Well done to the team at SilverStripe for being part of the technology behind this year's Democratic National Convention.The DNC is using SilverStripe's open source content management system to power its website.
SilverStripe is based here in Wellington, New Zealand. The DNC used SilverStripe's software and services to create the website - which the company says may easily be the busiest website they have built to date.

Read MoreEven before the official exhibition opens at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco we can see the big them of mobility going around. Below are just a sample of the devices I could see when entering the main event centre hall.
All those devices are based on Intel Atom:
Lenovo Ideapad U8 (above), running Linux, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB SSD
Asus R50A (above), running Microsoft Windows Vista, 1 GB RAM, 32 GB SSD
Clarion MiND (above), running Linux, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB SSD
Aigo P8880 (above), running Linux, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB SSD

Read MoreI commented on a thread on Poneke's blog. Since a later comment than mine is already showing up, it is starting to make me wonder whether my contribution (my second on that thread) is going to show at all. So, it appears here...
The problem is that there are two issues here that are being mischieviously confused by Sue Bradford, purely to achieve a political objective.
The first issue is the gross child abuse, including murder, that happens all too often in NZ. That is child bashing, and we all condemn it.
The second issue is loving parental correction of children. This occurs in the context of families where parents want to bring up their children to know right and wrong, what's safe and what's not...
The big lie that NZ has been sold is that the Anti-Smacking Bill is aimed at addressing the first issue. That this is patently false is clear to the vast majority of voters. (It is evident from the unchanged infant murder statistics since the Bill was passed.)
The real objective of Sue Bradford's Bill is to undermine parental authority, and increase State power in the raising of children.
The problem therefore is not smacking of children. The problem is unwarranted State interference in the lives of law-abiding citizens.
Incidentally, if Parliament was serious about addressing the real issues, it would have voted for Chester Borrows amendment.
Read MoreHiya folks,
I'm going to be back from my OE in Canada in a coupla weeks and am on the job hunt! Ideally would like to get into some project management type stuff, with a long term goal to get into more strategic IT management. Will also consider sysadmin and software dev positions to get experience in the shorter term.
Have previous experience in IT and have just completed a Bch of IT (Hons) majoring in Info Systems at Victoria Uni in Wellington which included software dev (OOD, Java, VB.net, VBA, SQL, little C++/JS/HTML) and info managment/strategy incl project management.
Here is my CV
Give me an email, comment or PM if you have anything or know of anything on the go :D
Cheers!
Read MoreI wasn't planning on doing more work on Twitula this soon (there are other more interesting things to work on in .NET land these days), but with Tech Ed '08 coming up soon I thought it would be handy to be able to filter tweets by the #tenz hashtag while I was there, and then since I was adding hashtags it wasn't much work to include word search as well.
As always, you can get it here.
If you have any problems just use the contact form and let me know.
(Clarification: You'll need to be more specific than "it doesn't work"
. Just thought I'd mention that).
