ElePHPant Haven

So Facebook's app thingy failed. What a surprise.

So I'm moving the quiz.

Current results:

1. yomcat
2. Mother and Andrew Barnes
3. Andrew Walbran
4. Sarah Bennett
5. Matthew Bayliss and Esther Welsh

Um, either answer in a comment or email me or something.

Photo's will be up here soon - http://www.flickr.com/photo...

They really should stop failing in that way. @vodafoneNZ hasn't failed like that and has been tweeting for lots longer :)

Sarah got us doing the jung test again.

Introverted (I) 80% Extroverted (E) 20%
Sensing (S) 52.5% Intuitive (N) 47.5%
Thinking (T) 75.86% Feeling (F) 24.14%
Perceiving (P) 87.1% Judging (J) 12.9%

So ISTP, just. Supposedly the second best type. So close to awesomeness! GAH!

Giving people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.

So where's the RSS feed? How is my world supposed to be more open if I have to visit your stupid site just to see what's happening? Nothing else I use does that. Why should you be an exception?

There's currently an ePetition being run over on the council site about making Wellington a Fair Trade City.

Copy and pasted for greater justice:

The five steps to becoming a fair trade city are: 

1.Wellington City Council passes a resolution.
2. Fair Trade products are relatively available in retail and catering outlets. 
3. Local workplaces and community groups support Fair Trade and use the products. 
4. Raise awareness of Fair Trade
5. A Fair Trade steering group formed

Linky for signage: linkage!

On a side note, does anyone know where I can get some decent fair trade chocolate? I know Sarah was selling some awhile ago (water tank fund-raising?), but I don't think she's still selling them.

Someone who has been collecting Apple memorabilia for the last 25 years is being forced to sell them to raise moneys. So go buy them and stuff.

Sarah posted these in #aioc (originally from QC (if you want to know, Google it))

Yay for whiteboards!

I just got told that I've made the NZOI team that will be travelling to the IOI in August.

This year's IOI is being held in Bulgaria. More information can be found at http://ioi2009.org/

I should put in a disclaimer, or an explanation, but can't be bothered.
