Politics: this time we all lose
1 October 2026My apologies, we're going political in today's column.
New Zealand has a general election in a few weeks and all the parties are out promising the earth to those voters who'll trust them with the management of the nation for the next three years.
Being someone who isn't particularly politically aligned, I've been weighing up all the options and have come to a disappointing conclusion.
None of them have a clue what they're doing or would do if elected.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
Recoverable Proxy
Would this system help improve the nation's democracy and introduce some much-needed accountability within parliament? Spread the word!
