Well I should get a good nights sleep tonight because Air NZ, bless their souls, have decided to let me sit in 2K on my AKL-SFO leg...So I can only conclude that Rod and I are not really getting 'First Class' but rather sitting as Business passengers in first class seats.

Still... I'm not complaining.... closest thing I'll get to the Lie Flat Businessman for a good wee while yet

Chris Sinclair and myself and a few others have put together a paddling porno night next week.....

But of curse I'm gonna not be here and be in Redmond. But it's still gonna rock so if you are in Dunedin get on down....

Before you ask... I didn't do the poster too........

OK... so Outlook mobile truely does run my entire life for me....

You see if something needs to be done, unless it is in there it will not get done....

eg.g From today.

Wifey, who is working in Wellington as an advisor to the minister of ACC, sent me a meeting request titled “Shut cat flap so cat can't get out”... I can just accept it and now I'll have no worries getting the kitty to the kitty summer resort tommorow.

Marvelous!

Ever developed in Cold Fusion.......????

OK..... the flair post from last night was really harping back to some stuff that Rory was going on about earlier in the year.

I posted the new flair (logo) to the left last night to see if anyone noticed... which they didn't... but now I can announce good and proper.

Someone, well Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom (or generosity) has decided to let me wear a Regional Director hat for a period. Which is all really rather cool.

It's quite an intimidating group to be associated with though Lots of names of people whose books I've read and looked up to when I was a little whipper snapper developer......

Anyway... it's all rather exciting. Will hopefuly give me more opportunities to work with the community and evangelise technology as I an want to do.

I got some new flair...... more on it tommorow

Still eating well. Onto home made lunches again this week.

Decent activity levels last week.

Gyming and Exerbiking.

Jogged/Walked up Flagstaff and mt Cargill on Sat and Sun respectivly. Rolled my ankle on way back down Mt Cargill. Quiet day today- at GYM with Personal traineer this arvo.

Weigh in tommorow. Not losing weight particularly fast by defn. toning up.

Rod has some stuff on NZ's First Class experience.

I'm inclined to agree that it's not super but I reckon the seats are actually that bad... Much better than NZ business.

The NZ inflight entertainment experience is LAME LAME LAME. When I fly to Seattle this week it will be the Fourth time I have seen the same bloody movies in NZ in the past few months.

Roll on the new business class... it looks IMHO to be about the best business offering around (bar maybe Lufthansa but only cos I want in flight internet.... which they have even in coach).

FWIW. Like Rod we have a back of the plane company policy..... but the odd upgrade is nice

Rod also comments on the lounge experiences...

IMHO the Air NZ lounges (Intl ones excepted) are pretty bloody good. Every other Star Alliance lounge I've been in recently has been pretty ass.... I mean in Singapore they even give you tyhe second class treatment by bouncing Gold Star Alliance to the 'Premiere Lounge'... Premiere my ass. I reckon Air NZs lounges and Koru Club in general spank the pants of most others...

Weighed in this morning. 108.2 Lost 0 kgs... oh well... patience I reckon.

No exercise last night. But 25 mins cardio and a weights circuit with Dave this morning.

Proteing shake for Bfast. BLAT for lunch.

Flying this evening... Must be strong and NOT much out on cheese and bikkies @ the Koru Club!

”Around 95% of those eligible for this stage of working for families got their entitlement automatically as they are on a benefit. So the $15 million advertising campaign is to reach only 14,000 families - this is a cost of over $1,000 per target audience member - probably the most expensive advertising splurge in history. “
