Vodafone NZ Vodem Mac OS X software

by kai on 25/09/2007

I was having a bunch of trouble with my Vodem for the last few weeks. Particular when I was using it a bit further away from the CBD, it seemed to be very unstable while being connected to the network and it seemed that it had some issues when it tried to switch between the 3G and the 3G Broadband network.

by kai on 21/09/2007

Barely Out Of Beta 3 has been put live yesterday afternoon as Minty has told me later last night when we met in a small town named Featherston (which is "behind the hills" from a Wellingtonian's point of view :), enjoyed being geeky and played board games.

The guys from Daemon (namely Geoff Bowers I suppose) have released a Farcry CMS 4.0 for developers training course.

by kai on 19/09/2007

This issue came up on the German cf-discussion list the other day and I thought it's a good idea to post it. Someone had massive cfdocument issues.

The latest hotfix for CF 7.0.2 is CHF 3, it has just been released a few…
