Just had a chat to James Coleman on Radio Live. Top stuff.

Also pays to note that Trademe are very cool. They've asked for proof of ownership to cover their rears, but otherwise are happy to let it run for a bit.

And it's made Wikipedia too!

That Wikipedia entry's missing the Geekzone stuff and TradeMe auction though.

Cheers. It's damn hard work coming up with answers, so I've only selected some of the more funny questions. There's no way I can get to all of them.

Insanity.

I'm trying I'm trying!!
You have to discount that number because half of them are stupid things like "can I have a buy now" and "will it fit in my lounge".

If you want to see all the unanswered questions, here's a snapshot (all 500kb of html

I think the cup holder question at least deserves an answer.
