Auckland hosts WordCamp, and aint it great!
August 7th, 2010 by Sarah KingWhen you’re a WAHM freelancer the first thing you notice is the lack of techies to talk with so it’s great to be able to break out and attend events like Auckland’s WordCamp.
I only made it to the afternoon session but the techie sessions were worth going to:
- An intro to HTML5 and CSS3 and why we should care

Great to catch up with Michael Brandon too, find out what he’s been up to and chat SEO.
I’m all set to have a play with the e-commerce plugin so I can quiz Jeffry Ghazally at his session tomorrow.

Vorb have the full story on the proposed Sanders Reserve and full credit to them for spreading the word.
Woodhill Train Station
February 16th, 2006 by Sarah KingWell, it would make a lot of sense wouldn’t it?
I’m surprised Maxx & co haven’t smelt the CRC and decided to cash in on their existing, but seemingly idle infrastructure.
3 trains a day on Saturday and Sunday
I’d run 3 trains each weekend day up to Helensville, one early in the morning, one arriving in Helensville in time for lunch and another later in the afternoon. Read the rest of this entry »
World Wind Hotspots
July 1st, 2005 by Sarah KingI have no idea what this site is but it helped me find the latitude and longitude of Auckland so I could get listed at geourl.org…
Google Maps
April 10th, 2005 by Sarah KingWhat a time waster Google Maps is! Amazing photos though. Auckland and the Coromandel look quite different:
