New Zealand developments
17 August 2007 | admin | Comments Off
The NZ team are forging through with their clients. As Thomas is nutting out the details of functionality they can build in for their users, the rest of the team is beavering away.
The atmosphere in this room is still calm and under control. The NZ team are yet to break a sweat, and if you walked into …
Post-lunch lag
17 August 2007 | admin | Comments Off
We’ve just returned from a yummo buffet lunch and the teams are straight back into business. Rumours that were buzzing around before lunch are now confirmed true. In a startling turn of events the NZ team are indeed guilty of kicking the camera/paparazzi crew out of their room! Sorry kids, but we’re just doing our jobs. Why are we soooo …
Re: The Aussie BBQ

Here are the fruits: the Australian team are indeed enjoying themselves. The atmosphere is light. Music and chatter fills the space. The chocolates are out and Dave has now worked out his all-important twitter relationship with fullcodepress, making time to spy on the other team and get the latest updates online. Not to say that the Aussies are frivolous in …
Aussie team Drupal Drama!!
17 August 2007 | admin | Comments Off
We hear talk of the Aussie team hanging out on the Drupal messageboards. Can it be they’re freely giving of their time to mentor others in the mysteries of Drupal? Altruistically passing on their knowledge even in the midst of the competition? Or, and this surely seems more likely, frantically trying to find out how to do things before it’s …
Romeo and Juliet

It shouldn’t have happened. His eyes caught hers across the room, and there were fireworks (sponsored by Adobe), or so I’ve heard. His black shirt enhanced his silhouette, and her golden hair glistened under the artificial light. It is alleged there is a budding romance between the NZ team and the Australian’s, well at least that’s the rumour I’m propagating.
What …
Spying

OK, super quick update, the Australian’s seem to be representing an Aussie bbq. Men on one side of the room and women on the other.
Kiwi’s are still in discussion, no segregation.

Usability and design
17 August 2007 | admin | Comments Off
The kiwi’s appear to be powering ahead in the design discussions. As their charity focusses on bringing users with disability closer together, it’s really a question of how well do you know you your usability guidelines? I’ve seen the guidelines cracked open a few times already and by the end of this exercise I might end up knowing them off …
Dressed to KILL, grrrr

First impressions last. Or so they say. Judging by the ‘code blacks’ attire I’d say they are all in for psychological intimidation, a visually united front. Good for them yunno.

It’s team NZ full steam ahead
17 August 2007 | admin | Comments Off
News just in: team NZ have finished their initial briefing with The Grampians Advocacy Centre. The Australians are lagging behind, or still gathering vital information from The Ripple Effect. Maybe it’s part of their plan to not rush this process. Afterall, the more they know about their client’s needs, the better the website will serve them. But, can they afford …
