Who Is Nick Hodge?

Who Is Nick Hodge?
An interesting question, who am I? This is the question that we all must answer whilst we are on this small planet. It is right up there with "What is the meaning of life?" Maybe they are connected.

De-commissioning old Content Management System

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Notes from De-commissioning old Content Management System: The MungenetEngine. The engine has rendered 10 million image views and 2.5 million page views from handcoded MySQL and PHP.

The Ongoing Bit Drought

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Will Hughes has an excellent perspective. Especially on the Tiering, and impact on cross-ISP charging.

We are still in a drought here. A drought that is going to have a dramatic effect on our kids, and Australia's future economy.
