Hello, here with Darren Wood. Hey so you’ve been checking out the sites, you’ve been checking up the teams, what are your impressions at this stage of the competition?
Well they all look calm, they all look collected, which is good. There’s a few hours to go yet so I wouldn’t expect them to freak out quite so soon. It’s interesting, we have been looking at the sites as they’ve been uploading. So far the ones with the most activity have been the Australian team, they have everything in Git and you can follow along at GitHub. It looks like they are also using WordPress. So there is two WordPress3 websites being used. What I can gather from looking at the Australian code is that they are using a child theme which is one of the new features of WordPress3 which I think will be pretty cool. Other than that, just looking at them, they seem pretty chill. One of the Americans required medical assistance; a bit of Gaviscon or something like that. The Kiwi food might be a bit strong for the uh (laughter).
I noticed the chef was wearing a gold watch before so I don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
I wouldn’t know.
And what’s your impression of the Code Blacks so far, have you seen their site yet?
Yeah they will be using SilverStripe, I think setting that up is probably more work than a WordPress site. So they are getting that under way, I just popped in there now, I saw a very strict grid, I saw some Vector graphics, not necessarily to be used on the site as vector graphics but we never know. And there was some interviews with the client happening so yeah they seem to be trucking along very swimmingly.
Great, thanks for your time!

How are they going to cope with the hoards of people bugging them?

Team New Zealand at 13-05-09-02:18

Looking at the status so far, it looks like Team NZ are uploading UI as they see fit. The UI is looking good so far, IMHO, and talking to the content writer, she seems to have loads of data coming in. Wonder if she is waiting for the dev guys to provide an input method for her. To be seen.

Team Australia as of 13-05-09-02:18

Team Australia at 13-05-09-02:18

Team AU’s site at first glance seems to be “yet another Wordpress site”. Looking thru’ it, the content seems to be there. The UI, is the designer still working on the version or have they decided?

More updates to follow.

It becomes even more important when you’re at your computer for 24 hours straight. As well as approving of those who are wearing comfortable clothing, Clint from Rainbow Youth and I have come up with the following stretch to keep the teams performing at their peak:

A couple of those every hour should see everyone right.
