0.1 and probably restore my old backup, and get things back to normal again (no iPod = no wireless life - why did my laptop have to fail?)

I have noted earlier in this blog that Mythtv does not work with FreeviewHD due to lack of audio support. Well thanks to work of Paul Kendall (see his site here) and others it is now possible to use Mythtv as a HTPC delivering FreeviewHD. There are a couple of caveats to that of course; a powerfull CPU is required as there is no hardware H.264 accelration, and you have to be prepared to do a little bit of extra work in setting the machine up (not much different with fiddling with codecs with MP or GBPVR though).
So to test it all out with my machine I downloaded the latest version of Mythbuntu (8.04.1) and installed it onto my external hard drive. There are then a few step I had to go through before I could run myth-backend setup:
1) After restarting from the CD to the hard drive, I added the following line to the bottom of /etc/sources.list (open terminal, type 'sudo nano /etc/sources.list'):
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/paul-kcbbs/ubuntu hardy main
Then run:
'sudo apt-get update'
'sudo apt-get upgrade'
That will require confirmation and run for a while, after which the machine will be up-to-date with Paul's patches installed.
2) I have a Nova T 500, and according to it's wiki page it requires a cold reboot to be detected. Before this is done though, add the folowing to /etc/modprobe.d/options:
#enable LNA
options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1
#disable 2nd tuner suspend
options usbcore autosuspend=-1
Now you are ready to run mythbackend setup and configure the tuners, sources etc. Also a guide will need to be setup somehow, I havn't got around to that yet.
With the configuration basically as above, I scanned in the digital channels to test out performance. With my 2.4GHz single core I could watch just TV1 and TV2, it would start skipping on fast moving scenes. TV3 was a no go.
From here, I plan on swap the CPU and graphics card out and put in my 5200+ X2. With a little bit more tweaking to get dual core being helpful (thanks to the mythtvnz list) hopefully I can get all the channels working. If I can do that, and get a guide loaded for all channels on my test setup I will do a reinstal and move everything over to Mythbuntu :)
Uni holidays are next week so this will be on the backburner with a very busy last week, will post again when I test things further.
