As I said earlier, we moved into a basement flat in Remeura. It's NZD$250/week for the place including water. I haven't uploaded pictures or anything because, until 3 days ago, we had no internet. I was leeching off of one of our neighbors. Unfortunately, NZ ISPs charge per gigabyte of usage, so I didn't want to leech too much.
We have our own now, but it is abonimable. I'm getting about 300kbps (compared to your typical cable internet of around 6000kbps). My torrents are taking days and weeks to download. I know it's possible to get decent speeds here, my generous neighbor is getting about 3000kbps, so I got in touch with the ISP (tech support here is only available during business hours!) and they are "sending someone out sometime."I'll upload pics when I'm feeling less lazy.
The Brain Mouse.
I'm really excited about a new gadget I discovered today - the OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator. Yes, it's as cool as it sounds. It's a brain computer interface device that us
This thing is pretty much my dream come true, one step closer to plugging my brain into a computer, Matrix-style. I'm getting one asap. Unfortunately, it's not available in NZ for some reason, so I'm going to have to smuggle it in.
Here are some links (in order of interestingness):

Another, similar device is coming to market around Christmas called the Emotiv Epoc.
Finally, here is a link to the full gallery of images from my previous trip to Rotorua and Taupo. Let it never be said that I am not generous.
Cheers.
